- William Shatner battles the forces of evil in "The Devil's Rain" (1975), a movie that proves you can use Anton LaVey as a consultant and still be rated PG!

I know, I can't believe this is the first time William Shatner's shown up on this channel either!
The Shat!!!!!!
Hey Brandon! What's the music you use for your end credits?
I know. You need to review at least one weird genre movie with a Star Trek cast member in it. Like Night of the Lepus with DeForest Kelly.
¡El Diablo!! ¿Que lugar ocupa México en reproducción de tus vídeos?
Weirder Still... this isn't the oddest movie in his filmography! This is the man who did an entire flic in Esperanto!
Fun fact: While working on this movie, John Travolta became friends with the female lead, and she converted him to the Church of Scientology.
Wtf
Women..
that's EVIL
...that's prolly all she got out of him
Another fun fact: While auditioning for the church of scientology, travolta unfamiliar with the function of a theton scanner inserted it rectally and birthed his everlasting love of burley male butt play to this day!
Wait-wait-wait...Ernest Bornigne is in this movie?
Oh my God...We're watching Captain Kirk square off against Mermaid Man!!!
And Mermaid Man is the villain representing Satan...So that means he's Evil...
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL!
🙌 All praise be to the Bob of Square clothing for allowing this reference to come together at this time and place. Nema.

The Dirty Bubble's Rain.
Ahhh nice - the perfect origin for the Michael Myers mask 👍🏻 that Shatner/Michael head tilt ..!
John Carpenter saw this movie and went 🤔
@@gabrielboorom9778 You never know! This even has the black eyes. The black, soulless eyes. Maybe John watched this in the theater and thought: "You know what would make that even scarier? If Bill was even _whiter"_
@@TheRealNormanBates
The thing about Bill Shatner, Chief, he's got lifeless eyes, like a doll's eyes. He doesn't seem to be livin', til he sings "Mr. Tambourine Man", then those eyes roll over white, Mr. Sulu sees red, and despite all the Trekkies and Tribbles in the universe, Bill Shatner comes in and... rips you to pieces.
@@gabrielboorom9778 I met William Shatner 15 years ago; I was told there was... nothing left; no reason, no conscience, no understanding in even... _the_ most... _rudimentary_ sense of life .... or death, ... of good... or evil,...right or wrong.
I met this... seventy-two-year old man with... this... *blank,* pale, _emotionless_ *face,* and... the blackest eyes - the Devil's eyes.
"Coffee is the Devil's drink!"
Me: *Awkwardly sips a cup of coffee*
Roasted *in HELL* for that deep rich taste of souls.
You and me both.
The true "Devil's Rain" is watching that smooth, dark coffee drip into your cup, which you will inevitably consume in Satan's name.

Best comments ever
"You idiot! You have a shotgun. Why didn't you use that?"

Brian? =D
Ernest Borgnine is a damned national treasure. I’d watch any movie I see that he is in.
Jesse Hilton
One of my very favorites was Cabby in John Carpenters "Escape from New York". A classic role for a classy actor!
All quiet on the western front is one of my favourites
Ernest Borgnin is cool in Escape from NY as cabby🚕🚕🚕🚕
In the words of Mermaid Man, "Evil EEEEEEEEEVIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLL!!!"
Quinton McHale and James T. Kirk , you can't go wrong.
Old SpongeBob was the best SpongeBob
"My porn stache sense is tingling" Haaaaaaaaaa
@Lafe Denton WHAT ?!
Its doubly funny for me because I'm at the gym as I'm listening to this and theres literally a dude walking around right now with a big handlebar mustache fresh from 1973
"Sorry Bill, you're Jewish." Ok Brandon, I should NOT have been drinking soda at that moment. Also...holy SHIT that bit at 15:35 about Shatner doing the Myers head tilt.
15:26 okay, that genuinely gave me chills. Amazing what a little lighting and music can do. And William Shatner's face. And black eyes... the devil's eyes.
17:21 boy, is Tom Skerritt going to get a surprise when he tries to have sex!
All that's missing is the
breathing sounds of "The Shape" by Tommy Lee Wallace in *"HALLOWEEN"* or Alan Howarth
in *"HALLOWEEN II".*
As goofy as this movie is, the ending stuck with me for weeks, as a kid. Legit chilling.
Ernest Borgnine is the devil?! That would explain his Merlin's Shop of Mystic Wonders storybook.
