Devil (2010)-Spoiler Free Review

We all though M. Night was the devil, but he isn't here.

M. Night produced and wrote Devil.With his recent history (I am looking at you The Happening and Airbender) I wasn't really looking forward to this one.  I also wondered how good a movie about people stuck in an elevator with the devil could be.  He redeemed himself a bit.

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.
