Good concept, poorly executed.

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

SPEAK OF THE DEVIL is one of the most unusual films ever made. There are so many sub plots going on only the brilliant will get it. It is the only film Robert Elarton (one of the most beautiful men in the world) ever made. Do not be fooled by its simplistic nature on the surface.The concepts of good and evil are fought out in the soul of Johna Johnson(Robert Elarton). When he finally comes to terms with the reality of his humanness, he has paid a heavy price. His temptations were never enough to take him to a place where he can never recover, but they indeed change his life forever. This is a must see for detective film lovers. One of the greatest films ever made.

I thought this film was great I just wish I could find it on DVD somewhere everywhere I go no one has even heard of this film so hopefully ill get it one day.I haven't seen this film in years and I would love to see it again even buy it on DVD...so if anyone knows where I can buy the film please let me know...the story I think was a great idea yes it was a bit tacky but loads of films are and they are great and become so called legend films.. I hear they are making a remake so I hope they do it justice and make it a good film with what they can do with films now days I surely hope so and not make it a Hollywood ending..cause I am sick and tired of having a really great film and just cause they are running out of time rush the ending and make it a stupid ending..not everybody needs to live why not have everyone die.

This movie is not that bad. It could be a lot better as the premise sounds like a good plot, but somewhere in the production, it lacks appeal. Following the Jim Bakker/PTL scandal, the movie delves on Reverend Doctor Jonah Ephraim Johnson who actually believes in God, but who is not yet a dedicated man of God. He is still a sinner as he fools around behind his wife's back, but she is using him and his beliefs to further herself. In fact, she has orgasms around large amounts of money. Cast out of Louisiana, they escape to California where they feel they fit right in. They stumble on to a spooky house where the address is dead giveaway that the place ain't right (666 13th Street!). Some Mexicans clean out the basement of strewn bones and remains and are pretty casual about it as Johnson's wife makes a pact with the devil and starts teaching the ways of Satan to gullible visitors. A few of them asks for wishes, punkers get cops killed and a girl gets bigger breasts in a routine stolen from Benny Hill. A Rabbi visits the house to shun it of evil forces: a good substitute for the traditional Catholic priest. For a comedy, it's not too funny, instead hovering somewhere between a straight horror movie and a Mel Brooks-style movie. A few jokes are thrown in here, some of which work while others stall and there but a more "Airplane!" type of direction might have been funny. There's a young man with a superhero fixation and one recurring potty joke involving a clogged toilet that refuses to be fixed; even the devil won't go near it. There some soft porn and bathroom humor for those of you who can stand it; the scenes are so detached from the main plot that they could be removed entirely. Some of the scenes are filmed especially dark so there's no idea of what you're seeing. The special effects are below par as is the obvious cheap mask on the devil girl. "Speak of the Devil" is worth a look, but you are going to be put off by the nudity, devil worship and sexual scenes. To tell the truth, the film might appeal to fans of the "Airplane/Mel Brooks/Scary Movie" style of movies, but it's actually kind of revered by fans of the Benny Hill "Inflating bra" gag involving the character of Maggot, often erroneously identified as played by Bernice Tamara Goor, who plays Eve. The role is actually played by an obscure actress name Suzan Ellen. who resembles Tamara Gorski from "Xena," whose similarity in name with Ms. Goor possibly added to the confusion. Because of this scene, you can find this clip of "Speak from the Devil" on the Internet; old VHS copies of this movie are exceedingly rare now. I was lucky to find my copy of it twelve years after the movie came out, but today, depending on where the movie's rights are, "Speak of the Devil" might end up in a DVD movie package with other horror comedies, like "Repossessed" and "Transylvania Twist" if horror/comedy fans are lucky.

"The Ungodly" is one of the worst horror movies I have seen(and I've seen nearly 2000 horror movies so far).This is a slobbering,dire,stupid mess of a film directed by Raphael Nussbaum.I can't believe I wasted my money on such a diabolically bad,excrement laden piece of trash.The acting is awful,the special effects are cheesy beyond belief and there's plenty of silly humour in this one.I found here also the most idiotic depiction of Satanism ever captured on screen.There's no suspense,no gore,just huge pile of idiocy.Avoid this piece of garbage at all costs.2 out of 10(because the final appearance of Satan is hysterically funny and there's also a little bit of sex).