Try the Merlin Chop, a half pound of Merlin served with steak fries, vegetable of the day, and quick dessert.
apparently he totally freaked out on set thought the production was demonically possed
@@monsterx3055 Really? Where did you hear this?
It's always the one you least suspect.
@@monsterx3055 And then he turned into a goat. (He got better.)
The most sinister beginning credits I’ve ever seen
You didn't mention Eddie Albert as one of the actors. He was Oliver Douglas on Green Acres and also a movie star of some renown.
And his son was the main star in GALAXY OF TERROR.. which Brandon reviewed during ALIEN month!
Eddie Albert was also part of one of the landing troops during the invasion of Normandie on D-Day! FACT!
I recognized his voice right away
He was also in Oklahoma!
If I want a weird 1970s horror movie with satanist technical advisors on the crew, I'll watch THE CAR.
The Car is fun schlock. Late 70s charm.
At least they would not show pentagram and upside down crosses (what aren't Satanist symbols). Or those are bargain Satanist?
Hey, that movie is remade or something; just saw a new movie at Wal-Mart for $9.98.
The 70's were a Golden Age for Satanist Side Gigs.
@@steveanderson6170 Yes, mostly because due to 80's Satanic Panic many RPG and Kinky Sex circles needed disband in fear of false prosecution.
"You are about to enter another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the Shatner Zone!"
Nice, since he was in 2 black and white episode.
@@mactony4 the one with the Gremlins right?
I thought the Shatner Zone was a dimension of hammy acting and...long...inter-sentence...pauses, followed by lightningquickbursts of dialogue.
i feel like your intro needs more pauses :3 . but the shatner zone is usually pretty welcome sometimes he's great but you always know what you'll at least get when he's in a role.
Hammer's To The devil a Daughter (starring Christopher Lee and Nastassja Kinski) and Race with the Devil (starring Peter Fonda) are two other 70's occult horror movies that you could review.
Lol. . . Is there even a hammer film that DOESNT star lee. . .
Wim Van der Straeten to the devil a daughter was hammers best and final movie.
Actually Hammer was revived in 2007.
I saw this movie at a drive inn double feature with Race With the Devil, I had nightmares for weeks
rosselliswilkinson but I wouldn’t take the experience of watching cheesy movies at a drive in theater for anything 😂
"GOD Dammit! I called for Satin, not some goat furry!"
You just summoned the Goatman of Maryland
A Godzilla shirt , is that a sign of what is coming next week ?
Would make sense since there's a new GodZilla movie; Godzilla: king of monsters.
Shatner's driver side door brought to you by Patreon's old logo
Looks kind of like one-third of the OCP corporation logo.
Or one half of the first NBA Portland Trailblazers logo.
" I've seen churches like this in New England, .........its time to move."
Man, this reminded me of another William Shatner movie- Incubus, famous for being entirely in Esperanto.
Ernest Bornigne playing a satan worshipper is like your grandpa cosplaying as Marilyn Manson lol.
@ted dymski Or Cabbie in escape from new york, or the roman soldier in jesus of nazareth.
8:12 The mustaches are on another level...I’m low key jealous
The Devils Rain jar reminds me of the Satan jar/artifact thingy in "They Live". The portal in the basement that Satan is suppose to come through. John Carpenter must of really liked this movie
If you think about it "They Live" has a few plot similarities.
That's another Carpenter film, "prince of darkness". "They Live" is the one with Roddy Piper and the sunglasses that let's him see which people are actually alien invaders.
Both are awesome, and that's an interesting observation about the jar thing.
I ADORE this movie!
Reminded me of Resident Evil 4's castle levels.
9:32 "Church of Mercyful fate" that name drop just earned a subscription for life...Best 80's metal music .
He drops plenty of sly references to various metal bands in his videos, like by wearing his Kyuss shirt or using a snippet from a Helloween instrumental to replace and improve upon the movie's soundtrack.
Always respected King Diamond for being a satanist
Speaking of hams, it's too bad that we never got a movie with William Shatner AND Vincent Price in it. Throw in Victor Buono and Roger C. Carmel and you'd have the pork section at a meat packing plant.
A horror movie staring two Oscar winners, Ida Lupino and Ernest Borgnine, from the 1970's? Sign me up.
Hey Ernest Borgnine... you're getting your Island of Dr. Moreau in my Halloween... and it's not tasting like Spumoni! Quit it!
