I hadn't heard about this 2012 movie titled "Devoured" from writer Marc Landau and director Greg Olliver prior to stumbling upon it by random chance here in 2024. I have to say that I was initially intrigued by the movie's cover, and with it being a movie that I had never seen (or heard about), of course I opted to sit down and watch it.
The storyline in the movie was slow paced. Half an hour into the movie and nothing interesting or worthwhile had happened, and that made for a very slow paced and boring narrative. And I have to admit that I was struggling with finding the will to keep watching the movie, because it just didn't appeal to me.
I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, but it should be noted that leading actress Marta Milans (playing Lourdes) definitely carried the movie quite well, despite the fact of having next to nothing to work with in terms of an interesting script, character gallery and dialogue.
"Devoured" was a swing and a miss of a movie in terms of it entertaining me. And this is definitely not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on.
My rating of "Devoured" lands on a very generous three out of ten stars.
