The Devil Within

Let me admit from the first that I am a fan of the lovely Miss Liz Di Prinzio and that I see a great future for her and that she is definitely one of the best things about this movie and I can see more better and better films coming Liz's way as she masters her craft. She is both talented and a very hard worker and very honest and passionate about her work and that shows through in this film.

The movie has lots of good points and like any budget teen flick also has all the negative points like stereotyping and mixed degrees of skills from both in front and behind the camera.

In the end the good points outweigh the bad and this flick has enough fun and gore and teen sexiness to entertain.

The opening scenes are edited really well although the alley scene, while critical to the story could have been handled better. The second half of the film flows better than the first part and the director needs to show more pace when establishing his actors or give them some tighter dialogue. The highlight was the dumb and dumber actors and of course the two female leads, Liz Di Prinzio and Sarah Harrison with good support from the vampy teen *itch played by Liz Bell. All three bring something to their roles and the beefcake school jock is exactly what you would expect, but he is outshone in all his scenes opposite Liz and Liz!!! The murder scenes were pretty well executed with some nice touches, which I won't reveal here, and the denouement is well done too and better than a lot of similar films in this genre.

Overall this film gets a 6 from me, but for movie lovers who like to see actors who are going places then see this one and enjoy Liz Di Prinzio and her two fellow female leads because I can see good things in the coming years. I love watching actors develop and change and grow and despite this film's budget restrictions it's still well worth checking out and has some excellent moments and nice touches.

My review is this...

As a music video, this would fare well.

Lots of pretty faces and hot bodies.

As a story,this sucks.

It just drags on and is too boring.

No gripping tension. No sheer terror or angst.

Even the action is close to none...and for suspense???? Nay...none of that either.

I didn't pay to rent this and I'm glad.

Glamour porn is what this is...2 steps above softcore and 10 steps below a real movie with any real merit or grit to it.

Scary??? NO! Frightening? No! I guessed the killer to be - in the beginning and was right.

This just had much missing - even though it had so much to offer...but failed.

To the director - keep making those rap videos and pop star videos.

If you're short on work, you do great porn!

Sorry if i may sound a bit harsh! But let me tell you that in these days when, it is almost becoming an increasing habit to download for way to cheap or from the black market, any type of music and movies, without realizing that by so doing, they are destroying the only creativity left in the Entertainment Industry,and that, eventually and very soon, production will come to a stop, if they so keep on stealing, i am the one of those few, who always pays for his own movie tickets, DVD's/Blue Ray's and CD's! So i also feel the full right of bluntly honest expressed, when i payed for this abomination. A plot, that makes no justice to cult or Horror Films,and quite bring to a whole new level the word demeaning. Something so horribly created, directed, acted,well, if, of acting we can even talk here, where, even the savvy partial nudity is profane and vulgar and cheap, since all girls don't even seem belonging to the world of acting, but more to the one that represent the oldest profession the World can ever remember of! The guys are just so plain, considering all those talented, unusual, penetrating faces the world of underground Horror often tends to present, and i am thinking about people like Sid Haig,Tony Todd,Domiziano Arcangeli, Dylan Vox or even Toby Hemingway or Desmond Harrington,that probably weren't even available to read such a detrimental script,so shallow, bland,and juvenile, that you keep wondering how someone could even wanna produce! And last,but certainly not least,"something" filmed so badly to be able to bring to mind only some sort of real bad,poorly executed students film, whose director, had been plagued by severe hung over, during the weekend of this ill fated production! What else to say? Nothing,there's just nothing else to be said, sadly,and think that, normally i find great guilty and rewarding pleasures by exploring titles like this one,but here there's only one thing you may be wanna fully aware of: Run!

OMG this film is so bad its unreal, in fact its that bad I've even took the time to write this review which is something Id only do if something annoyed me so much that I feel I need to warn others.

How it was ever made with such a crap script and bad actors is beyond me, it really has nothing good about it...... Oh I tell a lie the only 1/2 decent thing about it is partly clothed hot chicks; apart from that its not worth the energy pressing play on you DVD player!!!

Hopefully there wont be a sequel and this film will be quickly forgotten because I for sure won't be remembering it!

Hopefully this will stop others for making the same mistake as I did by watching this!

We all know that movie covers do lie to us and portray a movie more attractive than it actually is. But saying this has "creative" ways in any connection is just absolutely unacceptable! While you may be able to overlook the "acting" and the "story" itself, there should be something that makes this at least a bit interesting. And here we come to the other selling point of it: Twist If you want to call it that. It's completely insane and nothing people will be amazed by.

On the other end, there is neither enough blood or nudity to hold the attention of the intended group of watchers. Don't get me wrong there is blood and there is some nudity and intercourse. The latter depicted in two scenes. And one of them is shot in a nice way actually (intercut with people dancing and music people might find good). That and the beautiful people in it, might make this bearable for you. Better script and some nice effects next time and we're good
