Review: The Devil Inside
MikePA - wrote on 08/21/2012
You wanna see low-rent horror filmmaking? Check out The Devil Inside, a movie that starts off promising, but falls apart after the first twenty minutes due to an overdose of "found-footage" style bullsh*t and inconsistent pacing. This is a boring movie. Flat-out. Besides a moment or two that's somewhat interesting, The Devil Inside has almost nothing to offer the unfortunate viewer who has to spend the longest 82 minutes of their life sitting through it. We see about four exorcisms in the film, and not one of them beat a single pulse. They're not remotely scary or disturbing. What I think is disturbing is that this film made it through pre-production. Here is a movie trying to sell itself as being horror, yet there isn't a moment of terror or suspense to be found. It honestly upsets me …

The Devil Inside review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 08/20/2012
An overdone formula with disturbing moments instead of entertaining and scary. Maria Rossi (Suzan Crowley) calls 911 to inform the caller of 3 people she murdered. Isabella (Fernanda Andrade) meets with Ben (Simon Quarterman) and David (Evan Helmuth) to film and learn more about exorcisms. The acting and effects were at par with Paranormal Activity. The movie suffers from its dull explanations about the topic, sequences of pointless suicide/killing a baby being baptized, disappointing conclusion and it's overall premise. One cannot comprehend how the scenes were supposedly filmed where all the characters were present on screen, maybe they have such high tech camera's that it automatically shoots. It lacks the emotion, element of surprise or even spooky details that make a horror …

A Snore of a Horror Film with a Terrible Ending

I find supernatural horror films particularly scary, so, by the very nature of vaguely following some staples of the genre, The Devil Inside is unsettling. Its premise, in fact, is a smart one, but the execution is completely routine and removes a lot of the fear potential from the film. We aren't given any time to get to know the characters, a problem which renders the chaotic final act moot (since we don't care about the characters, we don't care about the peril they are placed into.) A lot of the acting and dialogue is poor and the film doesn't really branch out in any radical direction in the genre. The Exorcist will reign supreme as one of the scariest horror films of all time, but even lesser movies, such as the Omen or even Paranormal Activity are far superior to this …

Finally a "documentary" worth watching!

When I started watching this movie I had no opinions in one way or another as I knew nothing about it. As I have written in previous reviews, I really don't like "homemade documentaries" like Paranormal activity etc. etc. as they tend to be dominated by terrible camerawork to make it get that homemade feel, and well they are quite frankly not scary. I've seen quite a few exorsism movies as well and most of them have been bad, apart from well you know, The exorsist.
For starters the camerawork in this movie was good. The actors were good as well, and the script was well written and it doesn't take long before you get into the story and I at least at some level cared what happened to the lead actor. That's allways a good sign. This movie wants you to belive it and it deliver in a …
