Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
cricketbat Devil is the result of M. Night Shyamalan coming up with a story, and then letting other people write the screenplay and direct the film - and it works. This surprisingly clean horror movie has some well-done creepy moments and interesting twists. Don't expect an Oscar winner, just expect a fun Twilight Zone/X-Files episode and you won't be disappointed.
Uatu the movie watcher 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.
StarWarsMoviesSuck M Night Shyamalan probably deserves criticism. As far as I'm concerned, he totally ripped off that novel for 'The Village'. His dialogue style makes even house-pets cringe. The director that did that annoying catacombs found footage movie as well was the director. Talk about annoying - it made me want to throw a chair at my TV. Regardless, DEVIL is a decent movie, and here's why: -Acting: You can see Shyamalan's hands all over the production, from the shady mattress salesman to the dramatic lynch-pins of the lead's crisis and final resolution. In this case it works. The actors do a great job at their roles, in what is a very multicultural setting. The 'good guys' are all immediately sympathetic characters, while the characters of intrigue effectively provide conflict. -Score: I rate the intro as the best I've seen in the 2010s. Velazquez made an amazing score that might be the best I've heard of the 2010s. -Story: Apparently M.Night got the idea from an Arthur canon Doyle story. It's simple but very entertaining. -Overall: The movie does things that I like - mainly it has characters that i can enjoy watching, which most movies fail to do now. I guess I'm partial to morality plays involving the devil, but DEVIL delivers.
dddimora 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
