MOVIE REVIEW - Devil's Due

I can here the old blues song in the background, "Here we go...again..."   Guess what? We have another 90 minute demonic possession movie, Devil's Due out this week.

Oh, and guess what again?  We have yet another hand held, point of view camera filmed thing.  You know when the people in the movie are actually filming the whole thing?  And this may shock you, it's another young, attractive newly married couple finding themselves in a demonic situation and for some reason they continue to film the entire thing.   Silly?  Yes.

This young couple gets married and go on a honeymoon deep in the Caribbean.  On the final night of their trip they end up going on a cab ride and end up at some awful underground club and have way too much to drink.  The wife, Samantha ends up in some demonic area and passed out.  The next morning the couple finds themselves back in their hotel room.

As they come back home, Samantha turns up pregnant.   But it becomes clear quickly that it is not her husbands baby.   She is carrying the anti-Christ.  And some underground group becomes involved by ensuring that nothing is going to get in the way of this pregnancy.  They set up hidden cameras in the couples house, and are controlling their environment without the couples knowledge.  So, will Samantha actually give birth to the anti-Christ?  That is Devil's Due.

It is safe to say, there is not one, not ONE shred of originality to this.  There are lots of bumps and bangs.   There is also the obligatory devil sounds, the killing and eating of animals, even the old and tired "family dog" knows there is something wrong with Samantha long before they do.  This style of movie making, the script, the acting, the herky jerky camera thing, makes this look like about a dozen other movies over the past few years.  And it is so predictable and unoriginal, it is of course not at all scary.   But it is set up for more depending on its success here.

Devil's Due.   It's not anything really.  A completely wasted hour and half.
