Sinopsis(1)
En 1989, los servicios de emergencia recibieron una llamada al 112 de Maria Rossi (Suzan Crowley) confesando que había asesinado brutalmente a tres personas. 20 años después, su hija Isabel (Fernanda Andrade), trata de comprender la verdad de lo sucedido esa noche y viaja al Hospital de Centrino para depravados mentales en Italia, donde su madre ha sido encerrada para determinar si es una enferma mental o está poseída por demonios. Isabel decide reclutar a dos jóvenes exorcistas (Simon Quarterman y Evan Helmuth) que podrían curar a su madre usando métodos poco convencionales que combinan la ciencia y la religión y terminan enfrentándose cara a cara con el mal en estado puro en forma de cuatro poderosos demonios que poseen a María. Muchos han sido poseídos por uno, sólo una ha sido poseída por muchos. (Paramount Pictures España)

A great example of a film where you can not spoil the ending because there isn’t one. The Devil Inside is very poorly written, the characters behave in unlikely ways and the plot, rather than a complex story leading somewhere, is a sequence of unrelated scenes. Despite all these problems, which are a lot, in the second and third act, the film manages to hold some semblance of atmosphere. The horror scenes, which aren’t intended to move the plot forward, are well executed and feel unpleasant; they are effective. That’s mainly because, with the documentary style it uses, which looks almost abnormally ugly with its washed out colours, it’s pretty easy to conjure an unpleasant atmosphere. When they are performing the exorcisms or the possessed start jumping, it’s quite good... Unfortunately though, it’s mostly boring blabbing about nothing, it’s not worth recommending.

I strongly suspect that the Vatican had this movie custom made to make us all believe in exorcism. By the way, could somebody explain to me why in most cases exorcism is performed on women?

The objective quality is clearly worth 2*, but I’m going to be good again and turn a blind eye, if only for Fernanda Andrade, who was very nice to watch except for the last few minutes. The script for The Devil Inside combines all the clichés of exorcism movies (which would be fine), but it does so clumsily, mechanically and, above all, boringly that it undermines itself and makes the story a patchwork of scenes with no greater build-up and no twist. Fortunately, the documentary style was a hit; the amateurish camera and the dark, disgustingly faded sets manage to create the kind of atmosphere everyone imagines in connection with the devil during the horror scenes, and the image is not unnecessarily shaky, so you are able to orient yourself quite well. Unfortunately, the theme of exorcism has been almost exhausted since The Exorcist and it would be nice if someone came up with something truly extraordinary, so that quality could overshadow quantity, which is not the case here. 55%

I’m not a huge fan of films about the exorcism of various kinds of demons from the infernal hierarchy, so my excuse is that I got to see this film by a mere coincidence. Plus, when I found out it was filmed in the same way as The Blair Witch Project, I was sure I would give it a low rating, but eventually it turned out that the film had a pretty decent unsettling atmosphere, the priest mortality rate was satisfactory, and it wasn’t boring.

The problem with all such films, for example, Paranormal Activity, is that the audience already knows what to expect, so they aren't surprised when it happens. The creators really lack any innovation and simply rely on the pseudo-documentary style of the film to give it weight, assuming that audiences will be satisfied. Unfortunately, I was not satisfied. I believe this method was effective for a few films in the past, but nowadays, without any innovation, it's impossible to capture interest.
