12 people who appear to be already dead are placed together in a room where they must judge the most guilty and most innocent, with only one getting a "second chance." They must kill someone every 12 minutes or else it will be done for them, which would have been my one and only option. Some of the people are a preacher, Air Force member, robber, CEO, lawyer, cop, banker, mom etc. all the usual suspects. Their stories were pretty bad and their story telling was worse. The acting was sad all around as I was hoping they would all die slow horrible deaths. A rather pointless film.Difficult to sit through. Doesn't work as a rental.Parental Guide: F-bombs. No sex or nudity.

Okay first off I would like to say always consider a movies budget. Now of course I know that sometimes you still get good movies from lower financed films.OK from this point if you have not seen the film This Is A Spoiler!Okay let's look at the actors first. The only actors I recognize is Omar Gooding which is Cuba Gooding Brother. I also recognize Eric Roberts which is Julia Roberts brother. There is also a couple of other familiar faces. These actors have been in decent films. But they aren't A list actors from a long shot. Keep this in mind. Everyone else is pretty much no names or at least don't stand out among elites. So already that sums up your acting core. And that being said you can't expect much more than just that Again I'm not making excuses but the talent just wasn't there. Now on to the acting. It wasn't excellent , it wasn't horrific. Given for what was available it was decent. Nothing more nothing less. It has comical moments that will keep you chuckling to blend in with the suspense. A lot of people mention that this movie was about killing and having 12 minutes to do so. But I seen a deeper message in fact it mentions in the beginning that they had to kill the person who was the guiltiest. And it seems like no one ever thought about what if they killed the little brunette that kept whining. which turned out to be the main reason. How would that have of affected everyone else's role? Who actually went to heaven and who went to hell?Would you have enough heart to die for the sake of not harming another human being to save yourself? When you see a person, do things always seem as they appear? These are the things you have to ask yourself... I watched the movie about 3 times already , and to be honest I enjoyed it. If you're not afraid of everyday things that make you think, even the little things its at least worth a watch. The Painting in the room revealed many messages...

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.

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.So herein lie the two big issues with this film. Firstly, as someone who's enjoyed the likes of the Vault of Horror and Tales from the Crypt movies, I knew pretty much how it was going to end. Secondly, as eleven people have to die in about seventy minutes, there's no time to develop any of the characters, so they end up as crude stereotypes.Its only saving grace is that, for something clearly filmed on a micro-budget, the production values are pretty good.This would — with fewer characters and less gore — have made a pretty good episode of The Twilight Zone. But I wouldn't recommend it as a film.
