Devil's Path

The action scenes after dark are so dark you can't tell who is going after whom. Might as well turn the screen off and guess what is going on by hearing just the soundtrack.

Overall a decent thriller with some good plot twists. As some have said here, these are not always unexpected, but they are generally well handled. I didn't think the dialogue dragged the plot down giving it a slow pace, even if there is some unevenness here and there. Aspects of the ending are bleak, but there are surprises. As in many horror movies, monstrosity breeds monstrosity, whether it is recognized or not. The story could have been clearer in places, but generally worth watching for anyone who likes some darkness in lgbtq films.

Don't be fooled by the terrible poster of this film which seems cheap. This movie has a very good quality with good cinematography, good photography, good sound and good editing. The actors are quite good as well and the story has lots of twists and turns so it keeps being interesting the whole way through. And a plus point for being an LGTBI themed story!! Despite the surprising low ratings, if you enjoy thrillers I would say give it a go!

I am a gay man with no talent. Just opinions. Everything about this movie is major studio quality on an indie budget. Lets start with the actors. Stephen Twardokus as Noah and JD Scalzo as Patrick are the main characters or protagonists as you will see when you watch. They really got into the characters. That brings me to the excellent direction and writing by Mathew Montgomery. This is a story that will catch you up after the first few minutes. Then hold on, the first drop on this rollercoaster is about to start. Then it is one hell of a ride. That will keep you fixated till the last twist. Grab the popcorn and a drink before you tune in. You won't wanna mis a second.

This was a real surprise - good photography, superlative acting from Stephen Twardokus; he stole the whole movie for me. A read a few reviews before i decide to watch a movie but its getting quite hard to garner the proper reviews from the shills but still it astounds me how many people cannot properly review a movie - we now have the shills who are bigging up movies with constant 10/10 reviews - this means its the best movie you have ever seen and these come by once in a blue moon, then there are the ones who just review a movie on the criteria that its not real life or the plot is too bizarre - life is bizarre; going to the cinema is all about being removed from reality; its called fiction. So here is how i review a movie - If it keeps me watching ,involved and i can leave reality behind and become immersed in the film regardless of how unconventional the plot or story is - i don't go looking for mistakes or whether anything is of the period, if the soldiers have the correct jacket lapel or drives the right jeep - who does that? If the movie elicits emotions; a tear or two or makes you feel good, bad or makes you think then that is a success for me and this film does many of those things - it is well shot and in the end it does ask us questions of our lives and how we live them. I found the end very touching and I am sure this is what the writers were attempting to give to the viewer, perhaps from their own experiences of life and that makes it a good movie for me. It is not oscar winning material nor does it pretend to be but it has something more to say than the usual stalk, slash, blood and gore horror movies and i like that so sue me!

About halfway in, I turned the settings on my surround sound speakers off for the dialogue. Without the weird and disjointed plot and script, the cinematography and music were atmospheric and tense. There were a number of scenes that were intense and claustrophobic, and coveyed a very real sense of unease, fear and suspicion. Then I looked up the actual plot. And it was terrible. It really was a shame this movie's story brought the film down. The photography and lighting were pretty good, as was the accompanying soundtrack.

A well made, well acted movie about dirty little secrets and a whole lot more. Great thriller.

Looks can be deceiving and when a gay man on a trail know for gay pick-ups sets his sights on an another guy that rejects him he suddenly has an injury and convinces him to help him which turns into an ordeal. Dialogue is always very stilted and weird. We learn what the main characters deal and issues are. Not a very satisfying conclusion and not horror either. Very unrealistic that he could trick people into chasing them for hours on end into the night. I would think those individuals would have given up and reported it. And completely unbelievable one asthmatic guy could take on two other guys with no weapons. Attempt at suspense but that was even really a let down.

Pretty okay but I expected more actual horror in this. I still find it sad people have ever had to hook up in such an odd way though it's probably how I'd best hookup with someone in all honesty. Not what I was expecting but a good film.
