1. Obviously, the non-commercial ending at the end makes many students who are used to "blockbuster" unbearable.
2. The devil has changed from "invisible" to tangible, which somewhat weakens the deterrent effect of such works with devil as the theme.
3. For those who are inclined to religious beliefs (actually referring to the following people), they lament that the religious component is pitiful, and they are completely deceived by the inverted cross on the poster.
4. Understand the starting point of directors and screenwriters who want to make money while telling stories and putting their own thoughts into it. However, it is obvious that the results are not flattering: those who only want to be addicted to excitement think the ending is hypocritical, and those who want to shock their hearts, I found that except for the sentence "I forgive you", other parts are very commercial. Therefore, there is suspicion that the screenwriter and director have not found a balance between business and sufficient connotation, and the relationship between the two in the film appears alienated and abrupt.
5. Thought the whole story only happened in the elevator. If so, would it be possible to make a good thriller?

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.
