Devil - Some Thoughts

Alright, so, instead of a full, official, bells and whistles kind of review, I just wanted to give you some of my thoughts of the film. Those thoughts wont include spoilers, so, calm down, it'll be alright.

So, immedietly, the stigma of the movie is clear, due to the fact famed director M. Night Shyalaman came up with the concept. While that doesn't mean you should immedietly love or hate this movie, I can tell you, it has the Shamhammer's personal touch, if you know what I mean.

Once you get past the credits, you see five normal people getting into an elevator, and as that happens, spooky Final Destination stuff starts to happen, and we are given the fact that someone in there is the Devil. Yeah, the horned guy who controls hell. The mystery is which one of them is the devil. While the end may or may not surprise you, the road to the answer has some spooky moments, but for the most part, fails to delive as a horror movie, but makes a good "supernatural thriller."

Nearly any moment that is in the elevator was golden, as the shots and actors conveyed the proper tension and claustrophobia, but then they cut to detectives trying to solve the case of the broken elevator, and things just get silly.

Overall, it was a fun little movie that wasn't really worth the price of admission, but is worth a Netflix rental. Besides, if you have the proper company, any movie can be fun, and this one was.
