Suffering mightily from its small budget, questionable performances, odd dialogue exchanges, and a general lack of suspense or direction, this supposed horror movie is laughable but also mostly dull.

Rated: 1/5

A Candyman knockoff with Candyman himself Tony Todd. But it is not worth watching.

NYC Movie Guru

A tedious, anemic and lackluster B-movie that's low on scares, thrills and surprises.

With its cheap aesthetic, atrocious acting, insipid screenplay, and flat direction, Devilreaux is an embarrassment to all involved.

Rated: 0.5/4

Fun but suspenseful. Great new character with lots of possibilities.

Can’t believe Lionsgate attached its name to this. Horrible acting. This could have been so much better.

Watching this was like watching the horror version of a lifetime movie. Insulting to history, Haitians, and everyone in general. The ending made it so much worse as it was extremely unsatisfying.

Even for a B movie, this was pretty bad. I understand people work on a budget but watching clips on how to deal with crime scenes and victims in a hospital is free on youtube. I didn't recognise Tony Todd due to the lackluster preformance he put on but I guess he was working with what he had. I will however say I did enjoy the costume and make up for Devilreaux

This film has a lot of potential. There were some editing issues and some scenes were slow, but all in all it was a good film. Actors played their roles well. You simply never know what you're going to get with a horror film and with Devilreaux, the acting had a great balance and delivery. It would have been interesting to see how the movie would develop if they stayed in the 1800's/early 1900's. Then for the sequel, bring it to modern times. All in all, this storyline was creative and original in its own way. Everyone says it's like Candyman. I don't see the resemblance except the fact that Tony Todd is in it. All the talk clouded my mind and opinion about the film before I watched it, so I made sure to watch it on a clean slate. I'm looking forward to seeing how all the other characters died. Again the film has a lot of potential and am looking forward to seeing what they will do with Devilreaux in the future.
