Inner Demons

Possession movies have been big now for a while. There have been sooooo many over the years since The Excorsist. Then found footage was introduced and Found footage/Possession movies started popping up like crazy. It's a genre that is hard to do without being like every other movie. Inner Demons actually manages to pull off this genre in a new and interesting way.

So Inner Demons plays out like you are watching an episode of "Intervention" with demons, this was a nice touch and moved the movie along well. We are introduced to Carson who is a drug addict who uses drugs to hide something evil. She is actually a fairly interesting character, a little dull but sweet and you actually care for her. The supporting characters are also pretty well done.

Things don't exactly move very fast in the movie, but I was still entertained throughout. The first 45 minutes sets things up well with interviews from the characters and banter between the TV Show crew. Once things do start to pick up and get crazy it isn't exactly anything you haven't seen before but does make for a few jump scares. The finale however, is pretty nuts and a lot of fun.

Overall this actually a pretty entertaining found footage flick. It's not all original, and you will see some things you have seen done before, but it does add in some new elements to make it it's own movie and a fun ride.

7/10

Well, you have your portion of typical, spiced with some cliché here and there, a tall glass of jump scares that you can easily predict and as desert a sort of twist ending that has no flavor.

Can you go on living without seeing this? Surely enough! But if you're a horror collector and want to add one more, is it worth the time spent on it? My opinion is...if you have time to waste and you wanna fly it off on something solely so you can feel that you traveled a little in the future to reach your destination faster, okey, maybe Inner Demons might help you on this one. But other than that, this production is just another movie that will get lost in the crowd, so many like it, you'd think people are cloning them or something. Don't know what the point of it all is, but I'm done trying to figure it out. If anyone out there has a better answer than: "so they can make a name in the horror industry"; "so that they can get noticed"; "it's their long life dream", please let me know!

Inner Demon, not original, not new, not different, but not too bad either. It stands just as a copy, if you want to re-watch a movie but with different actors, this is the way to do so.

Cheers!

6.5/10. A young religious straight A student becomes an intravenous pill and heroin user seemingly overnight and causes turmoil for her family. Believing she is on a path of destruction, her family agree to let an Intervention style reality show document her addiction and eventually try to get her into rehab.

As they follow her every move, they come to realize that she believes she is using drugs to hold back something sinister inside of her and that she has no other choice.

Once she goes to rehab and is off the drugs, events are set into motion and the real fun begins (for us, at least).

This entertaining found footage possession horror doesn't offer much new to the genre but does deliver some scares and an entertaining story. In the quagmire of these types of movies being released these days, this is one of the better ones and worth a watch.

I do not get the torrent of bad reviews on here. If you are a found footage fan, then this is an absolutely solid watch. The main character is sympathetic and believable. It's well acted, well shot and the ending was genuinely surprising. It's a different take on the genre and it works. Definitely never heard of someone having to shoot up herion to keep the demon inside of them subdued. It made me think if this actually happened to someone pretty much no one would believe them. I had become very invested by the end. I don't want to spoil anything so I'm not going to go into detail, but if you like found footage, I'd day it's not quite a "Possession of Michael King" nut it's on par with the "Lost Footage of Leah Sullivan." Definitely worth a watch.

First, I gotta ask...WHY do so many reviews on here EXPLAIN the plot/story/characters of the movies being reviewed? You're sposed to give your opinion of why/how you liked/disliked the film, not explain the dang story! Lol. I've read reviews that were 10 paragraphs explaining every little part and character of the movie and not even touching on why they liked it or not lol. Anyways that being said, Inner Demons creeped me out! Not since Emily Rose have I been "scared" of a possession film. This one hits the spot, good story, good effects, good acting for hand-held style. The girl immediately made me shiver with her eyes and look, and I don't shiver easy lol. Give it a shot!
