If you watch the trailer, you *will* see the best parts. I read one review that actually defended this "movie", claiming it wasn't as bad as the negative reviews claim, but... This is very much incorrect. (I wonder if that reviewer actually watched it?)As of writing this, 17 reviews have given it a 2.5 star rating. That's only 2.5 more than it deserves. With 17 reviews showing 5 positive, and 12 critical (not counting this one), it's fairly clear that this "movie" is anything BUT good!Normally, a good, or even decent movie has something going for it. This does not. No, instead we get a bunch of shallow, pretentious "college" girls whose characters are poorly written, directed and horribly acted. Sure, they have that one "weird girl who is into the occult" who saves the day, but again, poor job all around. There isn't one character in this that was written or directed well.The acting was just bad. Not as bad as other movies I've seen, but it definitely was not good at all. The story, while a good idea really needed something. About five minutes into it you realize what that is; writers (not to mention actors, and a director). Sure, there's a cast and crew, but I was hoping for something a little more than amateur night at the local community theater!OK, so most of us who've seen this, agree that it is a horrible movie. Some people actually like it; maybe they were in it, or know who was? (Anyway who cares?) They liked it for whatever reason... Based on what I just watched, I cannot jump on that small bandwagon.SPOILER ALERT:So, it starts off with some guy who's cheating on his wife. His wife finds a gift intended for the other woman, and he gives it to her. The gift? A charm bracelet that grants wishes; with a penalty. Six wishes for your soul. Forfeit any wish once you put the bracelet on, and you lose your soul anyway. It's a deal with the devil, so it's not like it's a win-win. So, the wife puts on the bracelet, and the husband is off getting that "booty call."She decides she's leaving him, and writes him a letter telling why. She also makes her first wish (you find later out she wished the mistress would rob him blind). Then we see the husband and his new "friend" laying down, about to get funky. All of a sudden she stops cold and starts giving him the whole, "You're not gonna leave her" line. She then gets a "look" in her eye, and after a cheesy exchange, she attacks him poking his eyes out, blinding him.Jump to the "Sorority of Airheads" (Pi Beta Dum Dum?)Valentines Day. We now meet the shallow sorority gals. We get a glimpse of each personality (as best as these "actors" can give) and after a ridiculous conversation, there's someone at the door. It's one of the "sisters" many boyfriends with flowers, and chocolates (how sweet). Then, another "gift" is found. This one is left on the front steps; a box with a strange charm bracelet in it. Of course, the greedy leader decides she is keeping it. Since there's no note, and nobody has a clue who it's for outside of speculation, she puts it on, and we get to see her first wish almost immediately. She wishes one of the girls would shut up, and poof! She can't open her mouth! Skip ahead and we see that she's used up her wishes, and then she vanishes in a poorly executed special effect (A flash of lights, basically), leaving the bracelet on the floor for the next one to find.She does. And she makes her lame wishes, and poof! Gone! This continues, along with the police and college Dean getting involved. (Remember the guy who was blinded in the beginning? Well, it's the stepdad to one of the sorority girls. Yay.) The police are trying to find the girls' mother (who btw is now in the bracelet, or hell because she freaked out, and forfeited her other wishes). They want to question her to know if she can help find her mother because the police think she tried killing her husband. In the meantime, the bracelet is making its way through the sorority lineup.The cop gets killed, more lame wishes are made, and before long, the "weird girl" of the house figures out what is going on. After hiding from the zombies in a bedroom (yeah, another lame wish; bring back the dead guys from earlier mishaps), she chats it up with satan. She makes few wishes to fix things, and comes up with a way to "win". The way to win? Beat the devil. How? Wish for what he cannot grant. What does she want? To talk to god. He can't make that happen, so the bracelet disappears, and all of the recent souls reappear. The catch? Wait, you didn't think there'd be a catch? It IS a deal with the devil... The wishes seem to still be in effect. How? She just won, right? RIGHT?!? Well, since the wishes were still in effect, the zombies come to the bedroom door. As soon as they figure out the wishes haven't been reversed, the zombies charge in, and it's over. Movie finished. Viewers, disappointed.Actually, after reading this review, I think it sounds better than it actually turned out! Just my opinion, but hey... That's what this is about.

Charming!
What a pleasant surprise! I've been a fan of David Decoteau's for years, and even I admit that a lot of his movies leave something to be desired in the plot department. However, 666 Devilish Charm is a campy, fun comedy with a decent, funny script and plenty of eye candy. There a lot of hot guys and ladies in this movie. Unlike most of Decoteau's movies in recent years the hot, shirtless guys, aren't the focal point. And I thought that was a good thing for a change. More plot, less guys in their underwear. After viewing the closing credits, I understood why this was such a fun movie. It was written by Rolfe Kanefsky, who directed / wrote The Hazing and There's Nothing Out There, two more movies that I really enjoyed.

I want to totally hate it. I want to give it one star
I want to totally hate it. I want to give it one star. I couldn't help but finish it, bad acting, lousy script and all. I kept watching, and I don't regret it. No reason at all, there. There's some kind of idiotic charm about this that seems completely accidental . I can't reccomend it, but didn't hate it quite as much as I thought I would.

Entertaining and extremely easy to follow
Many girls in this movie but the girl India is really attractive, and keeps you watching. The movie is entertaining and funny. Not really scary at all. Not hard to understand, just really simple and enjoyable. Many jokes are adult humor, not for little kids.

I sorta-recommend this one if comedy-fantasy is your thing. (Uh, it was a comedy, wasn't it???)
This is a fantasy movie that is simplistic, "sexy" fun without being offensive. It was a corner-cutting low budget kind of thing, but not so bad as to force me to turn it off. As a matter of fact, I'd say that if you are looking for a fun fantasy movie, I'd actually recommend this one if you are just looking to take your mental phone off the hook and have a good time. The actors were not as bad as others have stated! I thought they did a pretty good job working with what they had. Enjoy!

I think the Beast may not want 666 to be his number anymore after watching this!
These 666 movies try to bring in "Blast from the Past" B-movie Scream Queens to possibly try to get people interested, but the Scream Queens usually have a very supporting role and the acting of the main actors and actresses are so wooden that you build a log cabin with them. I guess I was expecting more.

So excited!!
Can't wait for this one! Great cast and great cult director (Mr. Decoteau) .. Hopefully will be on Netflix as well?

If you have nothing better to do...
Not the best acting but the makers were going for eye candy--there was some raw talent, admittedly. A cursed bracelet turns people into killers...I suppose you could call them zombies if you want...and they did. Weak plot and script. The solution for beating the Devil was pretty simplistic. I wouldn't call this a horror film. It was humorous, especially the parts that weren't supposed to be.
