Devil's Path earns points for infusing standard genre tropes with an LGBTQ context. But despite some effective moments, the film doesn't live up to its original premise.

Writer-director Matthew Montgomery and his co-writer Stephen Twardokus have found fruitful dramatic ground between the nervous excitement of cruising and the danger of venturing deep into the woods.

5/10

Those wanting a run-of-the-mill wilderness thriller might be disappointed because a lot of Devil's Path is atypical in spite of its reliance on familiar tropes.

Though it focuses on only two characters, Devil’s Path, like any good thriller, makes it difficult for the viewer to trust even them.

3/5

It's unmistakably a midnight movie, but with a heart and soul that ever so slightly elevates it above the pack.

2.5/5

It's more than a simple "Men lost in the woods" thriller and some of the themes it digs into were ultimately engrossing. I just wish the route getting there was as interesting

The characters are annoying and there is no plot whatsoever. Seriously hated this movie so much.

Excellent film! Suspenseful from start to finish. Low-budget but very well done. Good acting and cinematography, and an intelligent script full of twists and turns right up to the bitter end.
