Career

In 2015, he began his career by scripting The Wretched Emily Derringer, which appeared on that year's Black List survey.[1][2] In 2018, Devlin wrote an unsolicited screenplay for the horror film Cobweb (2023).[3] The screenplay was included in 2018's Black List and Blood List.[4][5] In November 2019, he gained notability when he was hired as a screenwriter on Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022), which served as a direct sequel to the original film and ignored all other installments of the franchise.[6][7][8] The film was met with largely negative critical and audience reviews.[9] By November 2020, Lionsgate bought Devlin's screenplay for the horror film Video Nasty.[10]
