befoulmetalroosa This movie had barking dogs. And deep, sinister laughter. And high-pitched cackling. And a naked demon that liked to crawl into the bed of an eight year old girl. And a demon hand petting that same eight year old girl. And crickets. Lots and lots of excruciatingly LOUD crickets. Oh, and a soundtrack sung by a self-styled and self-produced musical artist that mildly sucked. He was incredibly nasal, but the music part of the songs was pretty good.That's all this movie had going for it. The scares were non-existent. The family and friends support was barely recognizable. The only scene worth mentioning was when the eight year old girl bludgeoned her mother to death. It's worthy of mention only because of the gratuitous and vicious brutality with which she dispatched her matriarch. With a ball peen hammer. To the face. Repeatedly. It sounded like she was pounding the hammer into a pumpkin. The girl was cute, but annoying. They 'diagnosed' her as autistic. Granted, they had the repetitive motions symptom down, but the rest wasn't accurate at all. She made eye contact. She was highly verbal. She was very aware of the world around her. I know because my grandson is an eight year old autistic, and he's only now regularly using his words.The movie was a hot mess all around. Not even the halfway decent acting on the part of Nathan and Sophia could save this turkey.

TheLittleSongbird Although there is no bias intended, this viewer really isn't a fan of found footage movies (even the best of them seen, so far, have a lot of major problems). Most of them are poorly made, amateurishly written and acted, have a lot of scenes that lead nowhere or don't make sense, have little atmosphere and don't have much point. Infernal has all those flaws and more and is one of the worst of the lot.For starters, it looks cheap. Photography is both erratic and sloppy, never is it expansive or shows any intimacy with the characters, instead it is a visual eyesore and some of the shots are superfluously random. The editing is every bit as haphazard and incredibly badly paced, with a lot of the first quarter's scenes in particular having a very draggy and going on for too long feel. The movie is also rather too darkly lit in places, the found footage and even some horror clips are clumsily inserted and add very little and the effects and creature costume look dreadfully fake. The music more often than not did not fit within the movie, too much of the wrong mood and tempo, is overbearing and even on its own it's irritating.That it's very poorly recorded makes matters even worse, the sound quality throughout is just awful with parts being flatly recorded and others shrilly. The sound effects go well overboard in the bizarre factor, and often don't sound anything like what they're meant to sound like. The script is one of those where one has to express shock at how it was even approved in the first place, it always sounds painfully awkward and contains lots of irrelevant cussing, clunky rambling and shrill arguing that grates on the ear fast. Never once was the story engrossing, there are too many scenes that go nowhere, serve nothing to the story and they go on for far too long. It also drags badly, to the point of being interminable in places, too many parts are confused to the point of not making sense at all and there is a complete lack of scares, suspense or horror as a result of the bad pacing, being too unintentionally silly, looking cheap and being too tame.Same with the characters, who are little more than done to death stereotypes with annoying or non-descript (or both even) personalities, while the creature was more laughably silly than menacing. The direction is so flat that it borders on incompetence, and the acting across the board- with the sole exception of Alyssa Koerner, who's cute and creepy, even with having little of worth to work with- is far too amateurish to ring true.Overall, an awful movie and one of the worst of a type of film that's never done much for me. Koerner is the one halfway decent thing about Infernal, and even she is not enough to save it. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Matt St.Gelais (MattStGelais) Some how, I feel that this movie should have been titled "Intolerable". That, at least, would have been an honest description of the overall feel of this horrible movie.The acting is bad. The story has been done many times. The writing is the worst I've seen in years.. the situations portrayed on the screen where.. I can't even call them "laughable" because this movie was so bad, it made me angry that I paid $7.50 for it.If you're going to make a "found footage" type of movie, you can't just mindlessly film everything. Why is that camera on? There's no damned good reason for that camera to be on, while you're having a conversation with your friend.. if only to catch that one moment the scene was written for.. it's asinine.Do NOT buy this movie, hell, I don't recommend viewing it for free..I've never, in all my years of horror movie watching, ever done this before.. I've deleted the file from my media center, broke the DVD, and thrown it away.. this is how bad this movie is.

krismerrett There is a weird trend where horror movies are made so, a) all of the characters are AS ANNOYING AS POSSIBLE, b) the plot is "written" so that nothing flows together or is explained in the narrative, and c) there is no horror to speak of.This is perfect, if that's what you've been looking for.The characters are just. I was rooting for them to die. They are just borrowed stereotypes. Oh, dude-bro afraid of commitment and his dude-bro best man aiming the camera at his dick and bridesmaids crotches. The wife trapping said dude-bro into marriage with her terrible ovaries. The vaguely ethnic relatives with spiritual advice? Screeching, nagging, "all I am is a mother and wife" women. At one point the father says that Imogene is impossible to know, and that is because this child has no character. Just like everyone else in this movie.The movie is filled with completely unnecessary scenes. The wedding and birth, for example, add nothing to the plot. We get that they are getting married and having a baby before the title is shown and then they spend another 10 minutes on it. Unless everyone is going to die in a bloodbath of doom, I don't want to see your wedding in a horror movie get out. There are four scenes dedicated to Imogene brushing her hair. FOUR. This is not important. We get when you SAY IT SIX MORE TIMES that she has issues. Jesus Christ.The only other thing that this movie contains is the shrill arguments of everyone in this movie and some horror clips stolen from old Are You Afraid of the Dark episodes. Satan is honestly disappointed that he was brought into this horrific attempt at a movie. What even. Fog machines and floating toys? At least the cirque du soleil crowd got some extra work, though seriously. Could have done better, guys.
