2013 Horror Fest: Devoured: 75 Out Of 100 Stars

Devoured is a wonderfully told story that builds nice and slow and makes sweet love to your senses. Helmed almost exclusively by Marta Milans, it steps outside the genre to provide not just a top notch suspense chiller, but a damn fine movie on any level.

I'm not gonna spoil much of the film at all, it's too good to give anything away. But I will say that the pace is slow, so don't go in expecting a slash and chase movie or a monster gore fest, although it does have elements.

Director Greg Olliver, writer Marc Landau, and Milans create a hauntingly atmospheric film that really stands out in a genre too often content with putting in the minimum effort.
