The Devil Within

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!

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!

I started watching this and stupidly brought up the IMDB page while it was on. That means reviews stating it was the worst movie ever popped up. I sighed and thought, "Meh, it's already playing, I can always turn it off..." but I never did. I mean, dumb teen slashers generally aren't all that sophisticated, but this was far, far, far from the worst movie ever. The 1 star reviews almost seem like sort of weird prank. If this is the worst movie you ever saw, you clearly haven't seen very many movies. Go through my review contribution history if you want to see plenty of bad movies. This was competent for a slasher, just not exceptionally so. It has some decent actresses, and a few semi-decent actors. It has a guess the killer thing going on, like most of these do, with several suspicious characters. It throws in some twists, and they generally work. The only thing bad I can say is whoever decided to do the credits for the actors at the end chose to list them alphabetically instead of by importance to the plot, which means the two actors named Aldridge appear first... and I'm sure it's a complete coincidence that the producers are named Aldridge too. Sure. That was a real dick move. But don't judge the entire movie by one stupid choice that doesn't even have anything to do with the film. Give this one a chance.

I admit my expectations were low when I started watching, but from the very first spine-tingling moment I was captivated.

The film opens with a tension-filled scene set in a seedy part of Hollywood. The photography is comparable to Citizen Kane, combined with the amazingly original plot line of a hooker who meets up with a madman and utters the classic line "Do you like it rough?" just before he kills her.

Kudos to the scriptwriter for that totally unexpected plot point. From the minute we see the crazy psycho sitting in a darkened corner of the motel room, we have no idea what he's about to do. And neither did the hooker.

This sense of shock twists and turns its way through the film. And although the plot gets lost somewhere in the fog of film-making, this masterpiece culminates in a teenage-party murder-fest the likes of which I've never seen before.

The continuity and editing need a special mention. The smooth transition from a pool party filled with 40 teenagers to a darkened house with no more than 6 people within the blink of an eye was superb and truly caught me off guard. I can only guess the editor and director collaborated on this master-stroke of confusion.

And the reveal at the end of the movie was a total shock. I won't spoil the twist in this short review, leaving it to the viewer to enjoy the outcome.

Finally, look out for the actress who played the handicapped girl. A truly Oscar-winning performance; she deserves a nomination nod at the very least. She totally grabbed my attention when she fell asleep on the bench at the party, and then put all her emotion into raising a finger to point at the bedroom 'She's up there' she stammers, pure terror etched on her face.

Not to mention the climax where she hobbled and stumbled away from the killer, and decided that a dark alley would be the perfect place to hide. Hollywood watch out!

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
