William Shatner starred in a great "Twilight Zone" episode before he played Captain Kirk on "Star Trek." As such, he was no stranger to horror and spooky sci-fi — and he continued working in those genres after the series ended. "The Devil's Rain" isn't the most acclaimed project in Shatner's oeuvre, mind you, but everyone owes it to themselves to check out this bizarre gem at least once.

"The Devil's Rain" follows the Preston family as they take on a group of Satanic cultists. The devil-worshippers are led by Jonathan Corbis (Ernest Borgnine), who's held a grudge against the family for hundreds of years. Shatner plays Mark, a member of the Preston clan who gets into a dust-up with the baddies.

Despite its terrifying premise, there's no point trying to explain the plot of "The Devil's Rain." The film doesn't make a lick of sense, but it's very entertaining and boasts an unsettling, spooky atmosphere. If you like schlock horror where people melt, this is the movie for you.…
