Devil

M. Night Shyamalan has been asked to make some films based on his ideas. But he does not fully write them or direct them.

As many know M. Night has not been very popular of late. He has made so many bad films that I'm surprised he can still get work. Despite being so loathed 'The Last Airbender' still made money. I think however he maybe onto the right track here. Just coming up with an idea then letting someone else write and direct it. Because of M. Night's involvement I had very low expectations for this film. Which may explain why I ended up enjoying it more than I expected. It is just a nicely made supernatural thriller that keeps you interested with all the little clues it dribbles out. The twist at the end is not really all that shocking but is real neat.

Chris Messina does a really nice job as the detective in charge of finding who is the killer in the lift. The people in the lift are a good collection of 'bodies' for the killer. They do get angry a little bit too easily though.

Despite having M. Night's name on this film it is not as terrible a film as you may expect. He has done the right thing and come up with a good idea but then let someone else make it come true. I think he needs to do it more in future.
