The Thing Inside Us

I've never seen such boring actors in my life. Expressionless to the nth degree. Whether it's a calm scene, dramatic scene, arguing, doesn't matter they just deliver their monotone lines like robots. The girl cuts herself and barely reacts to it. The guy loses track of her one night and his words are what you say in that situation but his Expression was non existent. Just do yourself a favor and skip this or take it to an acting class and use it as a what not to do teaching tool.

Bad story, bad acting, bad script, bad movie, bad decision to watch this. DON'T WATCH THIS!

This is clearly a movie made by someone learning the film industry - as it is not polished like what you would see in a movie theater on the big screen.

However, I could have gotten over the B-filmmaking if the acting and the storyline was better. The 2 main characters were decent, but the supporting characters were really rough in terms of acting abilities. You were very aware that the acting was forced and not natural.

This can be seen in some of the dialog, as the conversations don't feel like anything people would really say in real life - it was very clear that these conversations were used as a means to inform the viewer of specific information. This can be seen in the first interaction with the landlord (whose acting was god awful - sorry). Just really unnatural dialog in several places.

But like I said, this is a good first effort for someone likely going through or just out of film school. However, it's not scary in the least. At most I would describe it as a "thriller" or "suspense." Don't go into this movie expecting to be scared.

A decent first hour spoiled by an absolute sh@&show of a third act that features actors that totally forget how to act and hilarious special effects. It generates laughs while trying for chills.

This movie is surprisingly well done, and while it's obvious that this is an inexperienced film maker, it's a pretty good entry into the found footage genre. Honestly, this is exactly the same quality of film we saw from so called 'classics' from the past and if you just want something that's pop-corn watchable or you're feeling like binging some goofy horror/sci-fi then this is definitely a movie for you.

The main actors are pretty convincing, but much of the supporting acting is a bit rough. The cinematography isn't awful but honestly, I think the director would have been better served using actual security camera footage for a lot of it -- the difference between quality would have been a lot more convincing. Obviously, the special effects, when they appear, are pretty rough, but they're not awful. I think the director put a lot of heart and soul into making this and it shows, even if it's a low budget COVID movie.

Unlike a lot of found footage movies, this one doesn't leave a lot of loose strings, which is nice, and it has an ending that also leaves room for a potential sequel should the director ever decide to expand the 'universe'.

Honestly, the movie wasn't bad. I didn't mind it. But the acting took me out of it. The acting was just bad, but it was really the only bad part of the movie. The rest wasn't terrible. I'd recommend this to anyone who doesn't mind amateurish acting.
