The Device

Looked interesting and sounded a promising storyline, however that's where it ended i'm afraid. Poor unconvincing acting, terrible story, laughable alien ( i mean really ) even with a low budget movie some half decent effects and make up could have made this half entertaining. No real energy or drama in the film. It just felt empty and left you wishing back the time you had wasted watching to the end with the hope of something good happening which sadly just doesn't come... Not familiar with the actors but the just didn't seem to really care or show much emotion nor do I feel concerned or worried about their well being or even think they deserved whats coming to them either!

My advice watch something else !

Two sisters and the husband of one of the women go to a cabin to help the younger sister overcome a past trauma. Whilst there they find an alien artifact and proceed to mess about with it because it might be worth some money. The older sister is then plagued by a dream in which an Alien interferes with her. The Alien itself is a man in a cheap Halloween mask.

Now at one point a character says this is like an X-files story but its not because the X-files was good. This is a three hander with adequate performances and is well shot but ultimately it is quite boring. There's no big sci fi questions posed and no horror either. Give it a miss.

Let's start by saying this movie is really bad! The acting is poor, I was so upset.. None of the 3 main actors can't act! The whole script felt short! The cover of the movie has nothing to do with the context in it! The whole movie is about a black ball and a tall mucus looking alien that does nothing but bring lots of light in dreams .. I was waiting for something to happen but it never did! I don't understand how this is a horror movie! There is no horror at all not even comedy that's whats sad! The whole thing is about 2 sisters whom haven't seen or talk to each other in 12 years, go all the way to a cabin, find a black ball and weird dreams ! I actually fasforward the movie a couple of times, that's how bored it got!! Save yourself from this nightmare... This movie failed the alien theme... No alien at all just a black ball!

After reading the synopsis, if you can just imagine all of the other alien abduction films or stories that you have seen, then you've seen The Device. Nothing new, nothing chilling or frightening, just a replay of the same story with a few different visuals. Acting wasn't bad but they couldn't save the film.

This movie had a lot of potential for a unique storyline, however it skipped past all that and went straight to basic. I watched this movie because the premise of a random device being found seemed interesting, but that in the end was the only reason to watch. I just wanted to find out what exactly it was so I could stop watching.

Visually the movie was great, good shots good flow, great editing. Good music even. The acting wasn't amazing, but it wasn't exactly terrible either. The two sisters I felt were quite good.

Overall I would avoid this movie, between a super predictable plot and a slow moving story, this movie is a dull feature I would avoid.
