We all though M. Night was the devil, but he isn't here. |
Plot- Five people stuck in an elevator. The lights will flicker and one of them will die or get hurt. Who is doing it? Actually, that is just part of it as one of the security guard builds the mythology of the Devil coming to Earth to torment souls before he takes them to hell. The story was actually really good and a pretty good mystery. It had a good story outside of the elevator and a pretty good twist.
Characters- I wasn't familiar with any of the actor's but they provided really good performances. They were engaging and pulled you into the story.
Overall- It was a pretty good movie that surprised me. I didn't think it was scary but my 10 year old did. She wanted to see it so I let her. She said it was good. While I think it isn't a child's scary movie it is kind of light for an adult horror movie. It fits fairly well with his other movies. Kind of horrorish but more of a mystery. I would go 13 and up on this one due to gore.

A movie which I quite enjoyed.
The premise didn't sound enticing and like you, his recent track record didn't help any. Haven't seen it yet.
Lurker- I enjoyed it.
Alex- I didn't think the premis was great either, but he proved me wrong.
Based on your review, I might have to check this one out.
Like you, I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. Solidly done -- unlike The Crappening.
lovely Bojana Novakovic from the film is actually from my country :)
Dez, I think the women from your country are very lovely indeed. at least the ones that make it in Hollywood. I don't know what the average girl looks like.
I flipped by this the other night and didn't watch because I hadn't heard of it, but it sounds like something I'd watch. (Though I really haven't enjoyed much from M. Night since The Sixth Sense. Still, I'd give it a shot. Will look for it.)
I've been pretty reluctant to see it, but now I just might do so. Thanks for the review!
