Devoured (2012)
4/10
Should Have Been a TV Episode.
20 February 2024
The basic story is a Hispanic woman is working in the US to raise money for an operation to save her sons life. Her son is with her mother back in their home country. She works as a cleaner/Waitress in a small restaurant, where her boss and the chef are relentless unpleasant to her for some reason. A few weird things start to happen around the workplace. Things moving on their own, things glimpsed out the corner of her eye, the usual fare. Every night she calls her mother and speaks with her mum, although her mother becomes reluctant to let her.

Their are really only 3 actors, the main one being on screen for 95% of the movie. Thankfully she does a convincing job. The other 2 are the owner manager lady and the chef are decent enough.

My main issue with the movie is it is very repetitive. Lady goes to work, staff are mean to her, something weird happens, she calls her mum, then goes home and dreams. This happens 3 or 4 times in the movie and never advances the story much further.

There is, of course, a twist at the end, but if you don't see it coming you really need to watch more horror movies.

If they could edit out all the crap and repeated scenes, it would have made a fairly decent half hour TV episode.
