Maybe it's been a long time since I watched a horror thriller. Watching this film, I feel quite good.

There's nothing new in the plot, and the core contradictions and suspense are the same ones used in old horror films: is there a rationale for everything or is it just supernatural ghosts?
However, the tension of the film is well grasped, and the plot and suspense are introduced into the depths step by step. In addition, although this uses a religious causal explanation, the film itself does not have the performance of preaching and indoctrination at all, but simply describes a horror story.

Devil quotes

  • [last lines]

    Ramirez: [voiceover] After my mother would finish her story, she would always comfort us. "Don't worry," she'd say. "If the Devil is real, then God must be real, too."

  • [first lines]

    Ramirez: [voiceover] When I was a child, my mother would tell me a story about how the Devil roams the Earth. Sometimes, she said, he would take human form so he could punish the damned on Earth before claiming their souls. The ones he chose would be gathered together and tortured as he hid amongst them, pretending to be one of them. I always believed my mother was telling me an old wives' tale.
