Devil's Due (2014)
4/10
Yet another found footage horror movie that wasn't scary. It's almost time for this genre to stop. Hell Baby was much better.
28 March 2014
"Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming." While on their honeymoon Samantha (Miller) and Zach (Gilford) decide to go out clubbing and end up drinking more then planned and some of their trip is fuzzy. When they return home they are both surprised and excited when they find out Samantha is pregnant. What starts off as something happy begins to change when Samantha begins to act strangely. As I have said many times I try to watch as many movies as I can without seeing the previews first. I did that with this one and was very disappointed when I found out it was another found footage movie. That type of horror movie worked with the Blair Witch Project because it was new and everyone thought that it was real. To a lesser extent it also worked for the first Paranormal Activity because again at that time it was still new. Now that every other horror comes like this the "realism" is lost and just becomes more annoying then anything. Found footage aside there are many other problems with the movie. The first 20 minutes feels like someone forcing you to watch their bad home movies. It never really gets much more exciting then that. On a side note the movie Hell Baby which was a comedic version of this subject was much better then this one. Overall, yet another found footage horror movie that wasn't scary. It's almost time for this genre to stop. I give this a C.
