An unexpected pregnancy takes a terrifying turn for newlyweds Zach and Samantha McCall.

Reviews
Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
Pumpkin_Man I rented this from the video store and I gotta say I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I'm usually iffy about found footage type horror movies. I might even buy it on blu-ray someday. I'm surprised to see it has much low ratings. A newly married couple named Zach and Samantha McCall decide to spend their honeymoon in the Dominican Republic. A Taxi driver takes them to a 'party' where they are drugged and we see a cult performing a Satanic ritual on Sam. When they get back home, Sam notices that she's pregnant. During the pregnancy, Sam is acting a lot more unusual than a hormonal woman. She has supernatural strength, eats raw meat and carves a symbol in the baby's room. Zach watches all the footage and becomes worried he's dealing with a demonic presence. If you love found footage and Satanic pregnancies, you'll love DEVIL'S DUE!!!
Leofwine_draca DEVIL'S DUE is another 'devil baby' movie, albeit one with a slightly left-of-centre twist: this one's a found footage reworking of the same storyline as in ROSEMARY'S BABY. The familiarity of the material means that it's something of a bore to sit through.The film isn't strictly found footage in that the camera-work isn't supposedly taken from characters using video cameras and the like; instead, the ever-present camera shoots in a documentary style. The actors are to be commended for giving naturalistic performances, and there are some decent shock sequences, particularly one involving a local vicar.It's just a shame, then, that the film has such a jaded feel to it and the premise is so hackneyed. The shake-all-over-the-place climax is particularly nauseating, and not in a good way. DEVIL'S DUE has potential but in the end the indifferent execution makes it a bit of a joyless chore to sit through.
indiedavid Sometimes really bad concepts/films get funded by a fluke. However, they rarely get a distribution deal. Somehow, this horrible, amateur piece of crap managed to achieve both tasks. The cinematography is by far, the worst I have ever seen in a film with a budget over $100k. I felt embarrassed for everybody involved in this project but especially for the cast. They made a really good effort and I can only presume they protested against the contrived dialogue and forced scenarios where they had to ad lib but the Director must have been a jackass and didn't listen to them. Please don't encourage the cable networks to buy other pieces of crap like "Devil's Due" by watching it. I turned it off after 45 minutes due to the dizziness caused by the horrible camera work.
thesar-2 You know, since Found Footage hasn't been remotely interesting or fresh since 1999, and yet, they continue to lazily ship out these terribly cheap and extra-long YouTube films, I'd like to see a movie involving the editing process from some who actually finds the footage and splices it together. It would be an interesting and fresh perspective on the tired genre as our hero has to go collect all the impossible footage, from the victims to the cameras in stores, on streets and sometimes even cop cars/interrogation rooms.Until then, we'll just continue getting crap like Devil's Due.So sad how little effort they put into this. Wait, let me retract…they did spend a lot of time watching every single other found footage and supernatural movie to steal from. Most found footage movies are already unoriginal but this one really takes the prize for almost an entire movie of ripped off ideas.It's no secret that I also don't favor supernatural films much and they never, ever scare me. Worse, they continue to be progressively less creepy with each film. By the climax of this film, I was so uninterested, so bored, the "shockfest" of objects and people being forced about was just a yawn. Not only have we all seen it all before, it's just routine by now. What's the synopsis? Well, Rosemary's Baby but with countless people who have cameras that desperately hold onto them as if they were parachutes to a skydiver.I understand these films cost under ten dollars to make, so obviously they're profitable, but please, people, stop supporting this kind of uninspired "art." It's depressing how people are using their gifts of filmmaking to create something this degrading. There is no reason to see this. You will gain nothing from these 90 minutes except for a sore neck from shaking it back and forth so much. * * *Final thoughts: (and these were my initial thoughts when seeing this) Just an FYI, the movie genre of found footage is: filled with plot holes, horribly unoriginal, makes little sense and, worst of all, lazy. I wish it would go away as YouTube is still free and a ton shorter than what "filmmakers" call art when, in reality, it's a very cheap gimmick showing they have zero talent.
