tHop - Devil

OH MY GOD, A TRAILER! At long last a trailer! It’s been way to long! Let’s see … From the mind of M. Night … Fuck … Let’s read the synopsis.
“Devil is a supernatural thriller with M. Night Shyamalan’s signature touch.”
Ugh … roll the trailer!

The movie centers around a group of people that find themselves inside an elevator. At one point in its ride, the elevator comes to a halt and the people are stuck. The lights flicker and the elevator is darkened for a few moments, in which, the token woman gets cut by a sharp object. It would appear that someone in the elevator isn’t who they say they are.
What starts out to be a pretty cool concept, quickly turns in to a supernatural feast as the devil might be truly be involved in this case. Weird images appear on the security monitor and shit seems to be happening that shouldn’t be happening.

I have to admit that this does sound like a fairly good concept. Mind you, it would have been better without the supernatural crap. But, it’s Shyamalan movie after all so we can definitely expect for it to be different. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if it all turned out to be a partner of the one in the elevator who’s doing the weird shit like the monitors. Or it’s all a dream. Something like that anyways.

Luckily Shyamalan isn’t sitting on the director’s seat and we get another guy that might actually know how to turn Shyamalan’s madness around. Not only that, but the writer is Brian Nelson, and not Shyamalan.
So what we get here is a Shyamalan movie with a different director and a diferent writer? I’m game!
