DeVour (2005)

I love this movie so much

Sorry, this movie sucks

Simply Perfect

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

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.

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.

Jake Grey (Jensen Ackles of the hit TV show "Supernatural" and "My Bloody Valentine 3D") gets drawn into a seemingly demonic game called 'the Pathway' that his friends, whom are already addicted to the game, sign him up for it. Now he's stuck on a path that may have disastrous consequences.While you'd be forgiven for thinking this movie would be akin to similarly-themed horror films such as "Brainscan" or "Arcade", the actual plot device of 'the Pathway' game falls into the background (whether this is due to numerous rewrites I don't know) as the film goes in a decidedly different path of demons/possession. This would be fine and all if it was even remotely well-done. It's not. Instead we're 'treated' to a mish-mash of half-baked ideas that are very silly and banally done. Of course screenwriters Adam and Seth Gross would epically fail again with their next film, the much-maligned adaptation of the DOA video game series, but somehow even that disaster was more watchable than this one.Eye Candy: Noelle Reno gets topless and Jenn Griffin shows her assMy Grade: D-Where I saw it: Showtime Beyond

This film has a few bad reviews all over the place. I gave it a chance anyway after being quite intrigued by the plot.The internet game thing isn't for everyone obviously by the other reviews. But i found that this film doesn't completely revolve around that and goes quite deep into the hole satanic ritual world.I'm never gonna be an occultist as the film puts it but yet this film kept you wandering from start to finish and i really thought it ended well. I'm not gonna spoil it for anyone yet to watch it but just give it a chance.Well worth a watch!
