The Devil Conspiracy: Review

By: Myriam Akbar

The Devil Conspiracy is a 2022 sci-fi horror film, written and produced by Ed Alan and directed by Nathan Frankowski. Despite it being generally overlooked and criticized, I had a blast watching it. To summarize without spoiling, the plot takes place in the near future where cloning technology has reached its highest success. A group of scientists use this tech to bring back prominent people from history, including religious figures. 

There’s several stories that connect throughout the course of the film. Part is similar to Rosemary’s Baby and The Omen, while the other part is action-packed with angels and demons battling. Because there’s so much going on, the script organization and pacing is distracting. The acting wasn’t exceptional but decent, likewise the dialogue. I imagine the main issue viewers had with the film is the religious imagery and themes, although I viewed them as almost satirical. 

Overall, I find The Devil Conspiracy to be a unique addition to the religious horror sub-genre. The “second coming” being at the hands of humans transcends other films that explore a human being chosen to birth the Anti-Christ. There’s also some ridiculous body horror and subtle twists that made the watch worth it for me.
