A frightful night took place when an American supernatural horror film came into theaters on January 17, 2014. Devil’s Due directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, shook the film industry and took horror movies to a whole new level

Devil’s Due is about a young newlywed couple who took a trip to the Dominican Republic for their honeymoon. On their visit, they decide to talk to a fortune teller for fun, but that quickly turns to foreshadowing as the fortune teller states that she had been waiting for them to arrive for a long time.

Several weeks after their interesting honeymoon, Sam, the young women, discovers that she is pregnant. This causes a lot of questioning for she had sworn she took her birth control pill. Although they are confused, this is a very happy moment for the family and they are overjoyed with the news.

The couple later attends their first ultra sound with the news that her baby is healthy and should be delivered on time. Though several weeks later, there seemed to be strange things happening to Sam and the baby such as nosebleeds, stomach bruising, cravings for raw meat, though Sam is a vegetarian. Sam also experienced super-strength and telekinetic abilities and feelings of rage whenever she or the baby is threatened.

As the story progresses the events get stranger and stranger. I thought that this movie was very entertaining but not as scary as the trailers of the movie foretold. A lot happens in the movie and it’s somewhat hard to follow, but creepy and entertaining nonetheless.

The trailers defiantly made Devil’s Due seem like the scariest movie of the year and maybe of all time, but the movie only made me jump once or twice. I was expecting to be scared out of my mind so I was displeased with that fact. But overall, the movie was good.
