What happens

Devilman (Japanese: デビルマン, Hepburn: Debiruman) is a 2004 Japanese superhero film directed by Hiroyuki Nasu, based on the manga series of the same name by Go Nagai. The film was originally scheduled for a release in May, but was postponed to October 9 due to reshoots. Devilman was panned by critics and audiences, with many considering it as one of the worst Japanese films ever made. It was also a commercial failure, grossing 520 million yen against a 1 billion yen production budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
