Not bad. Overall, pretty disturbing, but I guess that's why we watch this stuff, isn't it? My main gripes are that, kinda like Bedevilled, the main characters made me pretty sick throughout, so I had a hard time liking anything about them. The overall premise made me feel dirty for watching it, moreso than, say, a rape/revenge movie like I Spit On Your Grave. And then, squeezing green pus out of the girl's bullet holes and then implying they'll be used for sexual purposes... That is too much, even for me.
On the plus side, the exploration of human psychology and the limits of morality was intriguing. It was interesting to see the jocks utterly disgusted at first, as they should be, only to be goated into participating in the atrocious festivities. And the dream-like sequence with the dead girl snarling and popping out at the viewer -- brilliant. I jumped in shock, and was also left with goosebumps. Awesome scene.
6/10.

I love that film especially the bit where the guy has to get "sloppy seconds".

Since M. Night Shamalama-ding-dong was discovered to be a mere mortal, his output has been pretty heavily scrutinized. I actually liked The Village, which many hated, but hated The Happening. This movie was only given one star by Comcast/Xfinity. After watching it, I am baffled as to why. I loved every minute of it.
7/10.

Couldn't agree more-I too liked The Village saw it at the cinema which I think helped but despise The Happening. It was unbearably bad. And I enjoyed Devil not as much as Signs but it was quite good :)