What's Spumoni?
@@dubuyajay9964 , a delicious ice cream.
Dude, you've gotta review Hobo with a Shotgun, made in your native Canada, featuring Rutger Hauer as the lead, and the kid from small soldiers all grown up, cracking film
Greatest Canadian movie ever made!
@@avatarofkomma2525 So good! In my top 10 of all time without a doubt.
@@avatarofkomma2525 you're saying "Hoosers" is a shitty movie?
This “PG” would give kids some serious nightmares! 😅
Ernest borgnine?...eviiilllll XD
Borgnine's so evil even Satan doesn't want him. Sends him on errands every chance he gets just to make Hell a better place for a while.
Its really funny that you mention William Shatner looks like Michael Myers, because Michael Myers's mask is actually a William Shatner mask painted white.
Captain Kirk mask made same year not molded after this mask
Well, when coffe is the devil's drink, than I got the devil inside me every morning.
Oh, the fun to be had with this sentence? :3
Nice... saw this when it came out. Good for a lot of laughs. My schoolmates and I ran around screaming "BLASPHEMER" (Travolta's only line) for days.
I prefer the "blasphemer!" from Uncle Buck. It's awesome. I think it's slowed down as the sample in Psalm 69 by ministry.
Brandon, My wife says You have some nice muscles!
my man looking kinda swoll
Joey Parkhill sure...your wife ;-)
U wife gay
Aha! If I say my wife, they'll never know. Devilish indeed, Joseph😈
fingers crossed that he'll review Death Becomes Her,
From what I've seen, I think the only reason this movie's gotten any attention is just because William Shatner and the Michael Myers comparison. All in all a good review. Also after watching your review of Tales from the Darkside, I just came up with a possible future review. It's called Kwaidan, an anthology movie from Toho, and one of it's short stories might remind you of a certain segment from Tales from the Darkside.
I love that the weapon of choice for that guy were shotguns shotgun. No specific reason why. I also just like shotguns to blast away the evil dead or demonic foes. Seems really effective.
You are the best movie reviewer ever on CZcams
The rr
"Getting ready to get shat on" you just got a real lol out of me!
One of the most influential films no one has ever heard of
I saw this at the movies.
More Brandon. HALLELUJAH
(Edit) I watched Halloween 2018 last night. It is great.
2018 Halloween? You mean Sarah Connor vs Michael Myers? Yea, it was ok.
worse one yet
Watched this on a grainy 13 inch television one Friday night in the early 80s. The eyeless worshipers did look quite scary.
This was probably one that Michael Kahn left off his resume when he heard Spielberg was hiring.
Please, do 1987 stage fright . I will be best friend if you do.
czcams.com/video/Gr8LlyXcUMg/video.html
but Stage Fright is a good movie.
@@JnEricsonx Thanks for this . It gave my favourite slasher some attention but I still want to see Brandon's take on the movie.
@@wolfpac1970 This show is about Cult films and there are some great cult films for example Life force.
4:33 you missed the opportunity to say Comic-KAAAHN!!!
12:38
At one point he turns his eyes black which bears an uncanny resemblance to Michael Myers it's always been said that the Michael Myers mask used in Halloween was actually a Capt. Kirk mask painted white but it sure looks a hell of a lot like The Devil's Rain and The Devil's Rain came out the same year as the Capt. Kirk mask it's even more stunning to see that in The Devil's Rain he actually does 15:29 the famous Michael Myers head tilt coincidence or not it's pretty freaky
I expected we'd get Shatner upon sometime soon
I mean there are alot of bad star trek movies and other b movies with good old Shatner.
@@thatonea-hole My god Bones......what have I done?
@@smithwesson1896
"I don't know sir, i just don't know"
Did anybody repaired brandon's godzilla shirt ?
8:00 - Let's be honest with ourselves and admit that Keenan Wynn was probably born with that mustache!
Hey, have you seen the '75 movie, "Bug"? Kind of fits in with the Satanism thing; it's like if HP Lovecraft wrote a killer bug movie.
John Travolta appeared in this, because he had gotten no other offers when he came to Hollywood. He Agent told him to take the job, just to get the check.
A reallly fun satanic themed movie is Hammer's "The Devil Rides Out"
I would concur. One might also consider it to be the origin for Dr. Strange (ie Christopher Lee's character).
