“The 300-year search for the power to damn mankind is over,” says the announcer of this schlocky ’70s trailer, and now that that’s taken care of, I can finally relax. The Devil’s Rain was a 1975 screamer starring William Shatner, Ida Lupino, Ernest Borgnine (in some sort of a pig mask, though it may have been his actual face), and other actors who were down on their luck. It also seems to have been John Travolta’s feature debut. The trailer boasts that the movie was made with the participation of Anton LaVey, the American founder and High Priest of the Church of Satan. A proud moment for cinema.
