![]() ![]() Yes, the potential for the idea is there, but the execution is just bad. It's a slow, dull film with barely any scares at all. However, I'm here to warn you not to give in to what appears to be a fun, scary night at the movie theater. I suppose the film will open reasonably well in the box office like most found footage films with low budgets and make a cheap buck before disappearing off in the world. Grama, in particular, is incredibly bad as he tries to make his reactions and emotions feel real that it comes off as forced and awkward. I can't say much for the rest of the supporting cast, which includes Simon Quarterman, Evan Helmuth, and Ionut Grama. However, Suzan Crowley, in the few scenes that she's in, is rather good for what she had to work with. Fernanda Andrade, the female lead, is merely serviceable although nothing memorable. The cast don't do much to help elevate the film either. Note to all filmmakers: You don't want to anger audiences like that. Just as the film is starting to pick up momentum, it ends as if the filmmakers ran out of budget. With the many problems the film has, the film's biggest crime is the abrupt ending, which is like getting slapped in the face. Also, the documentary style serves more to harm than help the film, as every scene that should feel spontaneous and authentic, instead, feel rather staged. To say that the film was tedious to watch would be an understatement. The few, lazy, cheap scares the film has to offer, the only things left to salvage this dreck from a total waste, are few and far between. However, some of the ones that stand out are the incredibly slow pacing and the dull execution. As you can tell, there are many problems regarding the film. However, the trailer spoils all the "good," jolting parts in the film. And yes, THE DEVIL INSIDE is a bad film, unfortunately, although the incredible red band trailer suggests otherwise. Yes, many people will walk out feeling ripped off once the credits roll. Yes, the film produces more unintentional laughs than actual scares. If they want any more people to show up to their films in 2012, they should stop green-lighting films like THE DEVIL INSIDE, although dumping it in January seems like the best decision to forget the film ever existed by the end of the year. (Paramount Pictures) Just recently, Paramount Pictures was named the studio that topped the 2011 box office above all the other major studios. Many have been possessed by one only one has been possessed by many. When she recruits two young exorcists to cure her mom using unconventional methods combining both science and religion, they come face-to-face with pure evil in the form of four powerful demons possessing Maria. She travels to the Centrino Hospital for the Criminally Insane in Italy where her mother has been locked away to determine if her mother is mentally ill or demonically possessed. 20 years later, her daughter Isabella seeks to understand the truth about what happened that night. In 1989, emergency responders received a 9-1-1 call from Maria Rossi confessing that she had brutally killed three people. ![]()
