Great movie. Deserves a much higher rating.

Boring in theory, epic in practice. Loved this movie.

Incredible , just gonna say that .

"Devil" is a low gore horror entry that does a good job of relaying some scares but is more concerned with just ratcheting up the tension between five people stuck on an elevator.
There's some crime-solving by the hero cop, played by Chris Messina. He's a very likable guy whose family was killed in a car accident by a hit-and-run driver some time earlier. His character is a lot like Mel Gibson's in "Signs" in that a bitter man discovers (or rediscovers) his faith through a very strange incident.
Messina's cop works through the incident with an entertaining Building Security team. Their banter lightens the mood just enough to release a little claustrophobic stress built up from the whole elevator problem. The whole "Devil-in-the-elevator" concept is okay but I actually forgot anything supernatural was happening at all because the people stuck in the elevator clearly hated each other and were also clearly not good people.
There is some nice camera work and a couple of fun but brief performances by Geoffrey Arend (as Vince the Salesman) and Jacob Vargas (as Ramirez the Security Guard) that stood out above the rest.
Many will dismiss this movie because M. Night Shyamalan came up with the concept but let them hate on it. This is a very taut suspenseful good time.

Low budget who-dun-it claustrophobic-ish horror film interspersed with detective work. I personally think the film could work even better if they focused on emphasizing the claustrophobic feeling of being trapped in an elevator, but the film still works nonetheless. Performance is decent enough to fill the film with an air of mystery that the devil can be anyone in the room. The ending however is the weakest part of the film, as the climax is resolved too easily after all of the budding suspense has been built up.

Produced by M. Night Shyamalan, Devil is an intense supernatural thriller. The story follows five strangers who get stuck in an elevator and begin to turn on each other after one of them is attacked and killed during a power outage, meanwhile some unknown force seemingly prevents rescue from the outside. The script is especially well-written, and really brings dramatic tension to the situation. The storytelling too is quite engrossing; drawing the audience into the mystery of who the characters are and what is happening. A riveting and well-crafted film, Devil does an extraordinary job at exploring the themes of paranoia and fear.

I liked the concept of this film, mainly because I like "whodunit" stories. Add in some Devil and supernatural elements and this is right up my alley. The part I don't care for is that you can tell this is a M. Night Shyamalan story near the end. He didn't write the screenplay but they did use his story and he produced it, and it shows.

The plot of this latest Shyamalan flick is not bad and the tension is building up. But somehow there's something missing and the ending is just a big disappointment in my opinion: the devil exists and he want's to collect the souls of "bad" people by killing them. That's not very original, is it?!

After the terrific "6th sense"" and the nice plot-twists in "Unbreakable", Shyamalan seems to have lost it: Signs was a catastrophe, The village mediocre at best and with Devil he still is far from his stroke of genius AKA "The 6th sense" in my opinion...
