Devil (2010): Well, You Know…
This one stands out because it’s the only one on the list that Shyamalan didn’t write or direct. But it was based on a story he created, so it’s still his vision. The premise is simple: “What if a bunch of people were stuck in an elevator… and one of them was the Devil?” Did it work? Eh. But it’s a great premise and one that plays on a very basic fear of being trapped with someone who’s far more evil than you know. Who can you trust? It’s a theme that was explored even more in the next film.
