** As mentioned by the WebVideo/NostalgiaCritic, having the Devil's identity be both almost completely foreshadowed and one of the suspects who died means there was no way for a viewer to actually solve the mystery so all they have to look forward to is the twist. Instead, it could have been revealed to be the security guard since he both isn't someone you'd easily suspect but there are still clues that point to him when you look back. He's the one who gives everyone the idea that the Devil is present in the first place, he's strangely and accurately familiar with the Devil information when no one else has heard of these specific superstitions, he has free constant surveillance of the elevator, and actions like suddenly saying a hasty Spanish prayer over the speaker would clearly only create more panic but gives him plausible deniability that he was trying to help.
