Inner Demons (2014)

I don't like the movies that simulate the "handheld" cinematography, I've walked out of many theaters for that reason, they give me motion sickness. This movie's "handheld" feel was beautifully executed. It showed some motion and some scenes were shot in "selfie mode", but it wasn't that bad. Anyway, there are two types of movie that creeps me out. The ones that mess with my head, and the others that give me the "being chased/something in the dark" willys. This movie gave me tons of the latter. I love horror flicks, and I've watched so many movies about possession, and this movie knocked Deliver us From Evil out of it's number one spot for me. A few scenes had me laughing giddily because I was a bit freaked out. Lara V. (Carson) had a split personality throughout. She could be sweet and timid, but she always had this menacing look about her, and when she switched, sometimes it was overdone, but it didn't bother me. Great twist at the end, too.Now,the bad. The acting in spots was terrible, the plot is contrived and worn out, and one spot where Carson's friend plays a video for the male lead, it was so over the top... Well, you'll see what I mean. Then again, there are cult movies out there that are so ridiculous, it makes this movie look true to life. Either way, it's definitely not a 10 but it's great for a cheap thrill, as long as you can look past it's flaws.

Another horror movie, another found footage thing. The German cover is quite misleading by the way, just in case you saw that. This is kind of by the numbers (if there is such a thing with exorcism rituals). You may like it a bit better than I did, but I didn't really feel there was much to it.That being said, there have been worse Found Footage and exorcism movies. So this isn't really super bad (no pun intended), but it just doesn't quite make the cut. Predictable and kind of stretching out, this does offer a couple of scares at certain places. Not enough in either direction, so if you are in need of more horror, you could do worse than watch this. But if your time is valuable, maybe skip it

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!

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.
