Als das Spiel seine beängstigenden Tagträume in erschreckende Wirklichkeit verwandelt, erwachen Jakes blutrünstige Visionen zum Leben. In der Hoffnung, diesem lebendigen Alptraum zu entkommen, wendet er sich an Marisol (Shannyn Sossamon, "Ritter aus Leidenschaft"), eine verführerische neue Freundin mit einem ausgeprägten Interesse am Okkulten.

Mit dem Streifen hatte ich mich auch kurzzeitig mal befasst, doch nach durchweg miesen Kritiken und dem nicht gerade überzeugenden Trailer bin ich davon abgekommen...

Devour was supposed to be a theatrical horror flick but never
made it to the big screen and had to settle for a direct to
DVD release. At first I didn't really understand why they did
this since the movie looks very high budget but after about
10 minutes I realized that the budget was the only good thing
about this so called horror flick. Devour really is more of a
teen thriller in the vein of "Disturbing Behaviour" than a
horror flick. It would probably have worked back in the 90s
but this is the 21st century and this movie does not belong
here. The story revolves around nothing really, it's badly put
together and you're always on the edge of falling asleep, even
in the pathetic climax.

TV director David Winkler might have had the budget to shoot
this movie but it's obvious that he didn't have the skills.
The movie looks, just as I said, good at the first glimpse
but if you look a bit closer it looks more like a Halloween
special of Dawson's Creek than a professionally shot thriller.
The acting is pretty strong though with a solid cast and I
would actually have to say that it's the actors that keeps
this movie from becoming a complete snooze fest. They know
what they're doing on screen and they try to bring the movie
up a notch as good as they can. Sadly for them, it really was
in vein, a strong cast didn't save this movie from becoming
a disaster. The story was just too bad and unoriginal.

I'm not a big fan of movies like "Disturbing Behaviour" so
it really doesn't come as a big surprise that I didn't like
this, I mean, you can tell just by looking at the trailer
that this is more of a teen thriller than a horror flick.
But no matter how dull this is, I managed to stay awake
through the entire thing and I can honestly say that I think
that anyone who likes these kind of movies will love this
one as it is cliché filled and unoriginal as hell. For fans
of "Disturbing Behaviour", it really doesn't get a whole
lot better than this (and if anyone quotes me on that I will
personally see to it that they watch this terrible movie,
because that is punishment enough).

Devour is your averagely bad teen thriller, without a slasher.
No suspense, no scares and no story. This is a movie that you
should only see if you liked "Disturbing Behaviour", because
if you didn't like that one, you will simply hate this one so
get the DVD and start devouring!
