Devil

      Devil (2010) is the first movie in The Night Chronicles trilogy.  It is written, but not directed, by M. Night Shyamalan (Signs, Lady in the Water, Unbreakable, The Village) Shyamalan wanted to try his hand at producing some of his ideas, the supernatural in a modern urban society.  You could actually find yourself in the particular situation.  I really enjoy M. Night Shyamalan films; I love his writing style, his directing style, all of it!
     The opening shot is awesome! It is your typical helicopter shot of a city, however the whole thing is upside down as it takes you through the city.  I don’t want to say to much about the movie because, in the style of Shyamalan, it would give the twists away.  The story of Devil comes from a folktale called The Devils Meeting” in which the Devil roams the earth in human form torturing the living before he kills them. The folktale is told in the movie in a creative way.  I know it may not sound very good from that story, but it really is.  It is a fascinating story with an intriguing ending.
