“Devil” / Z-View
The Pitch: “M. Night Shyamalan has an idea for a story about 5 people trapped in an elevator and one of them is not what they seem.”
“What is this person who isn’t what he/she seems?”
“Well, let’s just leave it at the movie will be called ‘Devil.'”
“Let’s do it!”
The Tagline: “Five strangers trapped. One of them is not what they seem.”
The Overview: Five people find themselves trapped in a high-rise elevator. Help is on the way, if they can live long enough for it to arrive.
The Good:
- The concept.
- The movie starts off immediately with action.
- The movie has some creepy/scary moments but isn’t a gorefest.
- One person almost immediately figures out what is going on, but no one believes him.
- The way suspicions constantly shifted.
The Bad:
- Being stuck in an elevator is bad enough, but stuck with the
devilsomeone who is not what they seem really stinks.
- Be stupid enough to step in water with a live wire sparking.
The Ugly:
- Being able to look behind yourself while facing front.
Rating: 3 out of 5
