Story: The Devil's Dozen is a supernatural horror/thriller where twelve strangers find themselves in a life or death game where sins are judged and every choice a testament to their character. The innocent must strive to maintain their integrity, while the guilty can only hope their deaths lead to the truly innocent walking out alive.

Likes : The entire premise of The Devil's Dozen is pretty obvious to anyone who's a fan of portmanteau horror, twelve disparate strangers are thrown together in a room and must recount their past misdeeds. The gimmick here is that someone must be killed every twelve minutes and it's up to the group to ensure the sole survivor is the most righteous one. This has that tale of the crypt keeper feel to it but it not a brilliant film or an Oscar winner, with the ending it show it also has that film devil concept to it, but this is one film I wouldn't rush out to buy on DvD.
It is how ever a DvD you should rent first before paying out the price in the store for it, because it wasn't the greatest film to watch has this type of film has been done some many time there getting old.

Dislikes : Where do I start, the subplot to the script is seriously poor in telling the story because there is not back story of any reason given than the fact they have to kill each other, the actor was ok but it wasn't brilliant, there was a few actor that weren't convincing at all it felt wooden at time like they've fresh out of acting school or still students of acting.
The fact that the story is they have to kill each other in 12 minutes you don't get to feel or get a feeling for the characters because there no time to real get to know them & what they've done to realise why their there.it a very poor written film in script the concept is good but I think it could of been better.

Overall : Nothing special, acting is ok but sometime wooden, death scene are brutal, twist in the story.
 
Rating: 3.1 out of 5 for entertainment / 4.3 out of 10 for storyline/concept
