Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Devil (2010)

Five people trapped in an elevator are being picked off one by one.  That sounds like it could be good, but it's really not.  There's too much voiceover legend surrounding what happens ("my mother used to say...") and having the action viewed by an audience makes what's going on feel temporary instead of like it's everything.

It's not scary.  Bad move for a horror flick.
