One of the first questions we will ask for crime-type movies (not first-person) is "Who is the criminal?", and secondly. It is "How did he commit a crime?" These two basic questions constitute the most exciting part of a crime movie, so once the supernatural elements are mixed in, these two basic questions lose their original appeal because of the mysterious power. It is not surprising to do anything, and there is no need for a logical explanation.

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.
