Inner Demons (2014)

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

This is a mash up of horror movies that done this way better.It takes way to long for the terror to start because we need explanation on how addiction works and that takes up more than half of the film.The actual last scene saves it a little but not enough to watch the whole flick.It's just 1 more flick for the big B-movie pile.I'm giving this a real low rating because now it's to high and I don't think it deserves that.Believe me,your better of not have seen this product.So,beware.Take care.Do not look at this "not" nightmare.Seriously...don't.

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!

Inner Demons is a new and interesting take on the demon possession genre of horror.Inner Demons is told in the vein of an unaired reality show episode similar to Intervention, called "Step Inside Recovery". It is season eight and the producers are pretty disillusioned and are just trying to get a shocking backstory and footage to keep ratings. Producers get what they asked for when the featured addict Carson says she's possessed by a demon and that's what is causing her addiction.Yes, Inner Demons is technically unoriginal because once again we have a possession horror film. There are so many different versions released by now that how can anyone matter to add something new to the genre? Writer Glenn Gers manages to do just that by rethinking the idea of addiction. Every drug addict has a reason, always trying to dull the pain that lurks underneath and figuratively kill the darkness inside but Gers reinvents the causation of drug addiction to be literal. It is quite surprising this has never been thought of before, to my knowledge, and is an intelligent choice.Carson is played by Lara Vosburgh who does a really wonderful job playing a demon possessed drug addled heroin/Oxycontin addict. Morgan McClellan is Jason, the new PA and camera operator who takes to Carson, believing her story, and trying to save her from the darkness. Both are sincere in their portrayal and provide surprisingly well acted roles in Inner Demons.Seth Grossman provides the direction to Glenn Gers's witty and realistic dialogue. Nothing is sacred as the production crew insensitively and bluntly discuss their subject Carson with zero empathy.Once Inner Demons focuses more on the demonic possession of Carson the film becomes more formulaic and expected and lacks the sinister gore typical of a person consumed by evil.More reviews in FULL can be found at our website.

Bad early execution ruins what could've been an average possession shocker. Who writes this stuff. It was failure right off the bat with the camera guy that they found on Craigslist. Then there's the main girl, why is she being directed to act like this. It's just horrible. Her mannerisms during the first drug interview are so contrived. She looks like she's acting in a high school play. Then reciting Bible verses come on. This is enough. Enough of the Bible, it's just too overplayed. No one wants to hear Bible Verses during a movie, not even if it's coming from a Satanically-possessed girl. It's just wrong. I can't say it's the girl's fault for the lines she's being fed. It's the director's fault for allowing such vanilla acting from the cast. The idea of the movie is good. Idea's are just ideas though. Execution is another thing.
