Acting was good and for a found footage it felt it had more quality but where it hurts is the drag... Not much happens in the first 30min... Spoilers ahead... O no random people put a spell on her.. and what she eats raw meat at the super market after 30mins in... I mean I would of hoped for more dramatic scenes earlier ... Big needle in the stomac wtf... Lots of the stuff was pointless ... I mean we get the point shes got an evil baby but nothing builds up it seems.... The what and why seemed pointless and boring... Nothing new to the table... To much mundane life scene, bbq, zip lining, clubing, baby shower, dog jokes, grocerie shopping its just boring... I wish this would add up to a creepy build up but its a bunch of creepy scenes that adds nothing to the characters... I would recommend this for people who are beginning with horror flicks or people who really love those evil pregnancy found footage films... Im 50min in the film 40mins left and o no first comunion scene of I don't know who... Sick priest .. I mean wtf cut the crap... They just took someone boring home videos and added crappy creepy stuff that leads to nothing.... The film also lacks good music... OMFG RED EYES!!!!

Sometimes really bad concepts/films get funded by a fluke. However, they rarely get a distribution deal. Somehow, this horrible, amateur piece of crap managed to achieve both tasks. The cinematography is by far, the worst I have ever seen in a film with a budget over $100k. I felt embarrassed for everybody involved in this project but especially for the cast. They made a really good effort and I can only presume they protested against the contrived dialogue and forced scenarios where they had to ad lib but the Director must have been a jackass and didn't listen to them. Please don't encourage the cable networks to buy other pieces of crap like "Devil's Due" by watching it. I turned it off after 45 minutes due to the dizziness caused by the horrible camera work.

I wish somebody who was connected with this film could explain to me who the hell is supposed to be holding the camera throughout the movie. Who???It's like somebody watched a bunch of well-known horror films and then just mashed them all together with no rhyme or reason. Horrible events occur - with NO FOLLOW-UP WHATSOEVER. This movie was made by people who have absolutely no expectation that anybody with half a brain might see it.I'm not going into specifics so as to not spoil it for anybody (I actually don't think that's possible, though). I highly recommend you avoid this movie. The parts that aren't absurd are totally obvious. I guess the acting is okay for what's its worth. That's why I give it a 2 rather than 1. But this is a stinky one, folks.

After a mysterious, lost night on their honeymoon, Samantha (Allison Miller) & Zach (Zach Gilford) McCall, a newlywed couple, finds themselves dealing with an earlier-than-planned pregnancy. While recording everything for posterity, the husband begins to notice odd behavior in his wife that they initially write off to nerves, but, as the months pass, it becomes evident that the dark changes to her body and mind have a much more sinister origin.Devil's Due is another entry into the camera POV genre (it's not really a "lost footage found" movie), but unfortunately it's not really one of the best and it's actually a bit of an alternative take on Rosemary's Baby.The movie starts out well enough, but it doesn't really build up from any point onwards and kind of stays the same throughout. There are moments when you think that things would starts getting better, and the plot would develop more, but unfortunately it doesn't. There are a couple of decent moments in the movie and some mildly freaky scenes, but other than that it's pretty much a big miss.One thing that didn't sit well with me was that Zach is recording & documenting everything for posterity, but the very 1st time he actually checks on something is about 6 months into Samantha's pregnancy (a lot of strange happenings have went on prior to this moment). I mean who wouldn't watch back what they have recorded for the previous day? It may be just a little thing, but it's just one thing that irked me.Apart from the few odd moments here and there as I previously mentioned, it's all rather flat and it's a shame because the two directors, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett, had an enjoyable hit with V/H/S but I feel that Devil's Due is a step in the wrong direction for them. Hopefully they have a better hit with their next project.Watchable but nothing to get excited about.
