Blu-ray Review – The Devonsville Terror

1983's "The Devonsville Terror" is a story of witchcraft and punishment that evokes the Salem witch trials, with co-writer/director Ulli Lommel questing to find the horror in suspicion and punishment. However, Lommel doesn't have access to Massachusetts, settling for rural Wisconsin instead, which provides the battleground in this war between sexes, as the writing gradually turns proposed spookiness into an examination of weaponized masculinity set loose inside a small town filled with hostile and tormented characters. "The Devonsville Terror" is bizarre, which always helps the endeavor, with Lommel stumbling through the feature, hitting a few high points of gore and unintentional comedy while trying to sell a half-baked tale of brewing evil and revenge.
