... View MoreIf you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

... View MoreThis movie is apparently a rip-off of the iconic "Rosemary's Baby". Normally, I don't have prejudices with remakes or rip-offs, but some well-honored and acclaimed films leave no room for that and, when that happens, we quickly find that the new movie is so inferior to the first one that it doesn't justify its existence. It's more or less what happens here. The plot is almost the same: Zach and Samantha are a couple on their honeymoon. However, after a party where both get drunk, Samantha feels she is raped during a satanic cult. On waking, however, they thinks this was a dream, not feeling any mistrust when she becomes pregnant. This will change over the course of her pregnancy, as Samantha takes on a strange behavior. The plot brings little new when compared to the classic film that precedes it and it's clearly inferior in quality. It all seems unrealistic, far-fetched and absurd, which is criminal in a film that had low production budget but a huge budget for advertising. The actors' performance is mediocre. Allison Miller and Zach Gilford are the main actors and they certainly tried to do their best, but the truth is that the material they were given was too bad and they just ended up dropping their characters. Personally, I don't blame them, I blame the directors (Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett) and screenwriter, Lindsay Devlin. The film spends most of its time focused on the changes of the pregnant girl, at a deliberately slow pace that would help create suspense if we didn't predict what would happen so easily, if the ending wasn't so uninteresting and if special effects weren't so basic.
... View MoreI rented this from the video store and I gotta say I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I'm usually iffy about found footage type horror movies. I might even buy it on blu-ray someday. I'm surprised to see it has much low ratings. A newly married couple named Zach and Samantha McCall decide to spend their honeymoon in the Dominican Republic. A Taxi driver takes them to a 'party' where they are drugged and we see a cult performing a Satanic ritual on Sam. When they get back home, Sam notices that she's pregnant. During the pregnancy, Sam is acting a lot more unusual than a hormonal woman. She has supernatural strength, eats raw meat and carves a symbol in the baby's room. Zach watches all the footage and becomes worried he's dealing with a demonic presence. If you love found footage and Satanic pregnancies, you'll love DEVIL'S DUE!!!
... View MoreYou know, since Found Footage hasn't been remotely interesting or fresh since 1999, and yet, they continue to lazily ship out these terribly cheap and extra-long YouTube films, I'd like to see a movie involving the editing process from some who actually finds the footage and splices it together. It would be an interesting and fresh perspective on the tired genre as our hero has to go collect all the impossible footage, from the victims to the cameras in stores, on streets and sometimes even cop cars/interrogation rooms.Until then, we'll just continue getting crap like Devil's Due.So sad how little effort they put into this. Wait, let me retract they did spend a lot of time watching every single other found footage and supernatural movie to steal from. Most found footage movies are already unoriginal but this one really takes the prize for almost an entire movie of ripped off ideas.It's no secret that I also don't favor supernatural films much and they never, ever scare me. Worse, they continue to be progressively less creepy with each film. By the climax of this film, I was so uninterested, so bored, the "shockfest" of objects and people being forced about was just a yawn. Not only have we all seen it all before, it's just routine by now. What's the synopsis? Well, Rosemary's Baby but with countless people who have cameras that desperately hold onto them as if they were parachutes to a skydiver.I understand these films cost under ten dollars to make, so obviously they're profitable, but please, people, stop supporting this kind of uninspired "art." It's depressing how people are using their gifts of filmmaking to create something this degrading. There is no reason to see this. You will gain nothing from these 90 minutes except for a sore neck from shaking it back and forth so much. * * *Final thoughts: (and these were my initial thoughts when seeing this) Just an FYI, the movie genre of found footage is: filled with plot holes, horribly unoriginal, makes little sense and, worst of all, lazy. I wish it would go away as YouTube is still free and a ton shorter than what "filmmakers" call art when, in reality, it's a very cheap gimmick showing they have zero talent.
