SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...

Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Paul Magne Haakonsen I can't really say that "Devour" was a great movie, despite having both Shannyn Sossamon and Dominique Swain on the cast list. They were, in fact, the reason why I purchased this movie.The story is about Jake (played by Jensen Ackles), who sees macabre visions that turn into reality, as he has been introduced to an online game named "The Pathway". Trying to make sense of the disturbing events, Jake seek help from his newly met friend Marisol.Story-wise then "Devour" was mediocre and nothing extraordinary happened throughout the course of the entire movie. The movie wasn't particularly scary or thrilling, and it was sort of an ordeal to make it through to the end."Devour" is not groundbreaking in any sense, and not even Shannyn Sossamon and Dominique Swain could do only that much to lift up the movie, given the restraints of the script and the directorial hand of David Winkler. And "Devour" can't even bolster itself on having an impressive array of special effects to rely on.There are far better horror and thriller movies out there.

Sherazade I've seen this storyline so many times on television but it was nice to see Jensen Ackles in a feature film rather than just on his hit series and as I suspect most people (like me) had to look up his resume to go and rent this one. In the film, people who play and online game slowly begin to mutilate themselves after wards. Jake(Ackles) decides to investigate the happenings around his college by joining forces with an occult led by Shannon Sossamon but much to his surprise, he is linked to the gruesome killings and the origin of the evil than is bringing about the mutilations and murders in more ways than one. Dominique Swain(Lolita) co-stars.

riyalight I didn't have high expectations going in, but was pleasantly surprised Movie had an excellent cast of both big and small name talent.Movie had a familiar theme but awesome twist on the classic horror plot.The ending was not very predictable, and although it was strange, it was well executed.The scenes were pretty gory at points but this is a must for any cheesy horror flick.Although it is not heart stopping amazing, it has replay value, it has character, it has an excellent atmosphere about it, and it should be a staple for any good b-budget flick evening.

Scarecrow-88 A young man(Jensen Ackles), with a very promising future, finds that his violent dreams are becoming frightening real when an Internet game, called The Pathway, introduced to him by his troubled pal Conrad(Teach Grant)might by controlled by Satan himself! What's even worse is the fact that his "waking" nightmares are used in killing his friends and family. He seeks comfort in the arms of beautiful nurse Marisol(Shannyn Sossamon)who attends to his crippled wheelchair ridden mother. Dakota(the very, very sexy Dominique Swain)is Jake's friend/sometimes-lover who was a product of molestation and now receives visits from her professor so that she can pass. Aiden Kater(Martin Cummins)is the creator of The Pathway game, who practiced black magic in Satanism. Ivan(William Sadler) is the Master Satanist who quit teaching others when Aiden supposedly sacrificed his wife and child to the Devil. Jake has a deeper connection to Ivan than he realizes. There's reason why he has survived while others, such as his two friends, succumbed to suicide after killing those who caused them harm in life.I felt the development of the premise and it's characters feel rushed. I felt like there was some post-production tinkering which leaves plot holes and inconsistencies. Such as what happens to Dakota. While we actually do see what occurs to Conrad from the phone call that coerces him through emotional manipulation into murdering a person he had issues with, we might not see his death take place, but do get a glimpse of the horrifying "suicide." But, Dakota's exit from the film isn't fully realized and all we really know is that she murdered the man troubling her finishing herself off through self-mutilation. It's a scene totally left out of the film and is quite an important part of the development of the story. Anyway, later Jake is knocked unconscious by Conrad's ghost(?)and he awakens in Aiden's plush mansion. I can't understand this, but oh well. Aiden is here to inform us who Jake really is. Instead of developing Aiden, he's plopped in the flick for a few minutes and dispatched. Ivan's wife, Anne, is a major part of the grand scheme of things and we see who she has been emulating so to stay close to Jake. The final thirty or so minutes really rushes a build up during the film. Someone calls Jake's Uncle Ross on the phone. We do not know who it was. It would've been nice to know. He later is found by Jake and Marisol. And, then the film makes a bold statement that what we have witnessed, including the revealing of the Demon behind the Pathway possessions, could be just figments of Jake's demented mind. He asks for us to help him. The director and screenplay writer are the ones who needed help the most. Oh, and I do admit that Swain is an absolute sexpot, but perhaps she could try other roles that just the slut. She's become quite typecast.
