~Spoiler~
That's what I kept repeating to myself during the course of this movie. Devour (which should have been titled The Pathway, or Brainscan 2: Electric Boogaloo) is another flick where the devil is reaching out to people through a computer. If you've seen Brainscan you can pretty much avoid this movie. It has about the same premise. A computer game called The Pathway is messing with people's minds and causing them to commit brutal slayings and then some self-mutilation. If this plot isn't radical enough, it turns out the game is merely a tool to search for a chosen child. I guess the devil watched The Last Starfighter. The only good things I have to say come from the acting. The film features quite a few up and comers for a straight to video flick. Jensen Ackles is in the lead, and Dominique Swain and Shannyn Sossamon are nice to look at. William Sadler is completely wasted, however. Devour also has one of the stupidest endings I've seen a while. Not every movie needs a "twist" ending.
