CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

SnoopyStyle 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.

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.

BA_Harrison 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.

celticravenwolf 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.
