Review of Devil (2010) by Khunter4382 — 05 Sep 2011

Not bad. Not great, but decent. With all my prior knowledge of Shyamalan's work, I found myself obsessively trying to figure out the inevitable twist. That's where the story fails. It preoccupies the audience so much that we care very little about what is actually going on inside that tiny elevator.

Instead, it focuses us on "who done it?" and "where's the catch?" While I was still somewhat surprised with the ending twist, my excitement was coupled with a dramatic eye-rolling.

Twists should never become synonymous with a film professional's work, and it has with Mr. Shyamalan.
