The Devil’s Restaurant

A horror-comedy that actually works, sort of… at least well enough that I was reasonably entertained. In this case, a restauranteur strikes a deal with a demon who lives in the basement. The demon makes the restaurant successful, in exchange for occasionally being fed only the worst of the customers.

The problem with most “horror comedy” is it’s really just a bad horror movie trying to be passed off as “comedy” because it’s just bad. In this case, it’s an actual comedy that happens to be about horror topics.

The acting is terrible, the movie is pretty goofy, but it knows what it is and isn’t trying to be anything more. What’s more, the cast, though pretty terrible, seem like they enjoyed making it. It’s fun and, this works in its favor too, just slightly original—definitely not reminiscent of anything I’ve seen before. I liked it.
