Devil

Ratings: 7.0/10
Film Class: B
Genre: Thriller

Five people stuck in an elavator turn on each other after realising that the devil is one of them and is slowly wiping them. From this movie, M. Night Shyamalan has shown that he still has got it in him... prolly not as a director but more as a writer. His past few movies haven't been the best of his works, but I think with Devil he has redeemed himself.

For one, you don't have to worry that it'll be boring after a while nor is it a cheap budget movie because it doesn't just span around in the elevator. There's other complementary scenes about various characters contributing to the storyline. The way the devil wipes out the passengers in the elevator is rather well thought of, the director was able to keep the suspense tight with each black out event and it becomes a much feared moment not just for the characters but for the audience as well.

Seat gripping, intense and an ending well worth waiting for. Though the acting wasn't fantastic, the story was able to atone for it. This isn't a horror scary movie just thriller scary so you don't have to garner that much courage to watch it. Isn't the best of films, but with time to spare, this is a movie not to be missed.
