Didn’t hold my attention
First of all this is not a horror movie! I’ve sat trough this entire movie waiting for the ‘horror’ but it never came. This movie is really, really bad. I don’t mean that in a cool Michael Jackson-1987- music video type of way. This movie is more a thriller, with a lot of drama in it. The movie is one hour and ten minutes. To me it felt like it was over two hours. A terrible script made it impossible for me to like this movie.

The movie is about three people who are stuck in an elevator. As time goes by things get crazier and crazier. The plot itself is a big plothole. Without giving it away, in this day and age, it’s simply not possible to get stuck in an elevator like that. The viewer will notice this along the way, and this certainly doesn’t do the credibility of this movie any good.

For a movie that is straight to DVD I was pleasantly surprised with the visuals. Not once, did I get the feeling that this is a struggling movie. It’s beautifully shot. The tone is dark. You could see the director put time and effort in the making of this movie.

The first minutes looked promising but then something changed. It began showing flashbacks. I was cool with this because it gave a little backstory on the characters. But the flashbacks kept going on and on in this movie. The problem with this is that it killed the pacing of this movie. It almost felt like I was watching drama. It wasn’t what I expected of this movie and there was almost no real suspense till near the end.

The dialogue is cloggy a lot of the times and interesting some of the times. Acting was bad on some parts in the beginning and got better after I think 20 minutes. As a matter of fact, one character annoyed me endlessly .The movie tries to develop the characters but doesn’t do a good job. Because it’s so slow paced, I lost interest in the characters. The backstories just aren’t interesting.

I didn’t like the ‘big revelation’ near the end. You know the part of the movie where all the pieces of the puzzles fit together. I expected something bigger and intriguing. I was searching for some redemption, some reward for sitting trough this mess, but it was so predictable and rushed.

Bottom line: It’s garbage. A big, smelly one. With a bunch of flies on it.

2/10

Elevating 😉
I’ll be honest, I don’t think this deserves a 10 but I wanted to add a little bit of spice to the mix. I watched this film for Aidan Gillen but actually rather enjoyed it. I think I was more disappointed that the ending was “happy” rather than actually being disappointed by the film as a whole. I was hoping for something darker to aid the plot prior to the finale, since the film explored a lot of pretty morbid themes (especially with Aidan’s character). However, I can understand the reasoning for the female character to be the one to get out alive. Overall, it was a decent flick! I liked the way it was shot and the tint used was visually pleasing. Furthermore, the acting was top notch all round. Considering the entire film (more or less) took place in an elevator, time seemed to go very quickly as the film was well-paced, with edgy camera movements and cutaway scenes to support this. Do I recommend it? Yes! Give it a go. If you liked Devil, you might like this.
