It’s unfortunate that M. Night Shyamalan has become a mockery in Hollywood. Once crowned the new prince of the modern day thriller, he stumbled with “Lady in the Water” and has yet to recover. “Devil” is the first of three flicks of what have been dubbed “The Night Chronicles” and I was surprised to find that movie had its share of jumps, scares and few twists. However, in typical horror-flick fashion, “Devil” goes heavy on suspicious stares and a good amount of blood instead of focusing on story, and that’s what clips its pointy wings.
