To me, this movie is perfection.

i must have seen a different film!!

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

OK, here's what I think. I think it's a good storyline but it didn't transfer to screen very well. The only thing I really liked about this movie was Jensen Ackles. In my opinion he's too good of an actor to be in a movie like this. I mean not genre wise but it looks like it was made by an amateur. So, I did like the plot but I didn't like how it was played out. Also, it was cool to see Jensen act with his dad! Even Jensen pretty much said in an interview that it didn't come out like he was expecting it to. He said he kept thinking "What the hell is going on?" So, we're not alone. Raise your standards a bit Jen! They should have made it more like Supernatural haha

The movie 'Devour' offers nothing new in terms of substance. Yet the reason it makes the rehashed chills seem refreshing is that the director David Winkler manages to energize the plot with a decent pace of a thriller and the above average effects. A key factor for somewhat liking the movie is also the presence of Jensen Ackles, he has great looks and acts fairly well too, he is certainly a newcomer to watch out for. The other members of the cast also fit into the small suburban campus milieu. Without giving away the plot, I would like to say that the movie manages to scare and at the same time it isn't just a series of mindless screams and gore. The music and the cinematography suit the mood perfectly. I also liked the jump-cuts and the editing finesse that brings an ill-at-ease kind of tension all through.

I liked the trailer for this movie so I bought it.I liked how it started out.Good special effects and got really interesting even though it's not an original idea.I thought all the actors playing these roles were really good. At first I assumed Jake and Dakota were a couple and not just friends,so it made no sense the way they were acting towards each other,and I didn't like the way Jake was treating her since she seemed to have a thing for him.I really liked the Conrad character(played nicely by Teach Grant) and was hoping he would have been around until the end.It was disappointing that he was killed off so early on since there was a lot more about him which should have been explored.This movie started to annoy me once the mystery unfolded and Jake(Played very well by Jensen Ackles)found out who he really was and the truth about his parents.This part of the story was way too rushed and not explained properly.There were a lot of holes in the story I liked Jake's uncle.His character was also a local cop and I was convinced he would survive and help solve the mystery,but instead gets killed in a stupid,senseless way.His uncle had absolutely no connection to the pathway and wasn't hated by the main 3 characters who were playing the game. The part that ruined it for me the most and why i'm selling this DVD is the pathetic ending! First the stupid events leading up to Jacob's Satanic past, for instance some woman and her unborn child being sacrificed by some guy who wanted some kind of power.The next thing you know,this woman was still alive and working as a nurse,and was the same age as her son who was supposedly stolen and raised by a couple pretending to be Christians.It never fully explained or showed how his adoptive mother(if that's who she even was)ended up in a wheelchair and at some nursing home.The tension between Jake and his adoptive father(if that was who he really was also) was just abruptly added without a proper explanation either.This movie has some of the worst character development that i've seen. Now the part of this movie that was the worst and laughable was that the devil in this horrible story was a woman.Oh my God could it get any more stupid.The Devil is no more a woman then God himself is! If the devil is a woman and his real mother was also a woman then how the hell was he conceived? At this point the movie was a flop.The cheesy she/he/creature with tits scaring the kids who were playing the pathway was anything but frightening.Had the devil been male(like HE actually is) this movie may have made more sense as to Jake possibly being born out of Satanic ritual abuse.But if this was the case,you would need a real flesh and blood man and woman.It would have made more sense if his father (who was formerly involved in the occult anyway) had an affair with the woman posing as a nurse.Maybe she and her unborn child were sacrificed during a Satanic mass and then born again with certain abilities.His father could have remarried and stole the baby and raised him.Conveniately the wife gets in an accident and is crippled,and the grown Jacob is having nightmares about his past and who is mother really is.The game pathway is an interesting and good way for the devil's followers to devour souls end of story. Anyhow this is not how they wrote it.They even had the nerve to throw in at the end in the last few seconds before the end credits a stupid idea that the entire movie was all in Jake's head and that he somehow killed off all those people and got away with it and finally got caught.And what was with that stupid line "the devil couldn't kill her own/our own child",I mean what was that all about.No matter what angle they used the plot made absolutely no sense and wasn't even based on actual facts so This is why it was a total flop! Of course somebody else may have their own interpretation of the events of this movie with all the holes in this story and I would love to hear it!I gave this movie a 3 out of 10 because it was a bad script with a talented cast.What a waste of good talent!

This movie is very similar to movies such as Cry Wolf, The Ring 1 and 2, and Stay Alive. In all these movies a character does something (like visit a website, watch a video, play a video game, or start a rumor) which starts into motion a chain of events (usually unleashing something evil) that result in a blood bath. While this is probably considered a B movie, I thought it was a fairly good B movie. It sure wasn't the best horror movie I've ever saw, but it did entertain me. I thought Jensen Ackles (Jake) and Dominique Swain (Dakota) did an excellent job portraying and acting their parts... Shannyn Sossamon (Marisol)was just mediocre in her acting skills. I found her acting kind of bland and boring.The movie itself started off really well. It was set up well, but then the further along it got the worse it got. If a different person were playing Marisol, if they'd kept the beginning and the basis of things being connected to the website, but found a way to make various parts and the ending more realistic and added a bigger budget to pull all of that off, then this had the potential to of been a great movie. However, they did not and this is what we are stuck with. Which is, a really good, but not great B movie...All and all this movie is not a complete waste of time. I think it was highly entertaining, but like someone else said it is no masterpiece. If you start the movie with unrealistic expectations you will be disappointed. It is best to have no expectations at all and decide for yourself. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes horror movies or thrillers, but if you don't then it's not for you.
