Storyline: 
Supernatural thriller "Devil" (also known as "The Night Chronicles: Devil") is the first of three features that M. Night Shyamalan will produce through The Night Chronicles.

psychological thriller. 

Well, when I first read a review last year saying that this movie was one of the best movies by M.Night Shyamalan since "The Sixth Sense", I thought to myself that I should watch this movie. And this film did not fail me.

The simple straight foward storyline.
But the plot was suspense from start til the end. 
It was like a cross between Final Destination & a little of those kind of "claustrophobic thriller".
At the end of the movie, it really comes to a lesson & makes the audience think. 

If you love physchological thrillers & suspense films, I suggest you to watch this. It's out on DVD & VCD. :)


My Rating?

Plot : 4.75/5
Storyline : 3.5/5
Acting*:4.5/5 
Scoring** : 3.75/5
OVERALL : 8.5/10.
