I saw this last night and found it to be pretty damn good. I mean yeah, most of M. Nights movies blow, all of them after Signs really, but he didn't write the script for this, and he didn't direct this and having some one else make it really paid off. The real twist at the end is excellent and really through me for a loop.

Shyama-yo-mama-dingdingding's twist ending REVEALED:
There is no Devil involved. Period. They're just paranoid idiots stuck on an elevator, who get all cabin-feverish and do stupid, finger pointing shit for 90 minutes and turn on eachother thinking each one is some kinda evil bla bla bla.
Then the *REAL* twist is that by the time you've finished your popcorn and nap and collectively realize how disappointed you are in the movie, it's too late to get a refund.
M. Night strikes again!

....he's like the Hamburglar of mainstream movies. ........RabbleRabbleRabble Hat

I went to see a movie the other day and the preview for this came on...when M. Night Shamalamading-dong's name came up the whole theater erupted into laughter.
You want a twist?
People are actually going to see his movies!
He's still making movies!

You want a Twist?

M. Night Shyamalan is the antichrist and he is molding people's brains into mush through the medicority of his shitty movies.
Naturally, Wes Craven and John Carpenter know this, and offered him sexual favors for the power to hypnotise people to be able to remake every one of their fucking films.

All these horror movies BIG HITS or LOW BUDGET seem not like they used be mean YES new 3D make it better and more real that's cool but these day's there cheesy flims , plots kinda suck with more sex scene and dumb teen actions make it wack most of the time .

I can't wait to see this movie and see who ends up being the Devil in the end!

My bet is on the older lady - that would be a great twist!

I have a good ending for it: The Devil is EVERYONE in the elevator but one person. At the end they all simultaneously reveal that to the single trapped person. A better quality of torment if it's gonna be the actual devil. See the faces below.

YES! That would be perfect. How Evil is that? I mean the horror of being played by the devil all alone is scarier then a detective story. but maybe I'm just a twisted horror fan. Drunk

No you don't have a good ending that ending would suck Stare

OfflineUser offline. Last seen 1 year 22 weeks ago.

Well I obviously disagree. Is it gonna end like The usual suspects? Let's see if you or the real ending is better. And why does that suck? Stache


FreddyKrueger13's picture

It sucks because there can only be one devil. But everyone has their own opinion so I didn't mean to sound rude or anything just stating my opinion. And I don't get what do you mean by this "Let's see if you or the real ending is better."?


Horrorchild's picture
OfflineUser offline. Last seen 1 year 22 weeks ago.

Technically what I meant by the devil being 4 people is that if a Demon can posses one person, maybe the Devil can posses or form into 4 people simultaneously like puppets on a string. Then instead of it being a a "which one of the five people is the Devil movie" it would be a "O no that poor one person was being personally tormented by the devil himself in a way on he can do". What I meant by see what the real ending is was lets see if the real ending turns out to be better than my idea. Or do you have any ideas? It's OK I don't take your tone personally krueger.


FreddyKrueger13's picture

My idea for a good ending would be that the detective figures out who the devil is but the devil kills the two other people before he can say. Then those two get into a hardcore fight while people on the outside hurry to save him. He ends up killing the devil and is freed but can't live with himself knowing what happened in there so he grabs a gun and kills himself. I think that would be an awesome ending Evil

Yanno Kid, Everything's making sense... Are you *actually* M. Night Sham-a-llama-doodoo-razzamatazz-twistydoo trolling on the boards for viewer feedback? That'd explain why we've never gotten along in the past. Hat

You got a hell of an imagination! that would be a great ending!
That's a decent M Night twist, but I think it will be more complicated and intricate, leaving you guessing what happened afterwards..

can we please stop with the pg-13 horror!!! then they'll release a unrated directors cut to make more money. and the cash cow rolls on!

At first I was beginning to have very mild interest until M. Night's name was stamped on this, then I completely lost any interest. The guy had so many chances to redeem himself and failed. Hell, they EVEN gave me a cartoon show(THE LAST AIRBENDER)to adapt to the big sceen--AND STILL FUCKED IT UP! A kid's show! His movies have progressively gotten worse and worse. I guess he's gunning for Uwe Boll's Worse-Director/Producer/Writer/-On-Earth title.

Besides, like some one mentioned, you know the Devil will live at the end while every one dies-what a twist! Nowadays, showing Shyamalan's name in front of a movie is like stamping it with giant red letters TAINTED.

night is producing. no writing, no directing, its part of his 'night chronicles' project. but that aside, this movie has a simple premise with potential: trapped in small enclosed space w/ no way out with a couple of strangers and you slowly learn that there is something terribly wrong with one of them. its all suspense! i dont know, im personally gonna see it. check out the other clips at the website, you might find yourself curious as well: http://www.thenightchronicles.com/devil/

This movie looks exciting. To be honest, I did like The Happening. It was a "different" movie with a good moral to it. Listen to that moral america. RECYCLE

You've got to be kidding when any of you say "The previews look, cool. Maybe this time it will be good unlike the last dozen films M. Night has made that had cool trailers but the movies totally sucked." There must be a recovery program for this. I cannot understand why the movie companies keep turning out these total dogs. I can't believe that movies like The Happening or The Village or Lady in the Water (worst horror movie I've ever seen) have made enough of a profit to justify continuing to back M. Night. Does he have a rich family who are backing his movies. You really would have to pay me to go to any of his films--and throw in free popcorn and a coke, too.

the premise is simple.
the devil enters the elevator and nobody asks him "what floor?"
this pisses him off

This looks good but predictable everyone will die and the devil will walk off injured but alive

OK i know the PG-13 and the fact that he hasn't made a decent movie in years i think he could make a comeback it's a nice easy story to follow and a good twist in the end. But there is a change he might F.it big time again but common its simple the DEVIL and like 4 people in an elevator trying to kill each other and only the DEVIL walks out too simple and too good to F.UP really... >)

I swear Shyamalan is a curse. But this movie is not being directed by him. All the movies that he did that was flop he produced, directed, and written it. This one he just produced so hopefully this movie better be good.

Why am I not even slightly surprised by the PG-13 mpaa rating?

OfflineUser offline. Last seen 3 weeks 6 days ago.

Well obviously the devil is trapped in the elevator because he wanted to be trapped in the elevator with those select people. Maybe it's time to cash in on a few souls. Lets face it, not like they can run far in an elevator >)

I have to admit... the trailer looks good, but that wont stop Night from fucking it up. Last Air Bender had an okay trailer, but sucked. This may not be directed by him, which is good, but, he is on the project, which is obvious, because it IS based off of something he did. I'll wait for this to come to dvd to see it... if at all. Stare

M. Night Shyamalan is in this? well he doesnt have a good rep after the last airbender it said because i guess rotten tomatoes gave that movie an awful rating and they are usually true.

But anways this movie is gonna be epic lol the Devil rides the elevator with a Deteive,a hooker,carrot top,Mr.T,The asian guy from the hangover and a middle eastern clown who wants to blow up the elevator

I say this movie is gonna be decent,Hopefully the devil blows his brains out because we all know Carrot top would piss him off and Mr.T would add on that lol

The premise sounds like a bad SNL skit. Right now, I'm not feeling anything good for it. But maybe when more info comes out, I might feel different.
