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!

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.

The concept was OK. The movie was... so so. It had some decent suspense. I knew the ending was gonna be disappointing. I didn't think I'd create an imdb account because of it though.

They could have made this, atleast semi decent as a wrap up but, it felt like they were running tight on budget and wanted to finish the film. I felt good with the Blair witch project feel was good. Until you conceptualize what was going on and hoping for it to be wrapped up well.

In all seriousness, it was decent for what it was. The acting felt like it was being recorded on home cameras from people not trying to record themselves. The suspense was there. Just don't expect a big payoff or that big payoff when things conclude. If you feel like you have a theory where it's going, dumb it down some and you might be close.

The only actor with a picture next to their bio is "Mr Cates," a minor character. It's almost as though they didn't use real actors. In fact, it kinda feels like a homemade video skit.

At first, I forgave it's obvious no-budget predicament as well as some glaring plot holes. It was a half decent set up for a little indie project and I was rooting for it!

But audience goodwill couldn't save it.

Pretty bad ... even with the above mentioned filters.

Only partially found footage, it goes off the rails in terms of quality when it stops being found footage, I think this was a mistake. The acting was only okay to begin with, and when things should be ramped up emotionally, the poor acting is only exposed more. However, the acting is still better than "Witchtrap", which is my bar for bad acting. I found it interesting and suspenseful and I wanted to know how it would end, but due to the amateurish third act, there is no way I can recommend this to most people. Yes, obviously inspired by paranormal activity, but not a rip-off in my opinion, it goes in quite a different direction.

In fact, it is very obviously a cautionary tale, and it becomes pretty obvious the creators at least have some idea about the sham that the last 2yrs were in regards to the virus that starts with a C and ends with a 9. Nice to see filmmakers who actually know what is going on, so this film becomes a bit heavy handed sadly, but I see where they were trying to go and the allegory, I just don't think they had the skills to really make it what it should have been, and because of this, I can only give a soft recommendation to those who enjoy no-budget films that try to do something different and can overlook the some of the poor acting and bad lighting in the last 3rd.
