Just because a movie has an interesting title doesn't mean that the movie itself will be interesting. And that was the case with the 2021 horror movie "Diavlo" (aka "The Devil's Child").
I was fortunate enough to stumble upon this horror movie from writer and director David Bohorquez by random luck, and with it being a new horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to take the time to sit down and watch it, even without knowing what the movie was about.
And while I managed to endure the entire ordeal to the end, then "Diavlo" just offered very little entertainment to me, and it was very difficult to get submerged into the rather mundane and boring storyline as it was just so unfathomably slow paced. Actually, the storyline was lacking interesting elements to it, so it was a struggle to get through this 2021 horror movie.
Visually then there were definitely some interesting aspects to "Diavlo", but it wasn't never anything that managed to more than just poke at the embers. A shame really, because the movie would have benefitted tremendously if it had more contents visually and story-wise.
The acting in "Diavlo" were adequate, but the actors and actresses were rather hindered by an inferior script and a bland character gallery. So they were fighting a somewhat uphill battle.
For a horror movie then "Diavlo" was just not outstanding or memorable, and it was a movie that came and went without as much as a groan or a bite. And this movie will slowly fade into the mists of oblivion and never come back out for a second viewing.
My rating of "Diavlo" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

Too slow paced and uneventful...
WHAT GARBAGE!! :(
OMG!!! Can you say BORING, SLOW, STUPID, TEDIOUS and NO STORY LINE what so ever??? If you watch this dreck, you will. Only good thing was the creepy old house. This could have been ok as a 15 min short, how did they get the money to make it 1 1/2 hours long? Your guess is as good is mine. Skip IT.
HOT TRash
Who the hell green lit this crap. Lol Not good. The effects was the best part of the movie.
