Review of Devil's Due (2014) by Dan H — 20 Jan 2014
The two main leads (Allison Miller and Zach Gilford) are very likable and believable in their roles (I totally bought them as a married couple and they definitely seemed to be in love, Allison is also super beautiful and hot in it, and I like that Zach figures out what's going on and tries to stop it in the end.
...a nice deviation from the normal dumb leading male stereotype in found footage). It was nice to find myself actively rooting for these two to make it out of the predicament ok. That said, the two leads really are all this film has going for it.
It follows every possession film cliche in very obvious ways (at least it doesn't rely as heavily on jump scares as you think it would, although the film is never ever scary). The only good parts in this film are the deer scene and the ending.
It also doesn't help that the film is kind of scattershot(however it doesn't rely on shaky cam all that much, so that's nice). I do love Radio Silence (the name of the group that put this film together), and they clearly have some talent but Devil's Due, while not particularly awful, isn't really any good either.
It's just ok. I will say it's worth a rental, maybe a purchase on DVD if you are at all interested, but there is no reason to run to theaters to see this one.
