Reviews

Devoured has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. While some have praised the film for its atmospheric tension and Marta Milans' gripping performance, others have criticized its slow pacing and lack of narrative depth. The film currently holds a rating of 5.4/10 on IMDb. Variety described it as 'a moody mood piece that packs little punch despite its stellar central performance', highlighting the emotional depth of Marta Milans' portrayal while pointing out the film's shortcomings in storytelling. On the other hand, Bloody Disgusting commended the film for its haunting imagery and unsettling tone, calling it 'an atmospheric slow burn that delivers a visceral and emotional experience'.
