Before I went into the movie I knew that this film had a score of 4.8, so I chose to lower my expectations and hope that there would be some enjoyable moments, I have never been so wrong.
I'll start off with the positives...the two main characters, Zach and Sam, are both reasonably well played by Allison Miller and Zach Gilford. That is the only positive in the whole movie. The movie is very cliché and has no originality to it. I have no idea why someone would fund the making of this movie, due to the fact that the script was probably written in 10 minutes.
The film overall was boring, and some scenes were just embarrassing to watch, such as the scene in the forest and the scene (which you probably seen in the trailer) where there is a large movement in Sam's stomach.
I have seen a lot of comparisons to Paranormal Activity, which are known for building the atmosphere for a climatic ending, Devil's Due fails at this as the ending feels rushed and is over very quickly. (SPOILER ALERT) It then closes to a couple in France, who are then picked up by the same cab driver who took Sam and Zach to the party which leads to the ritual. I have no idea who he is, or who any of the other people on his side are. This means we learn nothing about why they do what they do. (SPOILER END)
This film is up there as one of the worst films I have ever seen; it is unoriginal and not scary in the slightest. As a large fan of the genre, I have been left disappointed, and I'd like to apologise to movie lovers for giving money to the creators as they will probably go on to make an horrendous sequel.
