The Devil Inside
Hello everybody. Today I'm going to review The Devil Inside. This film is a 2012 found footage movie about Isabella Rossi. The premise of the movie is that Isabella Rossi's mother killed 3 people in 1989 during an exorcism being performed on her. Isabella, 20 years later, is looking for answers. She calls in a cameraman named Mike to help her document her visit to Italy where her Mom has been in a mental hospital for the past twenty years. She visits her mother and gets more than she bargained for when she screams at her in a fit of rage out of nowhere. Later she meets two priests who have been preforming exorcisms without the consent of the church.
She soon sees an exorcism being performed on another woman. Afterwords, when they believe Isabella's mother is possessed, they try to perform an exorcism on her. All seems well until one of the priests, David, starts acting strange. David gradually loses his sanity and kills himself to keep the others safe. I won't say anymore as to not spoil the movie for you all.

The Devil Inside was a good film but had some very damaging flaws. 1) Too many camera angles. Since this is supposed to seem like a documentary then why are there so many cameras? The possession scenes seemed to have at least ten really good cameras stationed around the room. Mike must be awfully rich to be able to afford that many cameras for a project so small. 2) The ending. The movie ended right when things were getting good, there are so many things they could have added like why they sent Maria to Italy in the first place. What was the demon talking about when it said 'You wanted him to die' to Ben and also stated something similar to David. Could she have been referring to when David died? This could be possible or the demon could have manipulated those things to emphasize what could have happened in the past. That is up for you to decide. I think this film would have done a lot better as a supernatural thriller rather than a found footage film but all in all The Devil Inside was a good film and is definitely worth a watch.
