Devil Man, Vol. 1: The Birth Movie Review 1987

High school student Ryu tells his old friend Akira about his father's terrible death and the coming supernatural threat, then says he thinks they can bond with demons' power in order to fight them. Somehow he convinces Akira to go along with this totally ridiculous plan. Things soon spiral out of control into a demonic free-for-all. An enormous suspension of disbelief is required to buy that even high school boys would be stupid enough to get into this much trouble. Based on the story by Go Nagai.
