I'd rate it ** (out of 4) but I think the biggest problem is that it's simply not scary. The entire "documentary footage" might be losing some of its punch but I think the biggest problem is that it's just another horror film that was simply made to have a big weekend and it got it. The performances are actually good but the direction, story and outcome just don't work.

SPOILER- After the mothers exorcism I pretty much knew what was going to happen to the people who performed the exorcism. if you really want to see this one I'd red box it.

Jan 24 12 3:34 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I read an article about how this was the worst movie ending ever. They described exactly how the ending goes, and it sure does sound like the worst ending ever.... there was even a video of an audience getting furous when they watched it. My girlfriend wanted to see it until the reviews came out. I'll probably watch it on netflix at some point and just enjoy it up until the end. A perfect Monster has no end...

There's a Slate.com article about it and describes exactly what happens, if you don't mind spoilers. They linked to a youtube video of people groaning and reacting when they realized that that was the ending. I believe the title was "Does The Devil Inside Have The Worst Ending In Movie History?" Here it is, but it does give away everything: http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2012/01/09/the_devil_inside_ending_is_it_the_worst_ever_and_why_do_people_hate_it_.html The video link has expired.

Jan 24 12 10:12 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Once the twist is easily given away I didn't have a problem with the ending. SPOILERS Yes, it didn't answer questions about the mother, which was the whole point of the movie but I think they wanted the end to be a big "shock" but by the time it happened it was just too obvious. I still don't know why how it ended is rubbing people so poorly.

Jan 24 12 11:25 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I think I'm starting to get tired of these documentary type films. They are starting to get old and the last few I've seen just haven't been that good. I did like Cloverfield, Blair Witch Project, Quarantine, and Troll Hunter, to name a few, but lately The Fourth Kind, The Last Exorcism and this one just didn't do it for me.

May 20 12 4:51 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I just watched this on Pay per View and thought it was good, silly fun. It probably plays a lot of better on TV than in the movie theater where I can understand an audience reacting badly to the abrupt ending. It had a huge opening weekend and I can see people reacting negatively to the hype than to the film itself which is pretty modest.

May 20 12 8:43 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	i just finished watching the blu-ray. i do not know how it would have come off in a theater but watching it alone in my apartment on my 19 inch flatscreen tv it came across as an effective horror film that creped me out.which is not easy for a movie to do. do not expect the feel of a blockbuster and accept it for what it is and you may like it.

May 24 12 10:35 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Just watched this via Netflix disk. I pretty much go along with what Michael Elliott says above. The documentary style flattened all the possible scary parts. The film was well-produced, directed, and acted for the most part. I didn't have a problem with the ending although my DVD player registered 75 minutes when the screen blacked out and the credits began. It was abrupt, but what could have been added other than more of the same? Those Slate people have too much time on their hands. The most interesting thing about the entire DVD release was that Paramount put its logo right up top and in your face, then followed with three or four trailers for major releases like The Dictator, the new Mission: Impossible, and the GI Joe movie that hasn't shown up in theaters yet. That suggested to me that Paramount was really pushing this film, or at least using it to generate interest in other productions. I dunno. It just seemed weird for a 75-minute mockumentary horror film. Certainly not the worst film I've seen, but rather average at best. ... Reed

May 24 12 11:31 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I just finished watching it. Nothing to get excited about. I'm a sucker for a good exorcism movie, but this wasn't it. In fact, the last decent exorcism movie I saw was....uuuuh....maybe...uuum...oh. The "found footage" approach added absolutely nothing to the exorcism sub-genre. I've enjoyed a few of those such as Quarantine and Cloverfield, but I do believe that with this offering, it has run its course. No scares, a couple of suspenseful build-ups with no payoff and a disappointing ending. I don't see what all the hoopla is about that abrupt ending, though. Had it been some compelling, edge of your seat, nail biter then you may have expected more. But, considering what you got for 80 minutes or so, what could have been expected? Something good? Oh, well, on to the next one.
