Has anyone taken this one for a ride yet?

I guess I'll give my two cents on M Night's latest attempt - IMHO he's back in the driver's seat with Devil...sort of. But did he re-discover his lost Mojo with this flick? My take, he's written a wonderful Twilight Zone Episode here. Not necessarily a scary movie per say, but, GREAT mis-direction on the "who's the killer?" aspect for sure (no spoilers here). I can see how many critics may say that this flick doesn't have real depth worth giving it a good grade. So, is Devil an unqualified success to me? Im my mind, only if we judge M Night against other M Night last blunders. It has good pace and excellent mis-direction, some unique surprises and the acting is very solid. It is simplistic and short.....as any great Twilight Zone episode typically feels.

Is    a 3 out of 5 star rating? I was looking this flick over myself as I haven't had me a doubleheader afternoon matinee in weeks now.

O.K., three smiley faces was just my demeanor at the moment of my post. Here's a rating breakdown just for you! On a scale of 1-5 smiley faces.

- Tone 
- Story line 
- Story depth 
- acting 
- casting 
- cinematography 
- predictability 
- length of movie 
- blood and guts 
- Scariness 
- value for nine bucks 
- value for matinee bucks? 

Hopefully I've drawn more clarity to my initial post

Looks like I'll have to spend some quality time to cypher this rating. 
 
Thanks.

Great movie.  M. Night has (sort of) redeemed himself.

Cool... I think I'll move it from my Avoid At All Costs list to my Grab It When It Hits Redbox list.
