While it's certainly not the worst movie ever made (if you think so you haven't seen enough movies), "The Devil Inside" is pretty bad. Whatever possessed the makers of this film to think this was a good project hopefully has been driven out of them by the bad press, bad box office but, more importantly, a good priest performing an exorcism rite. Perhaps the entire inspiration for this film is the fact that the filmmaker bit the inside of his lip and noticed it resembled an inverted cross and the entire film sprang from that.

This faux documentary focuses on Isabella Rossi (Fernanda Andrade from The Glades: The Complete First Season and Sons of Anarchy: Season Three)as she and a film crew try to uncover what happened when an exorcism involving her mother went horrible wrong resulting in the murder of three people. The film crew discovers a pair of priests (Simon Quarterman and Evan Helmuth)who are willing to assist them in their pursuit of the truth which, ultimately, results in an attempted exorcism of Isabella's mother (Susan Crowley).

The problem with the film isn't the acting nor the production values (although it was produced for a reported $1 million) but, instead, the weak writing/direction itself. There is the germ of a good idea here and it's different enough from all the other films about possession to make for a better film in someone else's hands (and clearly there's enough interest in the material itself as the film made $52 million in theaters).

The faux documentary genre has worn thin with increasingly pathetic films. This is the type of junk that I would expect to see on the grammatically challenged Syfy channel.

The DVD image quality is, as one would expect, a bit rough but that's part of the look of these type of films. Audio sounds fine with some nice directional use of the 5.1 mix particularly during some of the more action driven sequences.

Nothing worthwhile in the special features department although if you do go to the website listed at the conclusion of the film there are some youtube videos that look as cheap an inauthentic as the film itself.

"The Devil Inside" has an interesting idea but poor execution. The actors do a fine job with what they are given to work with and the practical/visual effects aren't bad. I doubt that "The Devil Inside" will scare most folks and it doesn't threaten to displace the better horror movies that tackle the same theme. If you must see this I'd wait for it to show up on cable.
