Plot Summary

A newly married couple on their honeymoon in the Dominican Republic finds themselves the target of a mysterious force after a strange ritual. The wife begins to exhibit increasingly disturbing behavior, leading them to suspect a demonic possession. They must race against time to uncover the truth before it's too late.

Critical Reception

Devil's Due received generally negative reviews from critics, who found its found-footage approach unoriginal and its scares predictable. Audiences were somewhat more receptive, appreciating the tension and some of the disturbing imagery, but it was largely seen as a forgettable entry in the possession subgenre.

What Reviewers Say

  • Relies too heavily on familiar found-footage horror tropes.
  • The scares are often derivative and lack genuine impact.
  • A lack of originality hinders its effectiveness as a horror film.

Google audience: Audience reviews were mixed, with some finding the suspense and premise engaging, while others felt the film was predictable and not scary enough. Many appreciated the performances, particularly Allison Miller's portrayal of the possessed wife, but felt the execution fell short.

Fun Fact

The film was shot entirely using the found-footage style, with much of the footage appearing to be recorded by the characters themselves on various devices.
