Life is short
When you're done, you're done
We're on this Earth to have some fun
And that's the way things are
When I'm human
And I'm gonna be
I'm gonna tear it up like I did before
That's a royal guarantee

The Devil Inside (2012)
I have been wanting to go back to my movie-reviewing days, but I haven’t really gotten enough time and will power lately. But I guess after horrifyingly unsatisfied by this movie, I was moved into doing one especially for it.
I would say that the best way to watch movies like this is with a bunch of other people in the theater who wouldn’t give a flying fuck about the movie itself. All the more reason for the unintentionally funny parts to be hilarious. Don’t get me wrong, the movie will definitely give the audience some chills and jumps every now and then, but not as much as the trailer promises you to have. As for a wimp like me, you’re definitely in for an hour and a half of I’ll-cover-my-eyes-for-now moments.
I have been intrigued by this movie mainly because it seemed different from all the other exorcism movies lately. It’s seemed more raw…at least that was what the trailer gave me. But as the critics’ reviews came in (combined with a friend’s negative comment), my hopes flopped for the movie, but I was still interested in seeing it.
It follows a young woman, Isabella, in her search for the truth about her mother, who reportedly murdered three people during her own exorcism. Teamed with a camera man and two newly acquainted priests, they set out to delve into a matter much worse than they ever imagined.
The main problem with this movie is that the plot makes millions (and I’m exaggerating but you’ll get it) of detours, therefore the integrity and strength of the main plot is deteriorated over time, so when it came to what supposed to be a climactic end, we just don’t care for it anymore. The plot is so crazy in fact that most of the movie’s scares didn’t even come from the main story line. One being the scene when the two priests exposed Isabella to a live exorcism, and the other was the death of one of the priests (which in my opinion is the highest point of the movie). After the priests death, it all goes downhill all the way to most disappointing ending I ever witnessed in my existence. Yes, I am all for a movie’s sudden cut to ending, but this one the movie didn’t necessarily end in the case of this one…it just cut.
I would say, no matter how brilliantly acted the movie was, nothing can save a very lackluster writing. For the average thrill seekers, I would say give it a whirl, but don’t keep your hopes up…that will definitely help.
Rating: 2.3 of 5
