Wow...just wow. Every so often I come across a film that actually screams out for me to give it my lowest imdb rating of "3" {which is as low as I go while still trying to give a bit of respect for the work people undertook}.Yep...this one gets a "3"! And boy do I wish I could go lower than that. But no, I will stick by my own guidelines.Let's get right to the bottom line: this "film" is, no joke, nearly a shot by shot, sccene by scene ripoff of the modern classic Blair Witch Project. Honestly.They changed the location {Europe! Just like Chevy Chase did}. They added snow to a forest! They changed the gender of the creepy local to a guy and made him a total ditcher guide!Pretty much everything else is directly ripped off from BWP, including a tent confessional from a guy this time when things start going sideways. The only thing missing was a ripoff of Heather's fear snot...One could not possibly find a more effective way to waste one's time while watching this god-awful piece of garbage.Team Devil Complex: seriously...polish up those CVs...don't ever foist such crap on the world ever again, at least not until you go to night film school.There. I said it. Thus far as of May 2018, The Devil Complex is the absolute worst movie I have had the displeasure to watch this year. And there have been a few stinkers but none so far that has prompted me to write a warning review.Don't. Please...for the love of god...DON'T WATCH THIS DRECK...You're welcome...

This is a found footage film from the Hoia Baciu forest, Romania dating to November 2012. Three students enter the forest and never leave as we are informed by the professor who found the film. The forest we are told judges people and decides if they can leave or not. It seems littering is on the top of the list of sins. The film is interview filler for about the first 30 minutes. They walk through SNOW into the forest and get lost because they don't have a map. Seriously? Someone smarter than a fifth grader (or not) could have stepped up and said, "Hey! We made those tracks. Let's follow them back." Nope. The film offers no closure, or much of anything.PLOT SPOILER? There are some trees at the end almost shaped in a V (except for that one tree off to the side) and supposedly it concerns something that we don't see inside the V either. Keep alert for clues, because I expected aliens or a meth lab with cannibals."The Devil's Forest", "The Devil Complex" and "The Devil Within" are the same film, I would hate to see anyone watch it twice.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

In November 2012 Rachel Kusza and her team of film makers travelled to Transylvania to document the Baciu forest.The film crew were never heard from again. After searching for the film crew for two years, Rachels teacher finds the crews camera buried in the snow.Before taking own life, Redman uploads the footage to the internet.It shows the crews journey into the woods, but it also shows why locals refuse to enter the supposedly haunted forest.......Some found footage movies can be original, if they have writers and film makers who can be bothered with their 'project'.But then you get lazy film makers whom like to retread successful ground and put their own spin on that success. Here the magical spin is literally snow and a man with a beard.Other than that, it's just The Blair Witch Project, right down to the white text on black stating that the crew were never seen again.And it's a right chore to get through, even though it's just shy of ninety minutes.So we get the predictable meet up, the warnings from the locals, the vox pop interviews with the locals, and the meet up with the weird person who knows a little too much about the legend.And then the obligatory rest of the film walking through the forest, finding strange things, and the crew slowly coming apart and arguing before they go off into the dark and scream in the distance.You've seen this film a thousand times before, and much better.Thhis is the epitome of lazy film making, and like the makers, you just cannot be bothered with the finished 'project'.I'd rather watch the best of Lionel Blair on loop for two weeks, rather than sit through this again.

An amazing setting only can't do much for a found footage horror movie with low budget, uncharismatic actors with foreign accents and an overdone storyline. That being said, the movie misses the point of being scary and it looks like it doesn't even try. The scenes happen as they come, without momentum or a real terror content and it comes close to being just necessary chapters to respect the genre it is supposed to be, all in all weakly acted and directed. The actors are the main issue here. They just don't go together and that's obvious from the beginning. It's like none of them want to be there. I wasn't expecting much from it, but can't say I'm not somewhat disappointed about the lack of one or two well-crafted scares which would've saved something out of this lame duck movie. A missed shot.
