    Devil's Due



    Alright, I will admit this looks quite promising.

    I think this looks good. I'm looking forward to seeing it. It comes out the day after my Mom's birthday so I'm taking her to see it.

    According to the Wikipedia page for this movie, Eli Roth tweeted the following after a screening:

    "Don't pre-judge Devil's Due because Rosemary's Baby is a 'holy grail' movie. It's so smart, creative, inventive, and fun. Very very scary. The guys at Radio Silence killed it. Devil's Due is a legit scary, smart, horror film. So many awesome scenes. I loved it."

    Yeah this movie looks bad.

    But can I just say how happy I am that the old school William Castle style of horror movie marketing is coming back. This, Carrie, and Curse of Chucky did it.

    I think this movie looks good actually.

    I'll have a review of it later tonight or tomorrow morning

    I just need to know if it is bad funny or intentionally funny. I still have one bad movie card so I need to know if this is worth it.

    that devil baby thing was hilarious (and looked awesome), but yeah this movie looks stupid. Another one of those Paranormal Activity like movies where very unnecessary things will happen for 20 minutes before something vaguely creepy happens then it will have a movie ruining shocker type ending. Blah.

    A new burger place opens up, you know the typical fast food chain that advertises it has everything better and different than those that you are accustom to. The menu has everything a typical McDonalds has from a burger that is identical to a Big Mac to Happy Meals that come in a cardboard box with a ridiculous toy kids make such a big deal about.

    You go to this new burger place expecting the same food as McDonalds like a burger that looks nothing like it does in commercials to fries that are somehow impossibly cold. Then you open up the wrapping on your burger and to your surprise it actually looks good, not something a teenager threw together in .5 seconds and sloppily wrapped it up. You then go on to eat a french fry and holy shit, it's not cold it is actually hot. Perhaps this new place although looking like something you have unwillingly eaten hundreds of times before is actually decent!

    You smile, look around and think wow maybe this place is actually good! Just as you get yourself giddy with that possibility you take another bite of the burger and uh oh, there is mayo on it. You specifically said NO MAYO! That's OK though the burger is still good. You go for another fry and...fuck it's cold and soggy. You take another and another and they are all the same, cold and soggy. But that first fry was fucking hot and crispy! Another bite of the burger and you bite into an entire wedge of onion, not a simple ring as it should be.

    All that hope and possibility of this new burger place actually being good and different! What happened?!!

    Yes, this is a movie review. Watching Devil's Due was exactly like what I described above. It stars with promise which gave me false hope but it oh so quickly reverted back to the cookie cutter movie it truly is. My biggest problem with that is it seems to do it blatantly, as if the makers of this film were behind the screen giving the audience the finger and laughing.

    Such a shame because there are one or two scenes here that show promise and if the movie stayed this way it would genuinely be good! Also the two leads do a very solid job of acting. But it is all water under the bridge, a bridge that starts to crumble and fall apart rather quickly after about 30 minutes or so.

    I can take scenes from countless films, splice them together and make this exact movie. Most of you here that have seen it all like I have will be able to predict almost everything this movie has to offer at this very moment. You have seen it dozens of times. Not better, not worse, but all the same. This flick defines mediocrity. It's polished up nice, extremely solid talent in front of the camera (hints at some behind it as well). However in the end this movie is not worth your time.

    4/10
    - Thinking back the entire movie is absurd.
    - Devil worshipers are apparently VERY tech savvy.
    - Tons of questions of WHY????? are buzzing around in my head now.

    There is a scene I have to mention because it truly boggled my mind. It takes this whole found footage spin to a whole new level of absurdity.
    The entire audience laughed during this as did I. I sat with my mouth open and actually said "Seriously?" to a complete stranger sitting next to me.


    Spoiler...
    The husband (at the time he was husband to be) records himself climbing up a drain pipe to his future wife's room just to tell her he wants to record everything from here on out for a video memory of their wedding/marriage.

    pretty much what I figured, and nice to have it verified.

    Not surprising that the audience which consisted mostly of media for reviews is embargoed until tomorrow. Hmmm, wonder why
