Devil's Due Reviews
Devil’s Due can be seen as a fun, if not flawed first exposure to the abilities of Radio Silence. And, hopefully, somewhere down the line they can revisit the found-footage format.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 8, 2024
Given that this premise doesn't necessarily lend itself to the found-footage genre, the filmmakers make the best out of the format to deliver something largely unexpected.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 20, 2023
The derivative shock-schlock wagon continues to roll on with the dull and unimaginative frightfest Devil's Due, a monotonous hybrid of Rosemary's Baby and Paranormal Activity slammed together in ugly unison.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 11, 2018
Overall, I recommend Devil's Due if you won't mind that the film isn't scary and that it doesn't offer anything new.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 15, 2018
Enduring the non-thrills of Devil's Due makes one thing clear: "Found footage" movies have passed their sell-by date.
| Original Score: D | Nov 29, 2017
Tiresomely and implausibly shot entirely as if found footage, this female-written horror is Rosemary's Baby for the Paranormal Activity generation.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 6, 2017
Devil's Due is the latest entry in the found footage horror genre, and while it does have its fair amount of creative visual effects, the thrills are hardly thrilling in this paint by numbers occult chiller.
| Original Score: 3/10 | Mar 16, 2017
For the most part, Devil's Due unfolds more like a scripted reality series than a horrifying tale.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 28, 2016
Devil's Due, the latest from the filmmaking team known as Radio Silence, is a perfectly serviceable horror movie with some rather neat mythology that unfortunately gets lost in the trappings of its own storytelling format.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 8, 2016
Virtually a found footage remake of Rosemary's Baby, but it's a pretty fun version of that.
| Aug 24, 2015
'Devil's Due' is pretty much a found-footage version of the classic 1968 Roman Polanski movie 'Rosemary's Baby.'
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 21, 2014
A better-than-average found-footage thriller...
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 18, 2014
A cheap rip-off of "Rosemary's Baby" has little in the way of chills.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Feb 10, 2014
A by-the-blueprint Prenatal Activity stalking a boring white couple as Satan's spawn gestates in her womb. But it's the ubiquity of cameras that seems most infernal--is there anywhere a lens won't follow? Forget hell--it's more like eternal HAL.

[T]he small achievement of Devil's Due is how much it both exploits the video-cam approach and overcomes some of its limitations.
| Original Score: 3.0/5 | Jan 31, 2014
When told that space would be tight this week I asked if I could review Devil's Due by simply saying, 'Trust me, folks, this thing sucks a moose.'
| Original Score: .5/5 | Jan 26, 2014
Distressingly locates evil in ethnicity: A scene in which the wife marvels at the lovely 'whiteness' of her nude husband sleeping among snowy sheets seems more troubling than cute after the couple falls victim to dusky satanists in the Dominican Republic.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 24, 2014
"Due" Should Never Have Been Found
| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Jan 23, 2014
It's certainly not the worst of the found-footage subgenre, but it's a far cry from its Sixties- and Seventies-era cinematic inspirations.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 23, 2014
The movie's found-footage conceit never creates a proper atmosphere, something essential to any horror film but particularly one involving the occult.
