They say life is full of surprises. Every time we are faced with choices and opportunities that never unexpected arrival. On the other hand, some say that no one else in this world happens for no apparent reason. Everything was arranged and planned. But what if that happens it's really unexpected. Like meeting the devil, for example.
As usual, life was normal and nothing strange. At least until one day there were five people trapped in the elevator and could not get out. All kinds of ways they've done but still there seemed no hope to get out of the elevator. Ben (Bokeem Woodbine), Jane Cowski (Jenny O'Hara), Vince (Geoffrey Arend), Tony (Logan Marshall-Green), and Sarah (Bojana Novakovic) did not know each other but fate brought them this time.
One by one of them later died without obvious cause. They suspect each other until only one person is left while he did not feel killing one of them. Who is actually responsible for this murder? Is it true that the devil himself coming down to kill them? Why have they chosen to be victims of the devil?
Review
In theory, this is indeed promising DEVIL smelling a supernatural thriller that will be gripping. Unfortunately, in execution, there are some weak points and lower the level of tension that should exist. It may be that it is not wrong but the basic idea is the idea of processing it into a form suitable for consumption.
Take a place in an elevator is the right choice. Narrow space and lack of room to move usually does lead to gripping effect. Somehow this time the trick did not seem too effective, but there are already some point, when the lights went out, which should make the situation more tense. When the lights went out was pretty tense situation but when the lights came back on then lost also the effect of trying to developed earlier.
Attempts to make the story flow a little convoluted for no predictable ending is also not exactly a success. The same plot has been frequently used by other films while acting the cast in this DEVIL is hardly satisfactory. So, what remains is only a B-Movie are suitable for consumption when I want to break away from the fatigue of daily activitie
