A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

College student Jake Gray (Jensen Ackles) has disturbing visions. His friends Conrad Dean (Teach Grant) and Dakota (Dominique Swain) have some troubling secrets. Then they introduce him to a weird computer group called "The Pathway". It turns out that "The Pathway" is something more disturbing. When Jake's douche boss fires him, "The Pathway" helps him get revenge. As more deadly things happen, he is more concern that this is even more dangerous than a simple cult.This movie had some good tension going. Jensen Ackles is good as the lead. The visions are a bit weak. Teach Grant is not up to the job his role needs. Dominique Swain is good as a damaged corrupted girl. Shannyn Sossamon is perfunctory as the sweet love interest. All of it was going well as an average horror movie. But the ending is really weak. It needed a lot more action to push the climax over the top.

The opening credits and music do suck.Lots of drool goes to the boy from Supernatural in this film (according to the reviews thus far). We found his performance to be very good. We found the dialog to be oddly inspired. We enjoyed the plot twists and we also enjoyed how the twists did not play as overtly cheesy.Right when this movie is about to get lame, it does something cool again.Right when you think you've nailed down what's going on with this film, it switches it up just enough to make you wonder what might be next.This is a an above-par straight to DVD horror flick and it does not put us to sleep. It's recommended for wild moods that want grotesque imagery, meandering childhood fears, and respectable acting for just under two hours.This is the movie we're hoping for when we grab a random title at a pawn shop. A cheap horror flick with a little thought, a meandering plot, a touch of gore, and a couple of memorable scenes.Other than that, we must implore that the review thread about "the chair scene" take a jealousy pill and relax. Dominique Swain rocked it and if you hated it, it's cause it wasn't youse straddling Supernatural guy. She was (is) hot, sorry to break the news!Just sayin'. :)

Devour feels like several movies have been thrown into a blender by writers Adam and Seth Gross, and then wolfed down by director David Winkler, only partially digested, and finally excreted onto the screen; some of the original ingredients are still identifiable, but on the whole, it's just one big stinky mess.Part The Omen, part Brainscan, Part FeardotCom, and part Rosemary's Baby, the Gross's screenplay sees high school student Jake Gray (Jensen Ackles) experiencing hellish waking nightmares after his pals Conrad (Teach Grant) and Dakota (the perfectly toned Dominique Swain) sign him up for an online game called 'The Pathway'. To cut a long and very confusing story short, the game is controlled by the devil herself (yes, she's a woman, just as I suspected), who is searching the world for her missing son.No prizes for guessing who turns out to be the spawn of Satan...Decent acting from its young (but perhaps not young enough) cast, the odd gruesome moment, and a gratuitous sex scene between Ackles and a fully clothed Swain (what, no nudity?) cannot help Devour from being a disappointment; and with a final comment from Jake which suggests that the whole devil thing might have been a figment of his twisted imagination, it's hard to see this film garnering praise from anyone other than fans of its lead actor.

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!
