31 Days of Horror – Devil (2010)





When Detective Bowden is called in to investigate a suicide jumper, he doesn’t realize his day is about to get worse when he is also called in to help with some stranded passengers in an elevator – an elevator in the same building as the man who jumped to his death.  Five passengers with shady pasts are trapped somewhere around the 21st floor and one of them is a potential killer.  Or is it the devil himself?

John Erick Dowdle directed this movie based on a story by M. Night Shyamalan and screenplay by Brian Nelson.  Chris Messina, Logan Marshall-Green, Jenny O’Hara, Bohana Novakovic, and Bokeem Woodbine star in this thriller that will keep you guessing until the end. 

If you know anything about Shyamalan’s stories, then you know there is bound to be a twist at the end but getting there is still half the fun.  Though I have predicted all of his movies so far (this one included) they are still good tales with clever plot twists and worth the watch.  I’m not sure how I missed it when it first came out, but I am happy to have caught up with viewing it today.
