Devil Story
Of every shot on film and distributed to cinemas feature I have ever sat through, this mess was worse than Plan Nine, The Room, Zombie Lake or anything else I can think of. Mike Bracken recently reviewed it and his quips made me realize not only could Rifftrax save it, but make it a good live event. It's a 70s French made train wreck consisting of random ideas... an old witch, a gut stomping mummy, and a bad rubber masked mutant in a nazi uniform running about a cemetery, some nonsense about a toy boat representing a shipwreck atop a cliff having hidden treasure and a guy shooting at a (not very) phantom horse in day for night shot scenes that go on for what feels like twenty minutes. Is there a plot? Probably at some point but it was misplaced and nobody knows where it is now. Does anything in it make sense? 🤔 I don't believe so. It is begging to be riffed.

I recently saw it and thought it was perfect for Rifftrax: the only movie that simultaneously reminds me of Frankenstein Island and Last Year at Marienbad. It actually came out in 1986, but like Frankenstein Island it feels 15 years older than it is.
