Predictable and silly, this badly acted found footage foray feels like it was thought up by people drinking beer on a back porch and then shot over a weekend. There's a vaguely organized demonology mythos that borrows from a raft of movies with a nod toward Christian theology that doesn't exactly follow church doctrine. It even has a 1950s matinee gimmick ending, which will leave you feeling SPOOKY! Or not. Mostly likely not.

Unfortunately, I did. This movie should have been straight to youtube, not even DVD. It's that bad. I'll give you a few examples and you decide.First few minutes into the movie, the paranormal investigators enter the haunted house and soon blood starts dripping on the walls. Our characters look at it as if it is something people see on a daily basis. That moment I understood how bad this movie was going to be.Most situations the characters encounter are not realistic at all, making the movie look like ridiculous rather than scary. The movie keeps giving you the message "If you watch this footage you will die" becomes very annoying because it is not subtle. The characters keep saying this to the camera for about three or four times assuming we all are a bunch of idiots.Nobody in their right mind would go down to a pitch black basement alone, just five minutes after one of their friends gauge their own eyeballs right in front of them.I could go on and on but you get the point. If you want to waste your time on a flick that feels like a high school acting project, then by all means go for it.

I only heard of this movie, seconds before I watched it, I had no idea what the plot of the movie was and I did not see the trailer. The end result , I felt a little creep-ed out at the end of the movie, it's another one of those found footage movies.I really enjoyed, it dose really make you want to jump or anything but he dose want to creep YOU! out, there also some bloody moments in this movie. which I also really enjoyed. In some scenes, its actually tell you not to watch the rest of the movie, so the evil force in the movie, won't find YOU!. (Oh no, I just broke the rule of the movie).The lead actor did seem a bit wooden at the start of the movie but he got better as the movie went one, it didn't he really bother me and rest of actor was decent and watch able.I found the movie flowed really well, it dose not drag at all and I didn't find the movie boring at all. 7 out of 10 I thought this movie was really good, I had fun watching.

Chasing the Devil is yet another film in the "found footage" horror genre, but instead of being content with telling a simple ghost story, it tries to combine elements from several other successful films. There's bump-in-the-night spooky stuff caught on camera AND paranormal investigators AND possessed teenage girls AND the possessions are like a virus that can jump from person to person AND anybody who's ever watched the video has died horribly.Sounds pretty exciting! Sounds like an action-packed adventure! Well, it's not. Incredibly, despite jamming all these ideas into one film, Chasing the Devil is an amazingly boring movie. The best hand-held cam/found footage movies are the ones that show us enough to be freaked out, but not so much that it looks like the low-budget production it actually is. Unfortunately, Chasing the Devil shows us too much of what little they had to work with. For example, there's a lot more blood in this movie than one usually sees in "paranormal investigation" type films, but this only serves to make the film ridiculous. One character gouges out his own eyes with his fingers and then instantly dies, blood spurting as though he also nicked his carotid artery while digging around in his sockets.The characters are flat, completely forgettable and basically interchangeable. The only one who makes even a slight impact is the typical "chubby comic relief" guy, whose "jokes" are loud sarcastic comments about things we just saw and about how the hot girl will never have sex with him. Nothing in the film is genuinely scary at all, and there aren't even many cheap scares like sudden loud noises to make us pay attention. The effects are bad and simply lazy. We're supposed to believe that the DEVIL, not a simple demon or naughty spirit, but Satan HIMSELF is running the show - and the worst he can do is make people have deep voices, flicker the lights, and make the cameras go a bit fuzzy. He doesn't even throw any furniture around or make the possessed people twist into freaky positions! I refuse to believe that Mephistopheles is that unimaginative.There are numerous problems within the film that make the premise extremely unbelievable, and it never lets us forget for even a second that we are watching a cheap horror film. The worst example of this is when characters broke the fourth wall, which happened several times.Overall, a very dull movie. Not even much good as a guilty pleasure afternoon time-waster.
