    After a mysterious night on their honeymoon, Zach (Gilford) and Samantha (Miller) McCall find themselves dealing with an earlier-than-planned pregnancy in Devil's Due. While recording everything on video for posterity, Zach begins to notice odd behavior in his wife that they initially attribute to nerves, but it soon becomes evident the disturbing changes to Samantha's body and mind have a much more sinister origin. (Gary Reber)

    Special features include commentary with Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett, Chad Villella, and Justin Martinez; nine deleted scenes (HD 16:35); five featurettes: Radio Silence: A Hell Of A Team (HD 12:18), Ashes To Ash (HD 0:54), The Lost Time (HD 03:30), Roommate Alien Frank Goes Bad (HD 02:19), and Mountain Devil Prank Fails Horribly (HD 03:26); the Director's Photo Album; the theatrical trailer; upfront previews; and an UltraViolet digital copy.

    The 1.85:1 1080p AVC picture is undistinguished. Virtually the entire movie is photographed with a hand-held camera, and the camera movements are "home-made" amateurish. The main character Zack lives life seeing the world through a camera. Colors are decent, but the movie is just so very amateurish that it is not worth reviewing. (Gary Reber)

    The DTS-HD Master Audio™ 5.1-channel soundtrack is frontal focused, with a forward dialogue and boomy bass to intensify the scariest scenes. There are undistinguished sonics. (Gary Reber)
