So, I got a screening copy of this film a few days ago. The story wasn't bad. The script was a little silly. the acting was a mix of really good and somewhat poor. my big complaint with this movie is that a lot of people die but most of them are killed in the classic horror fashion-lots of screaming and some blood spray but really you don't get to watch them die, and lets face it that is what we watch movies like this for-now getting on towards the end there are some really good death scenes as well as some very well choreographed fights which is what made the movie.

If only the whole movie had the quality of the end it would have been an easy 7 or 8 out of ten. What I fail to understand about a lot of horror movies is the way they so often don't actually show the people dieing...I just don't get it..

First review on IMDb. This one pretty much barks at the moon. Some of the most wretched acting I have seen even in a B flick. I think it's pretty obvious this must have been some film and media course's class project, and like almost all such, they elected to make a horror movie because it doesn't require a lot of sets and props, costume, etc.

Now, to be fair, I've seen some of these class-project horror flicks that were passable first attempts. This wasn't one of them. There was one refreshing new face, Kristy Vaughan, who actually LOOKS and SPEAKS like a high school girl instead of a twenty-something starlet in a cheerleader costume, but frankly that was this flick's only redeeming feature. To add insult to injury, towards the end they apparently decided (correctly) that making a horror movie was a lost cause, and so they switched to making a martial arts film.

To be frank, I think this entire crew other than the Vaughan girl needs to think about real estate or fast food management as a career.

When the Canyon High School reopens under the administration of Mr. and Mrs. Walker, the students recall Devon Anderson (Reza Bahador), a boy that killed his parents and vanished. On the first day of class, there is double homicide and Symphony (Karan Ashley), her boyfriend Craig (Jonathan Cruz) and her friends Josh (Johnny Yong Bosch) and Genesis (Kristy Vaughn) believe that Bloody Devon is back, but the police believe in a copycat. The sensationalist reporter Miller also attributes the murder to Devon. But Devon is really back with his baseball golf and he wants to play killing people.

"Devon's Ghost: Legend of the Bloody Boy" is awfully ridiculous, actually the "perfect" bad movie since everything is terrible. I usually like low-budget and independent movies, but this flick is among the worse ones I have ever seen. The title refers to a ghost, but there is no ghost in the story. The silly and uninteresting screenplay is flawed, with the most unreasonable situations, terrible lines, using clichés and characters that stumble and cry instead of running away or defend themselves. The direction is poor and the acting is weak, but most of the actors and actresses are young and will certainly have chance to improve their performances in another film. The cinematography and lighting are cheesy. My vote is one (awful).

Title (Brazil): "Caçada Sangrenta" ("Bloody Hunting")

This was one of the worst movies I have seen in quite some time. The acting was terrible, the plot line (if you call it that) was predictable and had me on the edge of walking out. It seemed as though the makers of this, I guess you would call it a movie, read the book "horror movies for dummies" and took all the bad horror movie stereotypes it could find and used them. Including the old "haven't you seen a horror movie" line. Obviously, the makers of this movie had not. This was more of a slasher movie than a horror movie, and I found the plot holes in it wide enough to drive an eighteen wheeler through. I would suggest you avoid this movie.

Devon's Ghost: Legend Of The Bloody Boy had potential to be a pretty good "B" horror movie. Instead, what we got was a movie full of atrocious acting and a director who seemed too afraid to get down and dirty with the slashing. Devon (Reza Bahador) could have used a little bit of work as well. He came off as a ticked off Yankees fan rather than the star of a horror movie. The box-cover looked good with the baseball theme and the bat with a saw-blade attached to it. That is really what attracted me to this movie in the first place, but truly failed to deliver when it counted.

The plot was somewhat muddy and clouded, but in general, it seemed that Devon was murdered by his parents. They were eventually acquitted, thanks to a Johnny Cochran type lawyer, who just happens to be the father of Symphony (Karan Ashley). Later, both the parents and the lawyer disappeared without a trace and it is chalked up to the ghost of Devon. Soon after, couples start turning up murdered in a brutal fashion and police wonder whether it is actually the ghost of Devon or some kind of copycat killer.

