Devil (2010)

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Did you people see the same film I saw?

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

From my point of view, the movie's point isn't to scare your ass off. Its point is to piece together horror, thriller and a little bit of comedy. Its point is to seem interesting and not to seem predictable - personally, i have so much valuation to films that doesn't have a simple idea. The films that gets you confused with their abnormal atmosphere. The films that leave you guessing and biting your nails.I think the characters are amazingly done - i mean, their lines make you laugh and each one of them expresses themselves differently. My favorite is the curly hair-guy who talks all the time, including sarcasm and humor in his talk. The others get just pissed off and tell him to shut up :D THAT IS SO FUNNY.I mean, they are stuck in the elevator and they have to stand each other in such a cramped pace and yet, for such a long time. If this doesn't impress you enough, at least watch this movie for Logan Marshall Green because his performance in his role is impressing. I remember him from The OC tv show, as Ryan Atwood's brother, Trey in the later seasons. This movie made me laugh, entertained, a little bit of skittish and very involved. I think it's amazingly and uniquely done. One of interesting things in the movie for me is to think that someone of those people in the elevator, is the devil! People died one at a time and it left you to question those who are still alive. It's like freaking detective game for you :DI just have to say, i'm proud i watched this movie. It made me feel entertained afterwards. Movies like this are one of the good reasons to stay alive.

Judging by the score this movie got (especially on Metacritic) I can't help but feel that a lot of people prejudged this movie based on its writer. It isn't controversial to say that Shyamalan had made a lot of terrible movies before the release of "Devil" and I think a lot of people simply assumed this was going to be one of them. I can't say I blame them. I must admit that when I saw the cheesy poster art with the upside down crucifix shining through the elevator doors I wasn't expecting much from this movie either. But I was pleasantly surprised.The plot was solid and Shyamalan's obligatory plot twist actually worked this time unlike most of the hilariously bad plot twists which he is notorious for. All in all "Devil" is a well thought out thriller. The acting is great and the atmosphere is captured brilliantly. My one complaint would be that it all ends rather abruptly and a little too simplistically. The audience doesn't really get the time to process it all.I give this movie a 7/10. After many terrible movies, it seems that M. Night Shyamalan has finally begun to repair his tarnished reputation.

When I first started watching the movie I thought it would be like every B- horror movie with a plot line that we all could guess very easily. But to my amazement it was in a world of its own with a pretty good script, decent actors, and a good budget so that there wasn't any cheesy/cheap special effects There are my twists and turns in the movie and everyone in the elevator has something to hide deep down.The plot line was pretty good with some decent actors.My rating is 8.5/10 If you have a chance I would watch this movie

The movie hit a scary side of me when I use my imagination and put myself in one of the individuals situation. First, I don't like tight spaces. Second, I don't like elevators with more than just me on it (I do walk 8 flights of stairs within the building I work at to my desk.) Third, include an evil spirit (or daddy evil himself) within the mix and to me, that equals a scary movie.I enjoyed the plot of the movie on how the individuals themselves all ended up on the elevator. As the movie reels, the viewer learns about each person's background on the elevator due to the assigned detective on the case. How did he end up on the case? Everything that happened in sequence was just how the devil planned. Good movie!
