devil

If I tell you to go see this movie, you should.

Not anymore you're not if you're saying anyone should see Devil. That was terrible!

This movie was not written or directed by M. Night. I believe he just came up with the idea for the story.

^^^

It was good. Horrible, horrible acting, but it gave me a solid scare with a decent who-dunnit script. If they hadn't put M. Night's name all over this movie, the ending would've been far less predictable. I only predicted a portion of it, though.

i saw this last night, I thought it was pretty decent. Nothing new or amazing, but at least they weren't relying on a bunch of special effects to create suspense/fear. and at least they kept it short, too.

What I hate most about movies like this is how they rely on nothing more than the >BOOM< Scare! a loud noise cut to a close up kind of thing. It's the horror movie equivalent of a Comedy kicking someone in the nuts for a laugh. Cheap and lazy.
Plus, what the hell did the guy jumping out the window have to do with anything in the plot? Other then "Oh hey! We need another gruesome death in here somewhere?" Who cares if it's actually relevant.
And then there's the big problem I had with it, why would the devil even care a whit about any of those people if they were already damned? He's got them already! It should have been saints in there and him corrupting them. Ughh!

yeah, it was short, but it wasn't short enough.

Say you take out a loan from a bank and you pay it back pretty quickly. They'll give you another loan (maybe even 2). But then you don't pay them back for the next few loans they give you. Finally, you go to the bank and ask for yet another loan. They'll tell you "no" because you kept screwing them over on the other loans, even though you paid back the first one or two loans.

That's how i feel about M. Night's movies. I AM THE BANK.

Did he even direct Devil? Tried to watch Signs recently. saw it at cinema and actually enjoyed it. But i couldn't get back in to it second time round. Thought it was shit. Unbreakable was awesome but the ending always spoils it for me. Not so much the ending but the subtitles-"he went to an asylum because he was mental and..." blah blah blah. Still better than The Sixth Sense and it beats The Village to a bloody pulp.

He was in Empire or Total Film explaining how he's not unhappy with any of his films because he's made money back on all of them. That's the right way of looking at it isn't it? People are still disappointed with them, they just want him to make a good movie again so badly. I've heard that The Last Airbender is no better than his other recent films. Personally, i think he's a little too confident in himself. He thinks he's this master of mystery and suspense but he seems to be blind to the fact that he keeps failing miserably at what he's so sure he does best, as far as his art goes anyhow.

What's bullshit is they keep throwing money at this guy to make films but that Tarsem cat can't get a movie made except every decade.

I'd never heard of this director so i just googled him, bit of a coincidence as i've just, in the last half an hour or so, finished watching Benjamin Button for the first time and Tarsem was second unit director in india. The Cell was alright from what i remember. Haven't seen The Fall.

1) The voiceover of the latino security guard said his mother's stories about the devil always started with a suicide

2) It was the catalyst for getting the police guy to the building in the first place. Like the security guard said there was a reason that they were the audience (which obviously is revealed at the end)

Did you notice that the truck the jumper landed on was Bethel bakery (or Bethel something) and that the cop's family were killed on Bethel road

Nice catch! The Bethel thing, I mean.

they were killed on Bethlehem road, but yeah. Bethal is synonymous with that, its also a church in redding california that is getting a lot of attention amoung christian circles. might have had something to do with throwing that name in there.
