Devil

Devil, the M. Night Shyamalan produced thriller set around five strangers in an elevator, and a curious cop with a dark past, is at best a great B-list movie. It was cheap. It's haunting and gets the scares, it is at worst a series of jump scares, but I believe it leans more toward the former. Though some would debate over the originality of the plot, it's something that stood out to me. We were left inside the elevator long enough to start feeling claustrophobic, but then we would come out to find out more about the people inside the elevator... the pacing was well thought out and it definitely had a few "WHAT THE FUCK" moments, something best seen at the cinema, or rented on a dark night with friends, but by no means a light watch. Expect scares and twists a plenty, as it keeps you guessing until the end, and even then surprises you while taunting your closed minded expectations.

Not brilliant, but not far off. If only they'd kept the story a little more grounded and less supernatural. Best line "he's just religious, don't listen to him"

7/10
