Cross of the Devil Ratings & Reviews
- Matthias_8121d agoSplitting between gothic mood piece, Euro-horror dreamscape, and narrative shrug. Cross of the Devil has all the visual trappings of a spooky good time: crumbling monasteries, misty graveyards, shadowy cults, and skeletons in robes. But for all its Hammer-like style, it never comes together into something satisfying. The plot is meandering and muddled, at times bordering on incoherent. The horror elements are present but never impactful as they drift by in a haze. I was expecting something like Tombs of the Blind Dead but Cross of the Devil is a talky period piece of slog.
- eif999April 6, 2025A chill combo of Hammer, Giallo and Spanish gothic. Some call it an unofficial 5th Blind Dead movie but that be underselling. A solid unique story helps elevate this one to a must-watch. I do wish this had some more sleaze peppered in.
