The basic purpose of a movie is to tell a story, this is where a lot of film makers make the mistake, they keep every thing in the movie except the story. How ever with introduction of small budgeted movies, this problem has been tackled to a large extent. Devil is a shining example of a well made movie, with a basic concept, good production value and a considerably low budget as compared to other Hollywood films.
The first thing that strikes you about the movie is, that there are no famous names in the title sequence, except Mr. Manoj N Shyamalan who is the producer of the movie, may be his recent big budgeted flops have forced him to enter the world of small budget movies.
Coming back to the basic concept of the movie, it is about 5 people who have been stuck inside a lift of a building, and one by one they start getting killed, on of the security man, who is watching the action through a CCTV camera is confident that this is the work of devil, and he is one among these 5 people. A police officer who is trying to resolve the situation dose not believes it initially but than finds on other explanation, the question is not only that who among them is the devil but also what is his motive.
The movie is virtually shot inside a lift, with some action taking place into the building where the lift is hanging, the movie may even influence upcoming film makers who dose not have heavy budgets to support them. The movie is a good watch for thriller/horror fans, with captivating story telling and a good climax, which is such a rare commodity now a days.
Rating ***.
