 Written on February 27, 2006 Summary: The Pathway leads to Banality. Ugh, thats all i said at the end of this ughfest of a movie. I didnt understand what the whole point of it was did the devil not want to kill her son? did the guy make all of it up to just kill people, are satanists bad partiers? The premise being this guy jake, plays this "pathway" game with his friends and the pathway does things for them, and you have to pay with your soul, and there are some satanists, and fingers in fries, and dominique swain plays herself (which is a huge psychotic Ho-bag). Apparantly some people who worship Beezlebub were supposed to sacrifice a baby, or not, and people saved the baby and raised it, and now 18 years later this demon wants her baby back (she hates not getting mothers day cards) and the girl who is supposed to play the girlfriend, is the demon mom, and ew there is implied incest. God its confusing, i know, I was bored to death, and maybe a little willing to sell my soul for a good horror movie to watch after this waste of time.  Written on February 21, 2006 Summary: Very Average with some Perks! For a straight to DvD horror it's not that bad.The cast is solid and the production values are decent, but it doesn't offer a whole lot of originality or much else for that matter. Although, the characters and situations remained intresting, the film just seemed to somehow fall apart as time went on.Ultimately the movie ends up being nothing more than the average horror film. The storyline follows Jensen Ackles{WB's Supernatural} character as he's constanly haunted by violent online video game called 'The Pathway'. As the film progresses faimly and friends who also played the game start acting weird and some end up dead, leading us to question whether Jensen is doing these murders or a far more sinister force is behind it. The film has it's fair share of blood and gore, but the dry plot and slow-pacing made the film less than desirable. Overall the film starts out promising, but slowly goes downhill. There's some decent gore and a semi-intresting story if you can get past its fairly slow pace. Worth a rent but I question buying it. Written on September 10, 2005 Summary: Not bad -- but nothing to get excited about Lukewarm pretty much sums this movie up. You won't exactly devour this movie, but it's certainly palatable. By playing it safe at every turn, Devour avoids making glaring mistakes, but it also limits itself from doing anything worth getting excited about. The whole thing is rather formulaic and predictable, so your big payoff at the end consists of little more than a "Yep, knew it" moment. There may be a few elements of very mild suspense, but horror fans won't find much gore here at all - there are a couple of pretty cool deaths, but all we get to see are the staged after-effects. The premise has been done several times before, but I still like it - and I'm still waiting for someone to really get it right. The objective is to take a computer game to the next level, combining fantasy and reality in a way that truly tests the "player" and usually leaves him surrounded by a lot of dead friends and family members. Unlike some similar films, though, Devour doesn't go the way of virtual reality. This particular game revolves around players receiving telephone calls asking them to do things. Actually, the whole game here is pretty darn vague. The callers basically just criticize the players' weaknesses in an obvious attempt to make them commit dastardly deeds - particularly acts of vengeance against those who have wronged them. The only thing resembling a twist here is the fact that the main character, Jake Cummings (Jensen Ackles), is already prone to waking nightmares. Once he starts playing the game, Jake begins having increasingly violent, waking nightmares of murder and self-mutilation. Then those around him begin dying in unusual, suspicious, apparently painful ways. Jake doesn't seem too distraught over anything, but that's mainly because Jensen Ackles has only one facial expression in his repertoire (dazed confusion) - and because he has a brand new girlfriend, Marisol (Shannyn Sossamon), to comfort him. After attending a few funerals, Jake comes to believe (in a rather substantial logical leap) that Satan is using the game to possess its players. By this time, we've all learned enough to see exactly where this whole thing is going, but Jake still has to go through all the paces to get us to the end. There's really nothing surprising or climactic about any of this. The acting isn't bad, the special effects work reasonably well, and the whole look and feel of the film are perfectly satisfactory - there's just no pizzazz. Devour takes no risks, so you're never really emotionally invested in anything that happens. Defensive moviemaking may guard against glaring weaknesses, but it inevitably results in a film that lacks energy and excitement. Horror movies that don't take risks can rarely be anything more than mildly entertaining. Written on July 20, 2005 Summary: SQUARELY IN THE MIDDLE ON THIS ONE Another reviewer commented that this was the worst movie ever made...I can only assume he has NOT seen many movies as I could name about a hundred worse movies without breaking a sweat. That's not to say Devour is good, it's just not awful. Jensen Ackles (Of Smallville) is Jake, a young college guy who suffers from waking nightmares. He's haunted by something he saw or found in the woods in these nightmares. His buddies include a goof off pothead named Martin and a sexually agressive waitress named Dakota who may...or may not be Jake's Girlfriend. They turn Jake onto an internet game called "The pathway". In a sort of Fear [...] way this game knows everything about its players and calls them on the phone and tells them to do things...or gives advice on taking control of thier lives. When Jake is fired from his job as a PC repair Tech, the place where he worked is promptly robbed the next day. The owner blames Jake but security cameras showed the owner and several other men pulling off the crime. It's never explained what really happened though but this is how the pathway helps it's players. Jake's daytime nightmares get more violent as he sees himself murdering his father and mutilating his own body. When Martin is found dead, after shooting an enemy and mutilating himself just how Jake had dreamed he begins delving into just what the pathway is. It's as this point that a fairly decent thriller takes a turn for the worst and degnerates into some schlock about satanic rituals. It all ties together pretty poorly in the end. The performances are pretty good. These young actors are vets of numerous roles and they come off quite capable. Not a bad direct to video film but it could have been so much better with a smarter script.  Written on July 15, 2005 Summary: Watch it a second time. I first watched this movie because Jensen Ackles (You might have seen him on Smallville) is in it. He and the rest of the actors do a great job acting. Also has a great settings (college and log cabin which many people can relate to). But it is a movie you have to watch a second time to really understand it. The first time I watched it I was really kind of confused but watching it again I understood more of what was happening to each character. The ending does leave you hanging with at least one question though (I just don't like it when they do that in movies, unless they are going to have a sequel)(I don't think this is a sequel kind of movie). Overall I thought it was a good movie, great actors, and it does leave you wondering. |
