Devil's Due

"Handi-cam" style? Again? Alright. I'll give it this much, the early "possession" scene was pretty good; not *really* getting to see what happened was arguably better than seeing it. When you get to see what happens, you start to see the holes in it. Aside from that, this is fairly standard. There's not a lot in this movie that you haven't seen before, not to say that there aren't good moments. But almost every formula & convention of the genre is present. Less interesting than it thinks it is.

An excellent attention to detail, actual character arcs, and decent lead to nothing happening in the third act. All that happens is a quick ending. This movie also lacks a unique identity and feels like Rosemary's Paranormal Activity Baby. I guess as a drama suspense/thriller it's barely recommendable but as a horror film it's disappointing.

Devil's Due is obviously meant to be ridiculous, but aside from a couple of effective thrills, this is just another recycled "pregnant with the Devil" story inside another lame attempt at the found-footage concept. You can overlook the plot holes 'cause this film is naturally supposed to be as plausible as grass being purple. However, this film is devoid of any genuine creeps or scares, so what exactly are we left with? Review source: silverscreenfanatic.com

A fairly bland and hacky mishmash of Antichrist baby and found footage horror cliches. Not recommended.

"So we've got our script, ticked all the boxes for a devil baby movie but....I don't think it's all that tedious?" "How about we make it found footage?" "PERFECT!"

Simple and effective. The film moved along quickly, was easy to follow and had very little filler. One of the better found footage films in a tired genre.

Hand held camera constantly shaking around gets pretty annoying. Allison Miller is gorgeous. There are a few nice locations in the beginning. Stupid fortune teller. Random snippets of religious ritual. She eats raw meat, hurts people by getting near them, then starts killing with telekinesis powers. Incomprehensible religion nonsense. A few cool special effects, but it is just too scattered and confused to enjoy. It ends with a preview of another couple about to suffer the same fate. Sheesh!

Unwatchable. Starts abysmally--with the douchiest, smarmiest husband imaginable getting all moist-eyed and promising to protect his new wife "no matter what"--then hurtles even further into the depths after that, growing more and more hackneyed and amateurish and incompetent as it plummets. The kind of movie that mistrusts its audience so completely that it stops every few minutes to explain its ridiculously lame-brained plot to us. Fuck you, DEVIL'S DUE.

Give me a second to explain. As far as a horror movie, this was horrible. It gets a higher rating simply because it had me and my date laughing pretty much the entire time, and no, I don't think it was supposed to be funny. n.n Only saw it cause the projector for I, Frankenstein was broke. >.

Somebody, anybody, for the love of God, please, ban horror movies shot with handheld cams!! Enough is enough."

The birth of a new anti-christ happens before our eyes - THE START OF A BRAND NEW HOME FOOTAGE FRANCHISE! The first of im assuming many is so incredibly boring until around the final 15 minutes where something (which isnt in the trailer) actually happens! At 1 point the camera 'not shaking' looks at some decking which was a personal highlight! Dont recommend, its rubbish!

Remember how Rosemary's Baby totally sucked? And how we all waited years for someone to make use of that wonderful concept that Polanksi really fucked up? Wouldn't it be awesome if some guys took that conceit and stuck it in a blender with a handheld video camera, the worst bits of Chronicle, and that one guy from the Friday Night Lights who really should have moved on to things that are so much better now? Wouldn't that be an absolutely, 100% necessary, surefire recipe for critical success?

There's no redemption in the end, and no hope. There's only a man falsely imprisoned, his dreams of marital bliss utterly and bizarrely shattered. Oh, and the suffocating suggestion that there's a legion of babies out there who all call the devil daddy. (pluggedin.com)

Films like this are generally going to be compared to Rosemary's Baby, unfavourably, and the "found footage" gimmick did this no favours whatsoever. The film actually feels quite well-made, and Miller is very charming, but it really starts unravelling towards the end, and the handicam stuff gets more and more annoying. There's a couple of good scenes, but much of the credibility the film developed had entirely evaporated by the somewhat ridiculous climax. Bah.

Not a great horror film, but i've seen worse.

A half decent chiller.

Well, not the worst found-footage ever made, but still... You can't just reenact Rosemary's Baby with handheld tricks and think people will just easilly buy it.

Devil's Due, the bio-pic about the birth of the Director of this film, because let's be honest... only the Anti-Christ can make a film this bad. OK, I'm being a bit harsh... but can the found-footage horror genre die already? Do they still make camcorders? Of course, I guess the logical next step is to film these with iPhones. Once again you hear the film explain 666 times why the characters are holding cameras the whole time...

Kilka zgrabnych scen, cala reszta nudna.

Another found footage stinker. God this was awful
