Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I watched this movie yesterday. When I saw this movie's rating on IMDb, I was suspicious about it. After watching this movie, I came to the conclusion: first, the movie is slow paced & second, this movie is not scary enough. However the acting by actress Marta in lead role is pretty good but sadly it alone is not enough to make the film enjoyable. All the side characters in movie have been given negligible role to play. Movie just focuses on Marta but after a certain time, it loses grip over the plot & pace. The only thing, I can say is if you really have some free time then watch this movie & expect very limited horror only from this movie. It seems the director is trying his hands first time at horror genre.

Okay so this film may not be everyone's cup of tea but I would have thought there were enough intelligent people on IMDb to see past the (few) shortcomings and appreciate a breath of fresh air in the horror genre. Yeah its loosely art-house but don't be put off. From the beautiful cinematography to the brilliant performance of the lead actress this really is something a bit different.I have watched countless horror/thrillers and this one really stuck with me. I really enjoy the less fantastical type of movie where you can actually believe the film could take place in the day to day world and this film does that in spades.The deterioration of the main character initially appears a bit clichéd until the reveal when we see the full extent of her mental breakdown and understand how and why.Do yourself a favour, rent or buy it, sit back with a nice bottle and engage your brain, you'll find an entertaining and ultimately satisfying descent into madness that could happen to any one of us.

Talk about an emotional mind f@$k! Wow! I had my doubts when I pulled up 'Devoured' on IMDb. I saw the current rating at 4.7 and that the Director, Greg Olliver, has only made documentaries and this film is his first full-length feature. I figured there was no way this film would be good, let alone, scary. Couldn't have been more wrong! I'm totally blown away by this beautifully, depressing horror film. First off, the cinematography and direction is absolutely stunning. The film forces you from the very start to sympathize and feel so much compassion for the lead who, by the way, is a fantastically talented actress. The way the first opening scene goes down, you are prepared for the end, but ultimately are pulled in by the main character's struggle. The genius part about it all is that you are so broken down by her life that every single scary moment is terrifying and stressfully confusing. I am still overwhelmed by what an emotional roller coaster this film is. Going from sad to scared to angry, then back to sad, scared and confused. Chilling, depressing, beautiful, dark and clever, 'Devoured' is a film that I will gladly file under art-house horror. This film is for the sophisticated horror connoisseur that has a palate for artistic direction and a hunger for hauntingly disturbing images. BRAVO!Please like me on Facebook!

This is my honest opinion. I watch every and all films associated within the horror genre and always give my unbiased opinion. I am all about celebrating people's love for horror and do not tolerate unnecessary film bashing.

As a "true" horror fan, this one is so damn, very, very, bloody, bloody awful. I found it difficult(impossible) not to fall asleep(3 times, literally) watching this one. The other reviewers are being extremely generous. The camera man and post production people did a good job, I'll say that much. Perhaps, I might rate higher if this had been a fifteen or twenty minute short movie instead of a ninety minute self-absorbed directorial masturbation. I guess it was good for you Mr. Oliver, now will someone finally give me my reach around. I did enjoy your earlier work Lemmy very much, but not enough to forgive you fully for wasting my time here. Think about sticking to documentaries, or maybe getting Wes's help with all your films. This is the type of movie that gives "New York film school style" flicks a bad name. I'm one who loves "New York film school style", but only when done intelligently by those with New York sensibilities, whether born there or not. If I were the professor of a film making class at a university in Texas, and the assignment was to make one of dem stuck up artsy-fartsy hi falootin' movies, I might give this one a better grade than I did here. After reading another reviewer's comments, I would also like to add that I am an enormous fan of Argento's work and this movie has absolutely nothing of the class of any of his works. To make such a comparison is to compare the work of a competent food porn photographer to the work of Manray.
