Devil - a DVD Review

DEVIL - a DVD Review


A group of people are trapped in an elevator and the Devil is mysteriously amongst them.   The characters include, a chubby older woman, the young thin elegant woman.  A male black security guard from the building, the wise-cracking mattress salesman and the young male Dessert Storm vet.


This film was written by M. Night Shyamalan, but directed by John Erick Dowdle.  Dowdle’s film credit are films I’ve never heard of such as “Quarantine” and “the Poughkeepsie Tapes”.


While the entire plot revolves around the occupants of the elevator I found the story worth watching, just to see how it ends.  The dialogue was pretty forgettable, and the acting was plausible but far from outstanding. 


This film played like a T.V. movie-of-the-week.  Especially since its running time was only 80 minutes.  I gave it two stars.
