Review: Devil

Devil is the first movie in the planned Night Chronicles series. The basic premise is that five people get on an elevator. The elevator stops on its way up, but not due to any sort of mechanical or electrical failure. We soon learn that a supernatural force is tightly controlling the situation. Things start to take a turn for the worse as one of the passengers get cut/bitten when the lights flicker. Soon things become increasingly worse for those stuck in the elevator and those who try to assist them. As the film's tag-line says, "Bad things happen for a reason"

Devil is a first rate suspense movie from the mind of Mr. What-A-Twist himself M. Night Shyamalan. The acting was excellent. When the different characters needed to convey a certain feeling to the audience it was conveyed well. The story itself is gripping and interesting. It has some tense moments, especially towards the end.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie and how good it was, even if it falls short of my mandatory 90 mins or more time limit. The best part is the fact that you know the twist well in advance so there is no last minute where did that come from feeling.

Overall, Devil is a good suspense movie that should be given a chance. If you have the opportunity you should....
