Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2017
THE DEVIL'S ROCK (2011) is a Kiwi creeper about two commandos, Capt. Ben Grogan (Craig Hall) and Sgt. Joseph Tane, on a mission to destroy German weaponry, during World War 2. After hitting the beach of a small island off the coast of France, the two advance to a concrete fortress. All goes according to plan, until screams are heard. Convinced that a woman is being tortured inside, Hall enters the installation, w/ Tane soon following. Once inside, the mystery begins. We slowly learn that these soldiers have far more to fear than Nazis! Something has happened in this place. Something catastrophic and unimaginable, leaving nothing but mutilated corpses in its wake. Their mission completed, the horror begins. Death and darkness ensue, as the true evil is revealed! The rest is a race to stop it, before it breaks free of its bonds, and continues its slaughter. Though much of the carnage has happened before this story begins, it's visceral representation certainly gets the point across! Special mention must be made of Gina Varela, who manages to be both seductive and terrifying, simultaneously! Her central role holds the whole project together. Matthew Sunderland is also good as Col. Klaus Meyer. Highly recommended...
