GRRR, didn't notice the picture on the first post in this thread, it was only when I looked at the film description that I realised I have seen this film!

I agree the elevator should have been glass for all the world to see, that would have been well spooky!

But you know I might just take another peak, 'cos I really can't remember how it ended!

LOL - don't worry Linda - I have family members still send me crds with the other spelling. Ah! I just remembered a dream I had last night LOL, odd when that happens. Yeah, I thought they could've made the whole elevator theme creepier. That scene from 'The towering inferno' with the glass elevator was SO scary. That whole film was scary actually - but I can't stand heights LOL.

Just watched the end of it. If the devil is real, then God must be real too.

I had forgotten the ending totally. I wonder why 333 was the number of the building? Only half a devil? One of the lesser afrits?

Towering Inferno, now that was a scary film. Only because it could, and has happened! I don't mind heights, I just can't stand other people standing near an edge! I always think they are gonna fall! Makes me feel sick!

I wrote I have a friend called Stephen, it is actually my brother! LOL Steven I think I am going insane!!

Okay did I miss what the dream was, gone over my head, or didn't you say.. madness night LOL

Great review Steven!

I thought Devil was an awesome movie. I love horror flicks, and that old lady was creepy as hell with her eyes blacked out! I don't like elevators anyway, and it gave me one more reason to like them even less...

I LOVE Towering Inferno. That is one film I can watch over and over again.

I've seen Towering Inferno SO many times - it's a really sad film, but it's brilliant. I hate the scene where the girl can't breathe and she's trying to stop the smoke getting in, and in the end she jumps out the window - that was sad. And the lady in the lift (I hate elevators too) so I can't stand anything like that - especially glass ones on the outside of buildings LOL. And when they all have to go across on that tiny chair thousands of miles up - agh - I think I'd pass out haha.

So many superb actors in that movie.

I haven't seen the movie (too frightening!) But just a thought about the building number 333. The number 3 represents the Holy Trinity (The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost). Perhaps the screenwriter wanted to send a powerful symbolic message of how the devil invaded and took possession of what was holy?

Steven, I agree - many, many superb actors. I fell in love with Steve McQueen in that movie. I've always been a Fred Astaire fan. Even the Brady bunch kid was pretty good. I have a copy on DVD and I watch it often...unlike this film Sanctum that I've re-started now for the 4th time because I just can't get into it.

Yeah, the Brady Bunch movie was really funny. I love so many of the older 50's movies too.

I think the 333 in Devil stood for the fact the director was going to do 3 movies all about the devil - this was the first one, and yeah it could also have represented the Holy Trinity.

I've seen in shows on the paranormal where when there's a home with demonic activity, 3:33 am is a common time for the activity to occur - it's supposed to be like a slap in the face to the Divine, I think.
