Screaming_egg Slow, "deep wanna-be", pretentious, nonsensial, story is not explained properly. They were obviously bored to write a proper scenario. Jumps from scene to scene without any logic. Obviously another attempt to be "deep" failed massively.
TheLittleSongbird 'Demon Inside' drew me into seeing it, with a cool poster/cover, an intriguing and quite creative premise and as someone with a general appreciation for horror. That it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there, made me though apprehensive. It is sadly however yet another film seen recently, hence some reiteration because the exact same strengths and flaws are here present in those films, that to me was incredibly disappointing considering its potential which it doesn't do anywhere near enough with. 'Demon Inside' is very weak, with a plethora of problems (fairly big ones too) and doesn't do enough with its potential, which was hardly small. There are however a couple of decent, even good, qualities in 'Demon Inside'.Lets start with the positives. The scenery is atmospheric and spooky and is not too schlocky, some decent shots here.Best thing about 'Demon Inside' is the opening, which was attention grabbing and kept me hooked. Which is why it is such a shame that 'Demon Inside' went downhill so drastically.Going on further to the negatives, the story does feel over-stretched and some of it feels vague, under-explained in the last third where the film especially became duller, more predictable, more senseless and less scary. Too many characters are too sketchy and with nowhere near enough to make one want to endear to them. Their irritating and illogical decision making and behaviours frustrates. Making the film feel bland and forgettable with not enough heart put into it. The effects are ropy at best, the sound quality is obvious and utilised cheaply (being too loud in the build ups and people's reactions) and it's best not mentioning the histrionic and stiff acting.Dialogue can be stilted and rambling while the pace goes to a standstill after the promising opening and drags on forever, never recovering. The second half is interminable. Found too many the supposedly shocking moments not surprising or scary and the supposedly creepy atmosphere dreary, due to the excessive obviousness and the lack of tension and suspense. A lot of 'Demon Inside' has underdeveloped plot elements and often nonsensical, irritating and confusing character motivations, while too many of the things to make you jump or shocked are far from creative or scary and are pretty tame. The ending finishes the film on an incomplete and confused whimper. The whole of 'Demon Inside' felt unfinished but especially so at the end where it just ends with too much left hanging in the air.There is not enough threat here and what there is of it tends to be used poorly, while the psychological elements are unimaginative and are more odd than scary, completely failing to show the horror of the subject. Some badly sagging momentum too. The direction is pretty leaden, got the sense their heart was not in it, and the music doesn't really fit.Concluding, very weak. 3/10 Bethany Cox
Punxsu This is a hard one to review without any kind of spoilers so let's talk about the reason i rated this movie higher than average. I like horror movies that give you something to think and not just jump-scare you over and over again. And this one has some really new ideas that go into this horror puzzle. There are many different aspects in the main story and the characters that are not that common. I like the kind of craziness and claustrophobic feelings that some scenes of this movie give you. Maybe the story is not enough for a long movie and could have been better for a short-movie, but for me it worked. It wasn't very scary, but it gave me this uncomfortable feeling of not getting the whole puzzle together even though the movie gives you enough clues. I would say don't expect a highly shocking film, but open your mind for a good story that basically takes place in one apartment.
Carlos Alfonso Cortina Arce I went to watch this movie, not expecting too much, at first i thought it would be some scary story , guided by only the name. The beginning was good a very intense scene she the main character (Marta) is raped, then i thought OK!, maybe the man that raped her was possessed by some kind of demon, because Marta is a psychic. Then she secludes herself in an apartment hiding from the rapist, like any victim would normally do. After that, the movie makes no sense, it becomes some kind of paranormal activity combined with something like Disturbia , and a little bit of American horror Story Coven. I just felt like the movie tried to use too many sub-stories and at the end failed to give them coherence. The acting was good at least from Gala Montes, that its almost the only person you see on screen, the rape scene at the beginning of the movie was brutal, pretty strong and really good dramatization, i really liked the way it was presented, and overall the theme of the rape was pretty good, i think that maybe if the ghost part hadn't been added and they developed more the emotional states of the victim after the event, it would have been a terrific movie, then again it was boring.