The worst part of this movie is most definitely the acting. Usually, I can find at least one decent performance but I am sad to say, there was not one here. The worst of which was Kristy Vaughan, who played Genesis. She has absolutely no skill or delivery. I would say she ruined the movie but she was just a drop in the bucket. Johnny Cruz, who played Craig, reminded me of Joseph from King of The Hill, but was not as good an actor.

If I had to find something good about the film, it's best quality is the fight scenes. Skipping over the fact that the "helpless" girl seemed to be somewhat an expert in Kung Fu or something, the fight scenes looked as decent as any other kung fu movie. The sound effects for the fights were bad as well but I do not have the time to nitpick the whole movie. I can not recommend this movie, not even to the hardcore horror "B" Movie fans. 2/10

This movie is possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. It is hard to say anything good about it. I don't know what vent through the minds of the people who made it. The actors, lets face it, just don't do the job and I guess their predictable lines don't help them and furthermore – they just want to get killed, it seems.

The fight scenes look like a comic version of Power Rangers and they just don't cut it.

To top it of the bloody boy in this movie is in no way terrifying and is actually more humorous than anything else. And why does it say Devon on his t-shirt – Com on……

The director has for some reason made this film look like something out of a porn movie and it adds to the borrowing and predictable plot which comes together and makes for a terrible experience.

See this movie if: I can't think of any reason to see it! So if you haven't seen it yet – DON'T!! - Wait ... some of the music is acceptable.

Sorry but whomever said 'this is a great film', should be dragged out into the road and shot. In my time I have been subjected to some pretty awful cinematic offerings, but this rates down there with 'cools as ice'.

What was wrong with the film.

No acting talent.The actors seem to have to remind the audience of the plot every 5 minutes. Which come to think of it, is a good thing as you will have a tendency to dose off every now and then. The plot, well the director obviously thought it was not really necessary for the film.

I would not recommend this film for any of the age group 2-127

First of all, I recommend this movie to no one. Except for people who enjoy this type of bad horror/slasher movies.

Bad acting, weak story and tons and tons of unrealistic events! There's not much more to say, I don't have high standards so take my word for it, this movie will make you regret spending 80 minutes of your life on it. I don't get why just about 12 people has voted "10" on this. That doesn't make any sense at all. I would really like to see a top 20 of their favorite movies.

The only positive thing I can say about this movie (also the reason that it gets a 2 and not a 1). It did win some of my sympathy for the killer in the movie. They use quite an affective way of making the viewer feel a bit sorry for Devon. Other than that.. a very very bad movie.

What a terrible movie. I very rarely run into a horror movie I don't enjoy (classic or new, big budget or independent), but this one was just plain bad (not in a funny bad way either). Terrible acting, super weak writing, and it wasn't scary or suspenseful in the slightest. The plot was very basic and uninteresting, and even then it had some gaping holes. Way too many cheesy flashbacks of the exact same thing over and over again too.

If you're in the video store I recommend you pick up basically anything else, I pretty much guarantee you'll be less disappointed than if you watched this movie. Seriously don't rent it!

While the plot itself was a good one to choose, (although done many times before) the film itself was obviously second-class. A high school is reopened after 10 years since the "Bloody Boy" murders that were left unsolved, and unfolds to become a new set of murders. Acting wasn't great, and the script could have been a lot better. The filming was also second-class, yet some twists in the story unveiled which kept me interested. Personally, I'd recommend it for a slightly younger age group - about 13-15 as it would probably be enjoyed more. I gave it a five because besides the bad acting, the storyline was a good one to follow and kept suspense throughout the film.

This is crap, alright? Total crap.

Badly shot, bad effects, bad story, bad acting, bad everything. There are a couple of scenes that are not totally horrible, but all in all this is boring.

