Devil (2010)

I wanted to see this for some strange reason and I thought to myself, "OK, corny movie about people trapped in an elevator attacked by Satan." Let's think about this movie for a minute and what we perceive as scary. First of all, it's already scary going into elevators because every ones fear is that the elevator gets stuck. Second of all, now your trapped in their with Satan and that's scary enough as well. Third, your trapped in an elevator with complete strangers and that in itself is scary. The premise of the story is that when a person commits suicide then the devil is right around the corner to pick up some of his own. Bokeem Woodbine (Ray), Geoffrey Arend (Super Troopers), Jenny O'Hara (Mystic River), Bojana Novakovic (Edge Of Darkness), and Logan Marshall-Green (Brooklyn's Finest) are all trapped in this elevator while Chris Messina (Vicky Cristina Barcelona), who plays Det. Bowden tries to save them from Satan. The only problem is that none of them know what's going on and as some of them start getting killed, paranoia starts to attack them as they think it was one of them who did it. The movie also stars Jacob Vargas (Death Race) as one of the security guards that actually figures out what is happening and he starts warning the detective. I give the movie a B- because it was something new for the horror genre and it flows nicely. I was never bored during this movie.
