Movie Review – The Devil Inside

Since the advent of 21st century, the world has moved away from
superstitions and heading more towards rationality. However, still there
are conscious efforts being made to divert people from rationalist
behavior. This movie, “The devil inside”, is a similar futile attempt in
this regard.

Released by paramount pictures this january, the story revolves around
the life of a girl who investigates the condition of her mother who is
being held in a psychiatric institute in Italy. Tracing back her
childhood memories, one finds out that her mother committed three
murders of her family members, while possesed by a demon. The girl
investigates the reality of exorcism and after believing, involves two
exorcists to free her mother. The mother happens to possess multiple
demons and during the exorcism one of the demons transfer to the
priest’s body, eventually causing his death.


After the death, the same demon houses the girl. When the other priest
and her friend takes her, from hospital to the big priest, the demon
hits the vehicle into a truck, killing them all.The movie recieved high
degree of criticism, called as bad attempt at shaking camera and an
unfair treatment to reality.

Although, hiting the boxoffice at top, replacing MI5, the film downed by
76% in the subsequent week, remaining nowhere in the top 10.The
disturbing thing was the filming of the movie as a documentary of real
events, which resulted in the drop of movie in the next week.

The public behavior shows an expectation of finding some paranormal
activities to be happening with ‘others’. However, the disappointment in
finding that is evident from the rise and fall of the movie on
facebook. Highly recommended for the beginners, as it provides great
material to ponder on.
