CHASING THE DEVIL is another in an endless run of found footage horror movies made on zero budget which means you know from the outset it simply won't be very good. This one's yet again about a team of paranormal investigators sent to a haunted location to probe an inexplicable death. There are hints of PARANORMAL ACTIVITY throughout, amid a whole lot of conversation that doesn't really add up to much and makes the whole thing slow-moving and uninteresting. The cheesy horror elements are predictable and clichéd, although this isn't the worst of its type.

Plot summary
Patrick McCord doesn't accept the explanation of his sister's mysterious death as suicide, and instead teams up with a team of paranormal investigators to delve deeper into the inexplicable circumstances that surround what he believes to be murder. The team's investigation leads them from one bizarre and frightening clue to another, at the center of which seems to exist something evil and terrifying, a presence well beyond their wildest imaginations and experiences. Before long, they realize this deadly entity has now targeted each of them, and they are confronted with the impossible challenge of defeating it and saving their own lives. In the end, what survives, and is presented here, is the disturbing footage that Patrick and his team shot, footage that if seen by others, likely endangers the viewer, marking them as the next victim of this powerful and evil force. Be careful what you chase - you just might end up catching it.

I want to be chasing a better movie
Patrick takes a trio of TV paranormal investigators with him to observe a couple's daughter, who appears to be suffering from the same possession that Patrick's own sister had suffered from before her untimely suicide, in this low-budget horror flick that's firmly in the 'found footage' sub-genre.
I didn't particularly care for the 'found footage' sub-genre, as in my mind, most of the films can come across as cheap, lazy, badly acted & sloppy. This film suffers from it's faults yes, but it's still marginally better than other swill that populates this genre. Still not enough to rewatch it again anytime soon (or ever) though.

Poor Writing Ruined This Film
Without giving away the obvious ending, the acting is good; however, this film is riddled with ridiculous writing that shows the characters as completely inept making the stupidest decisions. It's too much to suspend disbelief. They don't really seem to have a goal in mind other than to find out what the antagonist is trying to do. They never stop to think of a way to defend themselves, so the entity just kicks their rear ends the entire time. They split up at times which is really stupid and gives the movie a Scooby Doo cartoon feel. Some unintentionally silly scenes toward the end just make it feel like a cartoon in general. This wasnt even a fresh idea at the time, but still could have been better executed.
