"Devil in the Elevator" poster
movie only lasts more than 80 minutes, and the plot is also very simple. It is about the story of the devil gathering some guilty people into the elevator, and then killing them one by one.

But the highlight of the movie is that the devil did not show up until the last moment. During the period, the director did not render the devil too much, making the audience feel that the murder was caused by someone in the elevator. For, and other strange events are just coincidences.

Actually, demons don't kill randomly. The 5 people gathered in the elevator (the devil also took great pains to gather 5 unknown people in an elevator),
5 were all guilty people, and each of them was directly or indirectly carrying a murder. Temporary black security guards seem to have only criminal convictions, but in fact they are habitual murderers; the man in suit is a liar, and he engages in a Ponzi scheme, killing many people. Tony, who came to apply for the job, seemed not bad, but was the fugitive who drove to death the police’s wife and children five years ago (this actually explains the plot of someone jumping off the building to commit suicide at the beginning of the movie. It was the devil who wanted the police to come to investigate the case. Kill tony in front of the police). That beauty is also a liar, and is good at instigating discord and instigating others. But this is not guilty of death. I guess the devil didn't want to kill this woman at first, but in the end he lied to Tony, and the devil did it. And the old woman was a thief.

Such plots are actually quite common in American dramas. Western religions have always preached a view that guilty people must confess and beg God for forgiveness, otherwise they will be taken to hell by the devil. At the end of the movie, when Tony said his previous sins, the devil said angrily, damn, I wanted to take you away. This plot also verified this point of view. This view coincides with our concept of "put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha" and "man is doing it, and the sky is watching". The last line of the
movie is also the core idea of this movie: Don't worry, she'd say, if the devil is real, then God must be real too. Don’t worry if the devil is real, so is God. Different from other thriller movies like secret room murder without emotion, the religious meaning reflected in the whole movie of is the most worthy of our reflection.
