The part which gave birth to the ideas, if that phrase makes sense, happens when Michael comes to the place where he plans to execute Lucifer’s confinement by binding him with a chain that appears to be unbreakable. While being dragged over, Lucifer, who is already in a weakened state, comments, “Is this really necessary?” While we are only just a little over two weeks into 2023, I am looking forward to seeing a funnier line delivered in a movie this year unless Elaine May went off to finish working without anyone knowing. The other moments in The Devil Conspiracy do not reach anywhere near that level of ridiculously sublime, but suffice it to say, it makes an honest attempt, intended pun or not.
The Shroud of Turin, said to be the burial cloth Jesus was wrapped in and believed to showcase his image it has been placed on display in the present day. This has drawn in thousands of tourists daily. One of the tourists, skeptical American art expert Laura Milton, also known as Alice Orr-Ewing, has been allowed access to view a statue depicting Michael defeating Lucifer thanks to Father Marconi, known as Joe Doyle. While loitering after hours, Laura observes a sinister woman known as Liz, alongside fellow conspirators, stealing the Shroud of Rome while assassinating Father Marconi in a shockingly violent getaway.
Liz is part of the Satanist cult who wishes to harness the power of Satan to unleash him in the vessel of an unborn child. Their goal is for him, along with his fellow demons, to govern Earth. Unfortunately, they have faced many challenges as mortal bodies can’t withstand the surface of rage and power from Lucifer. The only one who could survive is the infant Christ. However, Liz does possess a biological advantage with her, Dr Liz.
I know, it sounds completely foolproof. What they weren’t expecting, though, as a consequence of Father Marconi’s dying request, is Michael goes off in search of a rematch with his former adversary, but in this case, it was Michael in control of the corpse.
For a moment, it was easy to make excuses for the many artistic missteps within The Devil Conspiracy, which ranged from its out-of-sync action to its out-of-sync acting. But then during the last one-third of The Devil Conspiracy, the film dials down the absurdity and becomes a lot more conventional as well as monotonous, exactly at the moment when it should be escalating to even crazier levels. The greatest heartbreak comes at detailing, an overly attempted climax, and resolves with a cliffhanger, only to set up a sequel whose existence only comforts you that the time of the Rapture is nigh.
Indeed, The Devil Conspiracy is far wilder than the proverbial and, no matter which end of the theological spectrum you sit on, is a fruitcake that is twice as difficult to swallow. In fact such is the extent of its absurdity that I will recommend it on the basis of discourse of a movie this outlandish is extremely rare these days.
This is something I cannot accomplish due to professional standards and regulations. However, if my attempt at describing its absurdities has inspired you enough to check it out, just know that I guarantee you will not ever forget that experience.
