Devil's Due

Synopsis: After a mysterious, lost night on their honeymoon, a newlywed couple finds themselves dealing with an earlier-than-planned pregnancy. While recording everything for posterity, the husband begins to notice odd behavior in his wife that they initially write off to nerves, but, as the months pass, it becomes evident that the dark changes to her body and mind have a much more sinister origin.

with one of these constantly.

My mom gave him so much sh*t for it.

(SAMANTHA CHUCKLES)

I think it's sweet.

I wish I had

something like that.

My whole childhood

is kind of a blank.

ZACH:
That's kind of why

I want to do this.

I used to think

my dad was so lame,

with all his nostalgia

and all that.

But I kind of get it now.

I kind of want this for us.

I just want a record of all the

important things that happen to us.

And all the random stupid stuff

that we'll forget about.

So, tonight I want to

start our family history.

was part of a family before.

So, thank you for being so

welcoming and wonderful.

(CROWD LAUGHING)

Dad had the first camera.

He'd carry it on

his shoulder like this.

I wanted you to know that I think

you are a wonderful brother.

I'm being serious! This is a

beautiful event... (CROWD LAUGHING)

you invited me. (LAUGHS)
