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

  • Young Woman: It feels like something *bit* me!

  • Ramirez: Everybody believes in him a little bit, even guys like you who pretend they don't.

    [Detective Bowden takes out a small folded piece of paper and throws it to Ramirez that reads "Im so sorry"]

    Ramirez: What's this?

    Detective Bowden: An apology note left at the site of a hit and run. My wife and son were killed out on Bethlaham Pike five years ago, but that's OK, because whoever did it is *sorry*. You can tell by the heartfelt apology on the back of a carwash coupon.

    [pause]

    Detective Bowden: So no, I don't believe in the Devil. You don't need him, people are bad enough by themselves.