Brandon. You’re the man. Thanks for another hilarious review.
use to get this and Race With The Devil movie mix up
Makes me think of the Black Eyed Kids phenomenon.
Honestly I thought the guys that were melting we're pretty cool effects for the time anyway
The STAR TREK captain vs. Ernest BORGnine. Hmmm
That church looks like the one in Preacher
No mention of Eddie Albert ?
Aton Levey was perfect as the technical advisor. We got a lot of the magical rituals and incantations of the Satanic Bible and the enochian keys.
His book and rituals were all about show only so only fitting its in a film
Lol! I thought the same thing! William held his mom and looked into her eyes a little bit longer than normal. I thought they were going to suck face there for a minute! 😂
15 seconds in and I'm hooked. Nice open.
Hell's IT department maintains a backup Devil's Rain in a secure server room at another location.
I had no idea this movie had an origin for the Halloween series, pretty obvious know that I see it :D
LaVey had to teach them all how to pronounce the enochian keys the right way
This is my ALL TIME FAVORITE cult film. The Goat Man Ernest Borgnine at the end is AMAZING.
Nice shirt, but it doesn't count.
beat me to it.
A book of souls that a demon wants so it'll give him power.
Did the writers of the first Ghost Rider movie study this one, or at least were fans?
The Mexican PG rating stands for "Pentagram Gusta" so it's plenty authentic for a devil worshipper film.
I saw the end of this movie on TV when I was a teenager, and I couldn't explain what I had seen.
Well, after watching this review I'll never think of Ernest Borgnine as "Ernie" ever again.
You can tell he really enjoyed making this schlocky movie!
"Damn straight! I believe in Jesus and the second amendment mother fucker!"
Editor Michael Kahn and script supervisor Ana Maria Quintana later became regular crew members on Steven Spielberg movies.
Thank you Canada for William Shatner. He's the gift that just keeps on giving...
...roll of the floor moments of laughter! 🤣
0:32 - clever nod w/ the Shape!
You need to review Mazes & Monsters.
Ha ha ha! "Prepare to be Shat on..."
This is one of the scariest movies I have ever seen. Especially the first 10 minutes.
" Behold! "
" Am I supposed to be afraid of a grass snake? "
This is literally Halloween before Halloween.
Great review. I genuinely like this movie, it looks beautiful and has a nice atmosphere. Apart from other stuff, Robert Fuest, who started out as a production designer, also did direct a few episodes of the british The Avengers TV series and the great movie And Soon The Darkness (the original from 1970, of course).
Obligatory Godzilla movie request
*WE NEED MORE GODZILLA!!!*
Kingdom of the spiders! Good reference.
He looks like Myers because the original Michael Meyers mask was a shatner Halloween mask. Look it up it's a cool story
This is one of my favorites! Thank you for your take Brandon!
I got to say I never thought I'd see Captain Kirk go up against Mermaid Man. 😂
Thanks Brandon, you're the best. The only thing missing with this gem is incorrect subtitles and Moops.
Why doesn't anyone realize that Michael Myers could have just as easily been John Travolta's likeness!! He gets the same facial effect...somewhere in an alternate universe Vinnie Barberino . Is the Shape!
“I believe in power of Jesus and the second amendment, Mother Fckr!”
The most American (US) thing I’ve ever heard Brandon say.
That old man serving coffee is from the movie Gargoyles
That head tilt gave me chills
Hey do u remember the movie where there was a troll in apartment bulding who stuck a guy with a needle in his ring and turn him in troll or maybe pod and it looked so cool im sure it was late 80s movie figured u know lol i think it was called troll be could movie to do
Yes you're right it's the original Troll, ironically it's the first Harry Potter movie too
@@A77Everything I always wished Drew Struzan or someone with similar talent created a custom painting of TROLL with the title HARRY POTTER AND THE TROLL (with the HP lettering and everything).
The titlecard reminded me of Tourist Trap (1979), a very weird movie.
The 70’s had some of my favorites, especially The Blood on Satan’s Claw (1971) and The Legend of Hell House (1973) although I’d hate to see them trashed, even for fun. However, if someone could make sense of The Mephisto Waltz I’m game. Even the book didn’t help much.
10:46 That's Claudio Brook as the witch hunter. Famous Mexican actor who appeared in a ton of telenovelas and worked with Luis Buñuel and Guillermo Del Toro.
This whole Halloween connection; Just awesome
