Devil movie review

In the face of the Devil, there are no coincidences. The Devil comes in all shapes and forms. He wreaks havoc on those who refuse to acknowledge their sins. John Erick Dowdie's Devil movie shows that the worst people on Earth can be forgiven. Devil movies teach humans that no soul is safe, though confessing sinners nonetheless escape the Devil.

A group of people are drawn together into an elevator. Three men and two women ride the elevator. All of a sudden the elevator breaks down. Outside of the building, Detective Bowden (played by Chris Messina) investigates a mysterious suicide. Is it a coincidence the dead victim is holding a rosary in their hand?    

Moments prior, Detective Bowden reveals his lack of faith derived from a hit and run accident that killed his wife and son five years earlier. The culprit left a note, "I'm so sorry" on his wife's car. A guard (Bookeem Woodbine), a young beautiful woman (Bojana Novakovic), salesman (Geoffrey Arend), old woman (Jenny O'Hara), and mechanic (Logan Marshall-Green) meet their fate.

Strange things begin to occur in the elevator. Thus, the elevator occupants die off one by one. Security guard Ramirez (Jacob Vargas) senses the Devil is at work because every event on that particular day points to judgment day. The sinners in the elevator will meet the Devil up close and personal. In the form of a deceased occupant, the Devil confronts the mechanic. He represents the last victim that survives in the elevator. The mechanic confesses his sin of killing a wife and son in a hit and run accident.

Detective Bowden realizes Ramirez is right about the Devil. It is no accident the Devil is making an example out of the sinners. Bowden accepts the task to transport the mechanic to jail. He tells the young man that he has waited for that moment for 5 years to tell him all the bad things he wanted to do to the person who took his family. Bowden forgives the young man who killed his wife and son.

The Devil movie is a religious movie that shows the Devil works in mysterious ways to confront sinners. Satan knows the bad things that people have done, so forgiveness represents a force stronger than evil itself. Watch Devil with an open mind to realize that coincidences in the face of religion are no accident.

The Devil Inside movie review

The sold out 10:20PM showing of William Brent Bell and Joaquin Perea's The Devil Inside movie proved to be extremely popular. Moviegoers waited in a long line that wrapped around the middle of the movie theater and on all the way to the front entrance. The Devil Inside movie is an exorcism movie that injects fear into moviegoers who enjoy a good scare on a Friday night. With a running time of 87 minutes, the movie moves rather quickly to the final climatic scene.

Maria Rossi (played by Suzan Crowley) calls 911 to report a gruesome murder. The 911 operator learns that Maria brutally murdered three Church servants. Disturbing footage from within the home reveals three bloody bodies. The police take Maria into custody, where her sinister stare from inside the police car spooks the movie audience. Is this woman possessed by demons or is she a nut case who snapped?

Maria's super hot daughter Isabella Rossi (played by sexy Brazilian Fernanda Andrade) made me forget the movie was about an exorcism. Isabella resembles a younger version of Jennifer Lopez, who hypnotizes male moviegoers with her natural beauty. While Isabella speaks to the cameraman, we immediately discover The Devil Inside movie chooses to explore a documentary filmmaking style to create realism in exorcisms.

Isabella travels to Italy to investigate her mother's past. She attends the Church's Exorcism school to mine for facts about demonic possessions. In that moment in time, the Exorcist teacher shows the room a videotape of a woman which sparks a debate regarding whether she is possessed or mentally insane. It is revealed that multiple demonic possessions are possibly in the possessed.

Isabella interviews the Priests to gain an understanding of an exorcisms. The foreign accents make for a rather interesting tone, giving The Devil Inside some authenticity to depict the world capital of Exorcist teaching. Isabella learns that her mother is more troubled than she anticipated. Maria knows that Isabella terminated her pregnancy due to complications. Moreover, the mother shows cut wounds on her forearms and on her lower lip.


Ben (Simon Quarterman) and David (Evan Helmuth) convince Isabella to attend an unauthorized exorcism to experience the process firsthand. Isabella agrees to take part in a young woman's exorcism. The eerie exorcism shocks the hell out of the team, though the Exorcists manage to free the young woman from her demonic possession.

The most challenging exorcism (Maria multiple demonic possession) exposes the entire Exorcist team to the demons living inside Maria for the past 20 years. To avoid spoiling The Devil Inside movie plot, the unorthodox bending, crawling, foul language, inverted crosses, and mighty superpowers displayed in The Devil Inside movie lead moviegoers to an abrupt movie ending.

The Devil Inside movie is the first exorcism movie to be released in the movie box office in 2012. The exorcism movie is performing strong in its first weekend in release. We can expect The Devil Inside to slow down since the movie ending disappointed many moviegoers. If you decide to watch the Devil Inside movie, be prepared to explore the evil inside the exorcism world. You have be warned!
