User Reviews for: The Five Devils

Léa Mysius has created a fascinating study here in The Five Devils. It reminds me a lot of Kubrick's horror, The Shining. Both films revolve around a protagonist that is a child gifted with the "Shining", the gift of "seeing" what others do not. The common thread is that the gift is really a metaphor for how much adults underestimate what a child sees, hears, and understands.

Mysius uses magic surrealism as the vehicle for her exposition. It's quite charming and exciting. It's very well done and worth the accolades, even though I felt the script had just a few faults that took me away from complete enjoyment.
