First movie rec of the week!

Devour (2005)

Genre: Horror/Psychological Thriller

Rating: R

(My) Rating: 7/10

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

(Let’s pretend that’s 3 1/2 stars)

Gore: Mild

[Trigger warnings at the bottom]

Summary:

Jake is a college student who’s been having these strange dream-like visions. On his birthday, he goes to a party with his friends, where one of his friends, Conrad, signs him up for this game called ‘The Pathway’. Conrad says that the game will call him and give him tasks to complete. However, the game is not what it seems.

As the story unfolds, the movie turns into more of a religious horror [If you’re not comfortable with this genre, then you should probably skip this movie]

The plot twist is INSANE but the ending sort of brings up the question the viewer is wondering… Is it all in his head or was it the work of evil? I really love that they throw that thought in your face because it kind of forces you to think about the fine line between insanity and the supernatural.

Overall, it’s a really awesome movie and I will definitely be watching again. Plus it’s got Jensen Ackles in it and who doesn’t want to see him?

I’m going to add supernatural as a tag since I know the supernatural lovers who like Jensen Ackles are gonna wanna see this. (SPOILER- ish? There’s a sex scene between him and a friend and he’s moaning/whimpering, so I know damn well YOU want to watch that.)

Warnings: Religious horror, mild gore, mentions of rape/attempted rape (by a parents and by a professor), drug usage, devil worshipping (Should that be a warning? Idk), and of course a decent amount of deaths.

Let me know if you have any movies that I should look into! :)
