DEVIL
4 out of 5 stars

very well done! it’s creepy… it’s suspenseful… it’s also thrilling! LOVED this one! ;)



the movie starts out with someone falling to their death off of a really tall office building. this prompts the philly PD to investigate into such a bizarre suicide, since the victim died with a rosary in their hands and a note stating that “the devil is near”. det. bowden (chris messina) is assigned to the case, and he arrives just in time when five ordinary people get stuck in an elevator. the five people are: a mattress salesman, a mechanic, a wife, an old lady, and a security guard. suddenly, odd things start to happen in the elevator, and everyone starts to freak out. there’s a hispanic security guard looking at the security camera inside the elevator, and thinks that one of them is the devil. (he’s uber-religious and believes that an old mexican folklore story his mother told him when he was young is coming true…) so, which one is it? (i have to leave the plot summary as is since i don’t want to give away any of the awesome plot twists!)


if you’re looking for a creepy thriller that’s quasi-religious, THIS ONE IS FOR YOU. this one is perfect to watch with the lights out, popcorn freshly popped, and on a dark/stormy night… get the mood right, and you’ll be officially creeped out…in your home AND perhaps on an elevator someday. oh! forgot to mention that master ghost storyteller m. night shamalan wrote the story to this movie AND helped produce it. it just goes to show that when he sticks with what he knows, the end product is AMAZINGLY GOOD. (such as this)
