Review of The Devil Inside (2012) by Steve W — 19 Aug 2013

If you make a film about demonic possession, offer something new that we haven't seen before. I'm not talking about just the contorted bodies and talking in tongues, but they offer something great with a demon that could jump from body to body just terrorizing every human.

..but then after this great idea and making you want even more, they pull the rug out from under you. Also, when did the demons get such a potty mouth? Taking a page from The Exorcist? The film does copy off of previous possession films which makes it not as original.

The characters are unbelievable and not sympathetic so you don't care about what happens to them. There are some good little scares with the mother who the film is somewhat centered around with her possession, what a chilling performance.

However with a horrible ending, the movie is just ruined. The audience comes wanting to be entertained, not feel like they just got slapped in the face as the director is counting their money laughing to the bank.
