Devon

HER 10 STAR RATINGS ARE PAID, MOVIE WAS THE WORST EVER, EVRYONE WAS PAID ON JS TO SAY HOW GOOD IT WAS, CHECK THE ONLINE RATINGS.....WORST MOVIE EVER!! I CAME IN WITH OPEN EXPECTAIONS BEING NOT A HUGE JS FAN, AND LOVE FOR HORROR FLICKS BUT DAMN, WAS WORST I SEEN IN A VERY LONG TIME, ABD YES IN ALL CAPS THAT IS HOW BAD!!

While so excited to watch a jwow movie that she has spoken about , I guess I missed the point . I was completely disappointed.. one you can't see anything it's always dark .. all you hear is screams and people using their cameras .. the moving of the actors gives you Blair witch motion sickness.. the story makes no sense in my opinion. And the one character is reminiscent of hell house at the end .

I actually watched it 3x hoping I missed something but it just keeps getting worse. I think if they had more lighting .. and more drama they could have made it better.

And if they stayed with the original storyline it may have been a better show.

While I had never heard about the 2024 horror movie "Devon", from writer and director Jenni Farley, it was of course a movie I would sit down to watch, given my love of the horror genre.

Right, well had I known that the movie "Devon" was a movie that was shot almost exclusively on handheld camera, I would never have glanced at it twice. I absolutely loathe movies that are filmed with laughable, questionable handheld camera, it does not feel professional at all when it is something anyone could just do, and it absolutely removes from the overall enjoyment of the movie for me.

The storyline in the movie was nothing outstanding. Writer Jenni Farley didn't bring anything new to the horror genre. And truth be told, I was not the least bit entertained throughout the 72 minutes of sheer boredom that was the handheld garbage heap known as "Devon". Sure, if you enjoy movies such as "The Blair Witch Project", which I obviously don't, then you might actually find some enjoyment in "Devon".

The movie has a very small cast ensemble, and it was entirely actors and actresses that I had never seen before. While that is usually something I enjoy when I watch a movie, it just didn't really work in "Devon", as I just couldn't take the movie serious, given the pathetic handheld camera style.

"Devon" is not a movie that I will ever watch a second time. Nor is it a movie that I would recommend you to waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us suffered through this dumpster fire of a movie, so you don't have to; you're quite welcome.

Visually, then you're not in for anything grand, in terms of special effects. And unless you consider handheld, shaky camera and questionable camera angles as a work of art, then don't get your hopes up.

How this movie could land a staggering 3.9 rating, its rating right now as I am reviewing the movie, is simply beyond me.

The movie's cover was actually the best thing about the entire ordeal.

My rating of writer and director Jenni Farley's 2024 movie "Devon" lands on a two out of ten stars. This rating is based mostly on the fact that they mustered to actually piece a movie together, and there was some ambition to the storyline, just a shame that the camera thing ruined everything.

Good lord, the stench of this movie. I am a sucker for a good found footage movie. I'll wade through bad ones by the dozen to find a gem. This is not that gem. It is also not your average bad one. This film belongs to a very special group: one of the worst of all time. It works hard to earn that spot. It is so derivative that every frame seems stolen from a better movie. We have the Blair Witch "if I don't make it" speech, Hell House LLC style jump cuts, Grave Encounters pretty much everything. Then there's the alleged acting... I didn't notice until after I finished the movie that JWow from Jersey Store directed this. Let's hope that's a one time thing. This is atrocious and no one should be subjected to it.

I would have given one star if I wasn't already a fan of JWOWW. Maybe that's wrong and maybe I will be more generous with new filmmakers in the future. She is a first time writer and director with a limited budget. But she managed to get some pretty decent talent and seems to have done ok at directing their acting. How much do light bulbs cost? They needed to figure that into the budget. Most of the movie is a black screen. There is literally nothing to see. It's not a bad story and the conversation is pretty realistic. Maybe too realistic in the sense that every word doesn't need to be heard. It needs tightening up. I am looking forward to Jenny's next project.
