On an average day five strangers happen to enter the same building and into an elevator at the same time. The elevator stops running and pretty soon weird things begin to happen and one of these five people is supposed to be the devil. It soon becomes a battle for survival in an attempt to find the guilty member.
Devil is nothing special but it is interesting. The story comes from M. Night Shyamalan but fortunately that is all. Airbender proved he's lost his writing touch but this film proves he still has some good story ideas. The film is well directed for a story that primarily takes place in one location. The dialogue at times is a little cheesy but overall written pretty well. A few of the ideas about the devil a little more than interesting but overall it works well. And even though it's not the best mystery thriller it did keep me guessing until the end, which is precisely what it needed to do for what kind of movie it was. Overall, a decent horror thriller entertaining all the through though the ending could have been a little stronger.
