'Devil May Cry' would have worked better as a short in an anthology film, like John Carpenter's 'Body Bags.' But as a feature length horror film, it falls short.
The whole serial killer calls into a hot line plot has been done a few times now, and even those films haven't managed to do it right. 'Psycho 4' comes to mind, but even a dying Anthony Perkins is still more frightening than Tyler Mane is here. The rest of the cast is easily forgettable, other than the ''great'' Traci Lords, who manages to land her roles thanks to her beauty (which has long passed her by, unfortunately.) Seriously, though, Traci, you look terrible, and you couldn't land a role in a high school play, based on your acting ability, if your life depended on it.
'Devil May Cry' goes on entirely way too long, because you can already guess what's coming next. Tyler Mane, as the films villain, is simply awful - he spends his screen time limping around aimlessly, calling people bugs/insects (Frightening, I know.) But thanks to his height and body size, he'll keep landing roles - especially if Rob Zombie continues to destroy the 'Halloween' series.
Random Ramblings of a Madman: When Traci Lords and Tyler Mane end up being your films most memorable actors/characters, it's safe to say you have failed miserably. 'Devil May Cry' is major snooze fest with wooden actors/characters, and cheesy dialogue.
