DeVour (2005)

That was an excellent one.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Blistering performances.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

It's been awhile since I've seen this, but it was a real psychological thriller. The kind that makes one stop & consider what this movie was really trying to get across to the audience. While it's not the best of horror movies, it's certainly far from the worst. It stayed with me, often playing through my mind even a few weeks later. If you like horror movies that concentrate more on messing with your mind than cheap jump-out-at-you type scares & gore, I think you'll enjoy this one!

This film has a few bad reviews all over the place. I gave it a chance anyway after being quite intrigued by the plot.The internet game thing isn't for everyone obviously by the other reviews. But i found that this film doesn't completely revolve around that and goes quite deep into the hole satanic ritual world.I'm never gonna be an occultist as the film puts it but yet this film kept you wandering from start to finish and i really thought it ended well. I'm not gonna spoil it for anyone yet to watch it but just give it a chance.Well worth a watch!

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

Devour is a pretty generic sort of horror movie. Not truly scary - a little creepy in parts, but no real thrills. It has your stereotypical angst characters - family issues, drug addict friend, messed up ex-girlfriend, and a new love interest who is inexorably a part of the greater plot.That being said, the overall plot is a good one. It moves forward steadily and keeps your interest, but that's about it. It isn't one of those films where you leave the theatre thinking about it, discussing the twists and turns with your friends. Where 'Devour' fails is that it is not as clever as it had the potential to be. More foreshadowing throughout instead of the straightforward laying out of details would have greatly improved this film, and would have changed the ending from 'huh, that's interesting' to 'oh my god is that for real?!' I was quite impressed with the acting. I wasn't expecting much, but the main character is actually very good, and the supporting cast is better than you would expect in a B rated film.Overall, this movie is worth seeing once. It's easy to watch, doesn't require much thought, but doesn't do anything drastic that will make it stay with you. It's the kind of film that fades away into the mass of countless other movies that you've seen over the years.
