[MOVIE] "Devil" By M. Night Shyamalan Review

devil 003

So yesterday I got invited to the premier screening for "Devil" By M. Night Shyamalan.
Finally, A movie review huh? I know some of my followers had missed reading movie reviews on my blog. "HEH" But nevertheless, I'm back again with another flick by M.Night Shyamalan.

So M. Night Shyamalan is back again, to redeem his glory since "The Sixth Sense". Well no one can forget that movie that involves such a epic cast such as Bruce Willis. But he is back, once again, trying his luck other than the other "fail" movies that he has comeback with, such as The Happening, The Last airbender, The village. Okay , lets get straight to the review.
We will give this little M. Night Shyamalan another chance. maybe.

Devil. Its a story from The Night Chronicles, which means to say that there are more movies NOT sequels, that will be made soon to be viewed in the Cinemas.
But Devil seems to be the first movie to be released from the Night Chronicles.
What is this movie about anyway? Devil is a horror/Thriller movie, which wants you to use your brain, but fails to do so. Thats what I can say.
5 people trapped in a elevator at a random place, at a random time. One of them turns out to be the devil, Lucifer as we know it. So okay, people will give a bet at first, yeah this guy seems suspicious , and yeah.... I think he is the devil. NAH!
Boom, one person eliminated. Oh shit, I think its this guy... he could kill off anyone..
BOOM! Dead. Its just a round of elimination. The suspense that you built off since the start of the movie, just whitens out slowly after 1 dies. One by one, elimination. Up to the fact that the whole movie is based on one story set up by the Mexicans, I think. Their perspective on the devil, and what it plans to do. The deaths are PRETTY DARN obvious. Once the light goes off, or maybe someone did something stupid, they don't actually show you the scene of death.
'No wonder its rated PG13' Not to mention the ending was a WTF again.

Morale of the story, "Spill your beans, before your beans spill you."
Watch the movie , and you will think that... someone, somewhere.. could be the devil.
From the mind of M. Night Shyamalan.

Overall rating: 5.5/10

Watch the trailer below if you haven't.