I bought this just out of curiosity, and hoped for the best. Did not deliver the best.

People saying this movie is good are just people in the crew, or people who have not seen any other movies, ever.

It's a good while since I saw this, and I don't remember much. I remember it was a total drag to watch. Not a good sign.

Ratings here on IMDb, are usually pretty safe to go by, but sometimes the rating is totally wrong. In the case of this movie though, you can go by it. Safely.

UK title - "Sawed". Found a second hand copy dirt cheap in a charity shop, liked the cover but also (correctly) guessed that this was going to be cheap and most probably bad. I did check out some of the reviews on here prior to watching this film & at first I thought that they were a little harsh. However, as the movie progressed it just got worse & worse. Acting certainly is not great, though I have seen worse. Devon does wield a pretty cool looking baseball bat & there is a reasonable number of kills. Most, however, are off screen. The continuity is, at times, an utter mess. Perhaps Devon can teleport!? And near the end the makers decided to turn this into martial artist versus the slasher. Oh, and the soundtrack is just awful & so inappropriate at times. Overall, a pretty bad slasher movie, though there are even worse out there!

I had the opportunity to see the premiere of this movie and I really enjoyed it. The main story was good and kept me guessing throughout the movie. The movie is not only scary, but it is full of action and drama. I like it because it is different from most horror movies, but in a good way. This movie kept me on the edge of my seat and had all of the elements to keep my attention throughout the entire movie. It is a fast moving movie, which makes it more exciting to watch. The acting is also really good. The two ex-Power Rangers really made the movie very interesting. It kept me going and guessing from beginning to end. Overall it was a very enjoyable movie. It is like the Fridy the 13th and Holloween movies, but with a different flare and twist to it. It has some really cool kill scenes in it and also some great fight scenes that the two stars have with the killer. If you are a hard core horror movie fan, then I would definitely recommend this movie to you. I recently went to their website and I see it will be out in May, so if you have a chance to see it, do it! I will definitely see it again.

I just watched this movie last night and i have to say good job. I am 15 and I love power rangers and horror films. I would still die to meet one of the original power rangers!!!!!!! I bough this movie and I have to say good job rangers you were really good! Karin and johnny kick some serious butt.They did a great job and I really enjoyed it. It had a good story with a little tiny twist. But I really have to give them props they did a great job. The reason I didn't give it a full ten was because when the serious serious parts of the movie were going on the had the music way to high. But the story was great. Iam now getting my 3 year old nephew into the original power rangers. He really likes them. so once again good job Karan and johnny you did a great job. so go go Devon's ghost!

This movie can be the beginning of some great careers. I believe some have the potential to make it very big. I particularly liked the Genesis character (Kristy Vaughan). She had a unique quality about her that came through on the screen. She has a lot of potential. Obviously, Symphony (Karen Ashley) and Josh (Johnny Yong Bosh) were very skilled as well. Their background in the Power Ranger action show was evident in the movie. I even enjoyed Devon (Reza Bahador). His portrayal of the "villian" was subdued yet scary. This movie avoided some typical over-the-top special effects and instead concentrated on developing the characters. It was not the typical slice and dice movie. I really enjoyed it.

I saw this movie when I was in 4th or 5th grade and loved it. What caught my attention most aside from the saw blade in the bat, was the karate scenes between the two main characters and the killer, then years went by and I forgot about it and I found it again and bought it on DVD.

I can see the reason for the hate. The acting wasn't on point. More back story was needed. And the storyline could've been executed better but besides that, it was a great movie!! Great special effects, great action fight scenes. Which is shocking for a horror movie. And of course we can't forget about the baseball bat with the saw blade in it. Definitely a very creative weapon in the horror world. Better than Negans bat in The Walking Dead.

If the story had some better placement and more back story and was executed better it would have been a box office hit in my opinion.

If you are a horror fan or even a power rangers fan this movie is for you.
