misscath-54378 I will never understand how someone can rate this a 1, unless you have the attention span of a flea. I liked the main character, she was sad and vulnerable and I thought the acting was pretty good. It isn't straight horror, more like part ghost story, part thriller. It kept my attention throughout. It's not the happiest movie, quite depressing actually but well made.

ihearthorrorfilm Talk about an emotional mind f@$k! Wow! I had my doubts when I pulled up 'Devoured' on IMDb. I saw the current rating at 4.7 and that the Director, Greg Olliver, has only made documentaries and this film is his first full-length feature. I figured there was no way this film would be good, let alone, scary. Couldn't have been more wrong! I'm totally blown away by this beautifully, depressing horror film. First off, the cinematography and direction is absolutely stunning. The film forces you from the very start to sympathize and feel so much compassion for the lead who, by the way, is a fantastically talented actress. The way the first opening scene goes down, you are prepared for the end, but ultimately are pulled in by the main character's struggle. The genius part about it all is that you are so broken down by her life that every single scary moment is terrifying and stressfully confusing. I am still overwhelmed by what an emotional roller coaster this film is. Going from sad to scared to angry, then back to sad, scared and confused. Chilling, depressing, beautiful, dark and clever, 'Devoured' is a film that I will gladly file under art-house horror. This film is for the sophisticated horror connoisseur that has a palate for artistic direction and a hunger for hauntingly disturbing images. BRAVO!Please like me on Facebook!

This is my honest opinion. I watch every and all films associated within the horror genre and always give my unbiased opinion. I am all about celebrating people's love for horror and do not tolerate unnecessary film bashing.

markastzm As a "true" horror fan, this one is so damn, very, very, bloody, bloody awful. I found it difficult(impossible) not to fall asleep(3 times, literally) watching this one. The other reviewers are being extremely generous. The camera man and post production people did a good job, I'll say that much. Perhaps, I might rate higher if this had been a fifteen or twenty minute short movie instead of a ninety minute self-absorbed directorial masturbation. I guess it was good for you Mr. Oliver, now will someone finally give me my reach around. I did enjoy your earlier work Lemmy very much, but not enough to forgive you fully for wasting my time here. Think about sticking to documentaries, or maybe getting Wes's help with all your films. This is the type of movie that gives "New York film school style" flicks a bad name. I'm one who loves "New York film school style", but only when done intelligently by those with New York sensibilities, whether born there or not. If I were the professor of a film making class at a university in Texas, and the assignment was to make one of dem stuck up artsy-fartsy hi falootin' movies, I might give this one a better grade than I did here. After reading another reviewer's comments, I would also like to add that I am an enormous fan of Argento's work and this movie has absolutely nothing of the class of any of his works. To make such a comparison is to compare the work of a competent food porn photographer to the work of Manray.

trnjamesbond From the minute I started watching this film I was intrigued, we start with a detective leaning over the body of a woman in her early to mid thirties.(from my guess anyway)Then we watch another detective descend down a flight of stairs of what looks like to be a basement in a restaurant, the female detective moves down a long corridor and then the screen fades to black and the story picks up obviously in the past where the same dead woman is alive and well and is not lying on the floor.She is an immigrant from Mexico who is living and working in New York City to earn enough money to pay for her son's operation who is ill back in her home country. Things start to go a little awry in the restaurant as the film runs on, from things like shadowy figures and to ordinary objects around the restaurant that turn into more sinister things, such things like a garbage bag that looks like there is a body moving inside of it, but not quite, just plain creepy....Well I won't go into too much detail, but I would definitely recommend this for a watch to anyone who loves a great thriller and just a well balanced abstract at times tale. I wish I would of ran across this little gem a little sooner, it was wildly entertaining, and twisted macabre fun. Devour is a quaint little flick that I will definitely remember.
