Better done with that Twilight Zone episode

Too long, too still, too monotone. These things need to be measured and have a tempo. Questions needed to be asked that these characters don't. How, why, what led him to this conclusion. He explains this to his own satisfaction, but certainly that shouldn't be enough to the others. Unplugged Tv and telephone ringing could have definitely been used as forces of interruption and movement of the main character, but wasn't enough.With the calm dialog and quietness set to create a mood of a possible evil held below or sensitive insanity, there needs to be something that moves us along. It was like walking into a quiet house, having a quiet conversation, having a drink waiting for something to happen in a dimly lit place. Could be much better.

A non-starter

I TRAPPED THE DEVIL is a cheap little horror film set in a single house where a crazy guy claims to have trapped the Devil himself in his own basement. The story begins when his family show up for Christmas and what plays out is a kind of battle of wits between the different characters, although I use the term "battle" very loosely as there's no excitement, suspense or interest present here. Inevitably as a modern horror flick it has its share of gory moments, but the attempts at creating fear are laughably inept and the whole thing feels like a non-starter.
