With Devil‘s September 17th release date barreling toward us faster than a runaway elevator down its shaft, Universal has unveiled three companion websites and a new clip, all of which should help increase anticipation for the film.

Along with the new assets, we also finally have an official synopsis, although it doesn’t really tell us anything we didn’t already know:

Welcome to Universal Pictures’ supernatural thriller with M. Night Shyamalan’s (The Sixth Sense, Signs) signature touch, Devil.

Directed by John Erick Dowdle (Quarantine, The Poughkeepsie Tapes) from a screenplay by Brian Nelson (Hard Candy, 30 Days of Night) and a story by Shyamalan, Devil stars Chris Messina (Julie & Julia), Logan Marshall-Green (Brooklyn’s Finest), Geoffrey Arend (500 Days of Summer), Bojana Novakovic (Drag Me to Hell), Jenny O’Hara (Mystic River), Bokeem Woodbine (The Last Sentinel), and Jacob Vargas (Death Race).

In the film a group of people is trapped in the elevator, and one of them is the devil.

Devil is produced by Shyamalan and Sam Mercer (The Sixth Sense) and executive produced by Drew Dowdle (Quarantine) and Trish Hofmann (The Ruins).
