The longest ending ever? Yeah. Maybe the awesomest too.
The Devil’s Rain! is a movie that could only have been made in 1975, uniting old Hollywood royalty, television stars, the visionary director of The Abominable Dr. Phibes and the Church of Satan in the Mexican desert.

It is not a perfect movie. You can’t even say that it has plot holes, as that would require something of a coherent plot — a fact director Robert Fuest was all too aware of. On the sparkling commentary track which accompanies the new blu-ray release from Severin (picked up from the Dark Sky DVD release), he speaks about discussions with the writers (Gabe Essoe, James Ashton and Gerald Hopman, whose only credit is co-producing Evilspeak, so one assumes that he is Satan) where they assured him that the script made perfect sense. While Fuest claims that he did what he could to clear up his issues with the film, what emerged was a movie that effectively decimated his promising directorial career.

But you know what? I embrace plot holes the way some critics hold dearly onto their Criterion collection films and back issues of Premiere. There’s no way I can be objective about The Devil’s Rain! The only box it doesn’t check for me is a disclaimer stating that it’s based on a true story.

The film begins with close-ups of Bosch’s painting The Garden of Earthly Delights, along with the wails of the damned as they gnash their teeth in Hell. Then, we’re dropped into the lives of the Preston family, who have suffered under a curse for hundreds of years.

Turns out that at some point in the 18th century, the family screwed over Jonathan Corbis (Ernest Borgnine, Escape from New York), a Satanist who was eventually burned at the stake. He had a book containing the souls of all he had damned, which was stolen by Martin Fyfe (William Shatner, who I don’t need to tell you anything else about). Before he dies, Corbis vows revenge on the Fyfe family, which changes its name to Preston. He’s been stealing them one by one, selling their souls to Satan and trapping them in the devil’s rain. They then become living wax figures with melting eyes and black robes.

That’s how we meet Steve Preston, the leader of the family, who has escaped Corbis to warn his wife (Ida Lupino, an actress (and director) known for noir classics like The Bigamist and On Dangerous Ground. She often referred to herself as the poor man’s Bette Davis, as she was often offered the parts that Davis had turned down. She refused those parts so many times that Warner Brothers suspended her, so she used that time to learn the craft of directing on set. As roles for her slowed, she became the second female director admitted to the Director’s Guild, following Dorothy Arzner, the sole woman director of Hollywood’s “Golden Age.”) and son, Mark (also Shatner). As the old man tells them to give the book of souls back, he melts in the rain.

So what does Mark do? Well, he takes the book directly to Corbis, challenging him to a battle of faith in the desert. That battle quickly turns into Mark trying to escape, but Corbis’ disciples are too much for him. He shows a cross to the priest, who transforms it into a snake before using a ritual to erase Mark’s memory in preparation for a major ceremony.

Oh the 1970’s — when your main character gets wiped out minutes into a movie because he has to leave town for a three day Star Trek convention in New York. That really happened and I have no idea if that was the reason why Shatner goes from hero to geek in such record time.

A choice chunk of vintage 70’s horror camp schlock
The Preston family find themselves being tormented by a centuries old curse brought upon them by a lethal Satanic sect led by the evil and powerful Corbis (robustly played with deliciously wicked lip-smacking relish by Ernest Borgnine). It’s up to occult expert Dr. Sam Richards (an amiably befuddled Eddie Albert) and the courageous Tom Preston (a sturdy portrayal by the always reliable Tom Skerritt) to stop Corbis and his minions from getting their vile hands on a precious secret book.

Director Robert Fuest, working from an incoherent and nonsensical script by James Ashton, Gabe Essoe, and Gerald Hopman, does an ace job of crafting a supremely spooky’n’surreal anything-can-happen nightmarish atmosphere, makes fine use of the desolate Mexican desert landscape (Alex Phillips Jr.’s expressive widescreen cinematography helps a lot here), and treats the hopelessly muddled material with commendable (albeit totally misguided) seriousness. The once in a lifetime cast of big name stars gives this honey an extra wacky lift: Besides Albert, Skerritt, and Borgnine, we’ve also got William Shatner in full-blown hambone histrionic mode, Ida Lupino, a delightfully grouchy Keenan Wynn, comely “Eight is Enough” TV series regular Joan Prather, and even John Travolta in his ignominious film debut. The luscious Lisa Todd has a memorably sexy bit as seductive succubus Lilith while legendary real-life Satanist Anton LeVay briefly appears as a high priest (and also served as a technical adviser!). Al De Lory’s shuddery score hits the spirited spine-tingling spot. The extraordinary sight of Borgnine sporting grotesque goat’s head make-up complete with ram’s horns (!) and the ridiculously protracted grand scale goopy climax greatly enhance this beautifully berserk baby’s considerable kitschy charm.
