Andariel Halo sometimes it had fun moments, only to frequently slip and fall on its dumb face with really bad decisions made in shooting or acting or execution. then it devolves into a minor league "The Thing" situation.I would've rated it a 4 or 5 out of 10 if it were just a goofy little thing like this. then at the very end the main character gives a dumb monologue to the camera, addressed directly to Satan. then Satan gives a dumb rebuttal.then, entirely out of nowhere, with absolutely no relation to the film or anything mentioned or implied in the film at all, it shows a picture of Charles Manson, then starts showing pictures of other known serial killers, panning out to show more. Then it starts repeating pictures once it's panned out far enough, maybe trying to cover for the fact that they couldn't think of enough serial killers and so had to keep repeating rows to make it look like a lot.the movie seemed to be implying at the very last moment that all serial killers were possessed by the devil or else part of some mind-numbingly incoherent plan to start the apocalypse

marshall7142 Where to start on this little gem of a movie I found. Of all the "found footage" films being released now days it's nice to find a director and writer that gets it. The filming was done with a lot of hand-held and gopro's they wore on their chest which I thought was a welcome relief to see how the perspective was being shot. Some critics have complained about the sound track or lack thereof but for me it helped immerse me into the story. Another great plus for me is they didn't fall into the let's use lots of CGI we don't have the budget for. They also have a great script and didn't have to use the "Hey lets show T&A so the audience won't notice the plot holes". While you may not recognize the cast as "BIG" names in the genre but all have great resumes on TV and short films. The movie revolves around the 5 main characters played by Challen Cates , Cory Knauf , Tim Phillipps , Ary Katz ,and Chris Yule. First some things I really enjoyed in the movie:The nods to other movies/TV shows. (The Exorcist,Ghost Adventures)The clues were revealed mystery/thriller way so you could actually decipher with the actors/movie. We as the audience were not treated like mindless beings that had to be lead around.Now for the bad: The only problem we had with the film is the actors seemed a little wooden at times in the first half of the movie. Which after you realize thats most likely how real people would react to those surrounding and facing the challenges of fighting the demon with people you just met.***REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS***As the film begins we learn from Patrick that his sisters death was ruled a suicide. Which he won't accept after giving us a little background on his sister (speaking Latin, pentagram cut into her arm) I would tend to agree with him. We also find out whoever he has showed his sisters video blog to has met with some catastrophic event. Patricks friend is a documentary filmmaker and introduces him to a team of paranormal investigators and agrees to film the investigation. The investigators include a psychic, a assistant investigator, and a tech man. They met at the site of his sisters death a halfway house after she had spent 3 years in a mental institution where she was committed after attacking the pope on a class trip. What comes next is a nice little twist on the evil demon film, it has the ability to jump from one person to another on a whim. Most of the meat of the film takes place at Patricks house but after realizing they may become targets of the demon cameras are mounted in everyones residence. The only other location we are treated to is that of a teenage girls house which is creepily reminiscent of the Exorcist and other movies. The entity then starts leaving clues and bodies in his wake. I'll skip all the in between deaths as we all know in found footage movies no one gets out alive.

atinder I only heard of this movie, seconds before I watched it, I had no idea what the plot of the movie was and I did not see the trailer. The end result , I felt a little creep-ed out at the end of the movie, it's another one of those found footage movies.I really enjoyed, it dose really make you want to jump or anything but he dose want to creep YOU! out, there also some bloody moments in this movie. which I also really enjoyed. In some scenes, its actually tell you not to watch the rest of the movie, so the evil force in the movie, won't find YOU!. (Oh no, I just broke the rule of the movie).The lead actor did seem a bit wooden at the start of the movie but he got better as the movie went one, it didn't he really bother me and rest of actor was decent and watch able.I found the movie flowed really well, it dose not drag at all and I didn't find the movie boring at all. 7 out of 10 I thought this movie was really good, I had fun watching.

Chloe Ward Chasing the Devil is yet another film in the "found footage" horror genre, but instead of being content with telling a simple ghost story, it tries to combine elements from several other successful films. There's bump-in-the-night spooky stuff caught on camera AND paranormal investigators AND possessed teenage girls AND the possessions are like a virus that can jump from person to person AND anybody who's ever watched the video has died horribly.Sounds pretty exciting! Sounds like an action-packed adventure! Well, it's not. Incredibly, despite jamming all these ideas into one film, Chasing the Devil is an amazingly boring movie. The best hand-held cam/found footage movies are the ones that show us enough to be freaked out, but not so much that it looks like the low-budget production it actually is. Unfortunately, Chasing the Devil shows us too much of what little they had to work with. For example, there's a lot more blood in this movie than one usually sees in "paranormal investigation" type films, but this only serves to make the film ridiculous. One character gouges out his own eyes with his fingers and then instantly dies, blood spurting as though he also nicked his carotid artery while digging around in his sockets.The characters are flat, completely forgettable and basically interchangeable. The only one who makes even a slight impact is the typical "chubby comic relief" guy, whose "jokes" are loud sarcastic comments about things we just saw and about how the hot girl will never have sex with him. Nothing in the film is genuinely scary at all, and there aren't even many cheap scares like sudden loud noises to make us pay attention. The effects are bad and simply lazy. We're supposed to believe that the DEVIL, not a simple demon or naughty spirit, but Satan HIMSELF is running the show - and the worst he can do is make people have deep voices, flicker the lights, and make the cameras go a bit fuzzy. He doesn't even throw any furniture around or make the possessed people twist into freaky positions! I refuse to believe that Mephistopheles is that unimaginative.There are numerous problems within the film that make the premise extremely unbelievable, and it never lets us forget for even a second that we are watching a cheap horror film. The worst example of this is when characters broke the fourth wall, which happened several times.Overall, a very dull movie. Not even much good as a guilty pleasure afternoon time-waster.
