TdSmth5 Two commandos from New Zealand arrive on the Channel Islands the day before D Day. The aim of the allies is to cause havoc there to distract the Nazis and draw their attention away from Normandy.They are about to enter a bunker but a Nazi comes out warning them of what's inside. The commandos kill him and enter the bunker. One of them is quickly dispatched. The other is grabbed and bound by the last remaining Nazi in the bunker. A woman constantly screams in the background as the Nazi aims to interrogate the commando who doesn't reveal much. The Nazi managed to grab a photograph from the commando showing a woman, but he won't reveal who she is until the Nazi threatens to burn the photo. That's when the commando starts talking.The room where they are in is filled with corpses and body parts, there is a book with a pentagram too. When the commando manages to turn the tables he investigates upstairs what's with the screaming woman. But to his surprise, it's his woman, the one from the photograph. The Nazi warns him not to believe his eyes nor what the woman says, that she's some type of female demon who is responsible for the carnage in the bunker and who has an appetite for human flesh. He's the last one of a unit that was sent to look for esoteric artifacts which then the Nazis will try to use for their military advantage. He wants to defeat the demon but needs the commandos help. They engage in a ceremony but the commando wants to eliminate the Nazis as well.The Devil's Rock sure is small budget. There are only a handful of actors and few locations, but it's a good-looking movie. We are made to spend too much time listening to the Nazi and the commando talk. Still, the movie works. Things improve once we meet the occasionally sexy demon-girl. It could have been even better had they picked a more attractive actress for that role, like the lovely Jessica Grace Smith who gets only a few seconds screen time. The historical and esoteric stuff is well researched and well done. So are the props. There's a bit of good gore and effects. It's a movie with the right ambition for the budget, they didn't try to do something they couldn't do.

Claudio Carvalho In 1944, the New Zealander's soldiers Captain Ben Grogan (Craig Hall) and Sergeant Joseph Tane (Karlos Drinkwater) are assigned to explode a German military facility in a occupied Channel Island to create a diversion far from the Normandy on the eve of the D-Day. They hear screams inside the installation that is apparently unprotected and they prepare the explosives. When Grogan overhears a woman scream, he decides to seek her out inside the bunker and the reluctant Joseph follows him. Grogan is captured by Colonel Klaus Meyer (Matthew Sunderland) and Joseph is murdered. Grogan sees mutilated corpses and he escapes from Meyer. When he meets the woman, he finds that she is his deceased wife Helena (Gina Varela), who died in a airborne bombing. Soon Grogan learns that Helena is actually a demon unleashed by Meyer, who is researching the occultism expecting to create the ultimate weapon to win the war. Now Grogan is forced to team-up with Meyer to save his life against evil that is using Helena appearance to seduce him. "The Devil's Rock" is a worthwhile gore B-movie, with a reasonable story and good makeup. The idea of Nazis exploring occultism is not original but this movie is supported basically by three actors and an actress, all of them unknown but with good performances. There are brains, flesh, bones, eyeballs and lots of gore and Gina Varela is a seductive woman. There is one last scene in the credits, with the demon and a German soldier. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "A Rocha do Diabo" ("The Devil's Rock")

Bezenby I thought this one looked pretty good, but I was wrong. It's like stumbling into a horror film that's only got twenty minutes left to go, only to have that twenty minutes stretch out for an hour and a half, with most of the goods bits already behind you. How can you take the subject of Nazis and the paranormal and turn it into a talk-fest?It's starts out alright, what with two New Zealand soldiers heading out to the channel islands to do the old swticheroo before Saving Private Ryan starts the next day. They're planning on blowing up one of the German's big guns, but when they get to the target, they hear all sorts of screaming and what not going on below. This being a horror film, they head inside to see what's kind of Teutonic shenanigans have been going down. At first, it's all atmosphere and build up, as our two soldiers find a lot of torn apart corpses of German soldiers and a book about devil worship and such like, but before long it dawns on the viewer that there's going to be a grand total of about three characters in this film, with an awful lot of time to pad out. To sum up, one soldier gets killed and the other gets captured by the sole remaining Nazi, who may or may not be holding a woman captive somewhere in the bunker. Then the Nazi and the soldier sit down to have a nice chat, like those interminable bits of Inglorius Basterds where people sat around talking for ages while you were screaming at the film for someone to shoot someone else, for Christ's sake. So, there's a demon of some sort too, but I won't go into too much detail in case you feel the need to watch the film. The make up effects are good and there's plenty of gore, but I can't help but think that the filmmakers should have concentrated on what happened to the Germans prior to the Allied soldiers turning up. Plus, there's a non-ending that'll have you shrugging and writing off the quid you paid for this film in Poundland.

JoeB131 Not a bad film, obviously knows who its audience is, which is sci-fi and horror nerds who watch movies like this. There's even a nod to the Indiana Jones films and Lovecraft myths.So the plot is that on the eve of D-Day, a couple of New Zealand Commandos are sent to take out a gun position on one the channel Islands, to distract the Nazis from where they were really going to land. The two commandos find most of the Nazis are already dead, mauled by something in the fortress that is screaming horribly.After one of them is killed by the last Nazi, who is also a specialist in the occult, the other finds the Nazis have summoned a demon who can shape shift into the image of the viewers loved one.Now, I give this movie its due. It was probably made on a budget of bottle deposits, but the acting isn't that bad and the plot moves along at a good pace. Better than the typical, "Let's make a Zombie Movie" garbage we see from low budget film makers.
