Devil: Blu Ray Review
Devil
Rating: M
Released by Universal Home Entertainment
M Night Shyamalan returns with the first of a trio of anthologies from his
Night Chronicles series.
In this, five people -who apparently have no connection - find themselves
trapped in a skyscraper elevator.
As the police and various
organisations try to free the quintet, it appears all of them have something to
hide - and that one of them is actually the Devil, who's come to collect&
Devil feels like it should be part of a Twilight Zone series of stories on
the small screen rather than the big screen release - its pacy story telling and
brevity of running time are benefits.
With no famous leads or cast members, Devil works on one level as you're
never quite sure who's going to make it out alive or who has the dirtiest
secret. It's a clever twist from the director on the casting front - but it
can't make the script soar.
The story's a little predictable and you can see how the intertwined story is
going to unravel well before its muted and disappointing end.
That said, it's nice to see Shyamalan returning to grass roots film making -
and I'd be interested to see some more of this trilogy.
Extras: Deleted scenes, docos on the story making and future
releases - nothing stunning.
Rating: 5/10
