ObserverRex ReedFeb 21, 2023
With terrific Appalachian ambience and moments of carefully constructed action, Devil’s Peak is not a terrible movie, but in the bigger picture, it’s not a particularly memorable one, either. It just lies there on the table, like day-old grits. Read full review

The cast is solid, the film’s pedigree is good, there’s a sense of direction and competence laced through it all, but the whole is lesser than its parts. It’s hard to watch not just because it fails, but because you see all the ways it might have succeeded. Read full review

Ben Young’s atrocious Devil’s Peak is a case study of excellent performers being given so little to work with from a script. Read full review
