Don't know if this movie has ever been discussed here, but I just finished watching Devil on Netflix. The plot seemed kinda lame so I didn't really think it would be too good, and had I known going in this was an M Night Shyamalan flick, I probably would have passed on it since, aside from The Sixth Sense, I really haven't liked his movies. I gave it a chance because based on my viewing habits, Netflix gave it a very high rating for me. I figured if it sucked, I'd just turn it off after a while, but I was surprised that I actually liked it. It was a pretty good movie so I'm glad I gave it a chance.

I've been told it's a "So bad it's good" kinda film.

I don't know if so bad it's good works for this one. To me that's a movie that is just so over the top bad I can't help but be entertained by it. I've seen it twice and I thought it was OK. I didn't actively seek out watching it the second time, it was on, so I watched it. The story was OK and it had some good scare moments. I didn't think the acting was great, but I didn't think it was terrible either.
It killed time for me, middle of the road. I didn't love it and I didn't hate it.

Most people I spoke to that saw it said it was really dumb and made them laugh.

I didn't laugh, the second time I may have actually dozed a bit, but that's not a dig at the movie. I was really tired that day.

It wasn't by any means a great movie, but perhaps because I really had low expectations I was pleasantly surprised. I've seen plenty of sucky horror movies and I wouldn't put this one in that category at all. Don't go out of your way to see it, but if it's on and you have nothing better to do, give it a try.

No, it was a decent movie. I wouldn't have paid to see it in the theater, but it was OK as a home watch. My wife picked out who the "devil" was right away. I'm stupid and was guessing til the end.
