Jake Cummings (Jensen Ackles) is a stressed-out college student and computer technician who gets an unusual birthday present from one of his best friends -- an interactive video game called "The Pathway," which allows players to take part even when they aren't at their monitors. However, the nightmarish visions of the game begin haunting Jake's dreams and then taking over his waking hours as the violence of "The Pathway" stops being play and starts becoming reality. Has the game become possessed by malevolent spirits? And how can it be stopped? Devour also stars Dominique Swain and Shannyn Sossamon. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Felix Vasquez Jr., Cinema Crazed
It has a nice little array of second tier actors, an interesting story, and a convincing performance by Jensen Ackles who keeps the movie afloat with enough competence to render him likable, even if it's genre confused as all hell...

Dragan Antulov, Draxblog Movie Reviews
good ending that can't save generally disappointing film
-
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...it's hard to imagine anyone walking away from the film satisfied (this includes the folks responsible for making the movie).
-
Scott Weinberg, DVDTalk.com
...three or four bits of high-end grue surrounded by a whole lot of white noise.

If you're planning on hitting the crack-pipe this weekend, then here's a good side dish.
