Devon's Ghost: Legend of the Bloody Boy

So, I got a screening copy of this film a few days ago. The story wasn't bad. The script was a little silly. the acting was a mix of really good and somewhat poor. my big complaint with this movie is that a lot of people die but most of them are killed in the classic horror fashion-lots of screaming and some blood spray but really you don't get to watch them die, and lets face it that is what we watch movies like this for-now getting on towards the end there are some really good death scenes as well as some very well choreographed fights which is what made the movie.

If only the whole movie had the quality of the end it would have been an easy 7 or 8 out of ten. What I fail to understand about a lot of horror movies is the way they so often don't actually show the people dieing...I just don't get it..

This movie is possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. It is hard to say anything good about it. I don't know what vent through the minds of the people who made it. The actors, lets face it, just don't do the job and I guess their predictable lines don't help them and furthermore – they just want to get killed, it seems.

The fight scenes look like a comic version of Power Rangers and they just don't cut it.

To top it of the bloody boy in this movie is in no way terrifying and is actually more humorous than anything else. And why does it say Devon on his t-shirt – Com on……

The director has for some reason made this film look like something out of a porn movie and it adds to the borrowing and predictable plot which comes together and makes for a terrible experience.

See this movie if: I can't think of any reason to see it! So if you haven't seen it yet – DON'T!! - Wait ... some of the music is acceptable.

When the Canyon High School reopens under the administration of Mr. and Mrs. Walker, the students recall Devon Anderson (Reza Bahador), a boy that killed his parents and vanished. On the first day of class, there is double homicide and Symphony (Karan Ashley), her boyfriend Craig (Jonathan Cruz) and her friends Josh (Johnny Yong Bosch) and Genesis (Kristy Vaughn) believe that Bloody Devon is back, but the police believe in a copycat. The sensationalist reporter Miller also attributes the murder to Devon. But Devon is really back with his baseball golf and he wants to play killing people.

"Devon's Ghost: Legend of the Bloody Boy" is awfully ridiculous, actually the "perfect" bad movie since everything is terrible. I usually like low-budget and independent movies, but this flick is among the worse ones I have ever seen. The title refers to a ghost, but there is no ghost in the story. The silly and uninteresting screenplay is flawed, with the most unreasonable situations, terrible lines, using clichés and characters that stumble and cry instead of running away or defend themselves. The direction is poor and the acting is weak, but most of the actors and actresses are young and will certainly have chance to improve their performances in another film. The cinematography and lighting are cheesy. My vote is one (awful).

Title (Brazil): "Caçada Sangrenta" ("Bloody Hunting")

This is crap, alright? Total crap.

Badly shot, bad effects, bad story, bad acting, bad everything. There are a couple of scenes that are not totally horrible, but all in all this is boring.

I bought this just out of curiosity, and hoped for the best. Did not deliver the best.

People saying this movie is good are just people in the crew, or people who have not seen any other movies, ever.

It's a good while since I saw this, and I don't remember much. I remember it was a total drag to watch. Not a good sign.

Ratings here on IMDb, are usually pretty safe to go by, but sometimes the rating is totally wrong. In the case of this movie though, you can go by it. Safely.

UK title - "Sawed". Found a second hand copy dirt cheap in a charity shop, liked the cover but also (correctly) guessed that this was going to be cheap and most probably bad. I did check out some of the reviews on here prior to watching this film & at first I thought that they were a little harsh. However, as the movie progressed it just got worse & worse. Acting certainly is not great, though I have seen worse. Devon does wield a pretty cool looking baseball bat & there is a reasonable number of kills. Most, however, are off screen. The continuity is, at times, an utter mess. Perhaps Devon can teleport!? And near the end the makers decided to turn this into martial artist versus the slasher. Oh, and the soundtrack is just awful & so inappropriate at times. Overall, a pretty bad slasher movie, though there are even worse out there!
