    Behind the Eight Ball

    What a boring movie. It just drags along. It's one of those movies that the viewer CONSTANTLY checks the time to see how much more they have to watch.

    As for the ENDING ? You'll get no spoiler about that from me. But I assure you, you'd leave a review like this one.

    You'll get more enjoyment by holding a 2.5" Black Eight Ball for the length of this movie.

    Went in Optomisitc, came out utterly bored.

    This movie had a lot of potential for a unique storyline, however it skipped past all that and went straight to basic. I watched this movie because the premise of a random device being found seemed interesting, but that in the end was the only reason to watch. I just wanted to find out what exactly it was so I could stop watching.

    Visually the movie was great, good shots good flow, great editing. Good music even. The acting wasn't amazing, but it wasn't exactly terrible either. The two sisters I felt were quite good.

    Overall I would avoid this movie, between a super predictable plot and a slow moving story, this movie is a dull feature I would avoid.

    Boring!

    Looked interesting and sounded a promising storyline, however that's where it ended i'm afraid. Poor unconvincing acting, terrible story, laughable alien ( i mean really ) even with a low budget movie some half decent effects and make up could have made this half entertaining. No real energy or drama in the film. It just felt empty and left you wishing back the time you had wasted watching to the end with the hope of something good happening which sadly just doesn't come... Not familiar with the actors but the just didn't seem to really care or show much emotion nor do I feel concerned or worried about their well being or even think they deserved whats coming to them either!

    My advice watch something else !

    Predictable, the same story told again.

    After reading the synopsis, if you can just imagine all of the other alien abduction films or stories that you have seen, then you've seen The Device. Nothing new, nothing chilling or frightening, just a replay of the same story with a few different visuals. Acting wasn't bad but they couldn't save the film.

    Feeble motion picture filled with bewilderment

    One thing that sums all up this movie: The trailer is so much better than the actual full length. Not kidding!

    Cast: Not bad.

    Music: Somewhat good.

    Effects: Not good, but not awful either.

    Plot: Three people encounter a strange device while in a secluded forest cabin. They touch it and ultimately they start to get feeling strange and deviated. (Humm...awkward)

    The plot is very predictable, there are clichés everywhere, the pacing of the film blows away the narrative into an incoherent and confusing chaos.

    The whole film seems an unfinished puzzle until the very end as if the viewer is meant to be thrown into a spiraling and awkward, ambiguous conclusion.

    For fervent sci-fi fans this flick could be enjoying. For me it was just like watching a mundane and humdrum bizarre story to be rapidly forgotten as soon the movie rolls its ending credits.

    • Goofs
      At least 5 or 6 times there were background noises that didn't match the actors or situations, like rustling and doors closing, as if crew sounds weren't muted. Some obvious examples were at the doctor's house (1:11:00) and with the sister and husband talking (1:14:00).
