Right, well the cover/poster for the 2022 horror movie "Revealer" was interesting, especially given the 1980s vibe and the tentacles in the background. And being an avid horror fan and a Lovecraft fan, of course I opted to watch "Revealer", despite of never having heard about it prior to watching it.
I wasn't sure what I was in for here, from writers Luke Boyce, Michael Moreci and Tim Seeley, but I do believe in giving a movie a fair chance. And since "Revealer" was a horror movie, then I was already interesting in watching it.
The storyline told in "Revealer" was a bit too far out there for my liking. I mean, the end of days apparently takes place in the 1980s, and all we get to see, essentially, is the insides of a sleazy strip club. But wait, it gets better, then suddenly the demon Asmodeus shows up. Right.
Well, it might have worked if anything interesting actually took place during the slow paced progress of the narrative. But it didn't, and that means that you are stuck with a somewhat dull and monotonous storyline that takes forever to get nowhere and tells nothing worthwhile while doing that. Not really the recipe for a top of the line narrative.
The acting performances in "Revealer" were actually fair enough, despite of the cast ensemble being very small, and the actresses and actors virtually had next to nothing to work with. So at least that counted for something.
Visually then "Revealer" was okay, I guess. If you look aside from the inarticulate rubber mask that they used for Asmodeus.
All in all, then "Revealer" is not a fabulous horror movie, nor is it actually particularly scary or entertaining. If you enjoy horror movies, then I suggest you get your kicks elsewhere, like "Stranger Things" for example, as "Revealer" seems to be somewhat influenced by that series.
My rating of director Luke Boyce's "Revealer" lands on a three out of ten stars.
