Inner Demons
INNER DEMONS follows an 'Intervention'-style reality show crew that films an episode about a sixteen-year old girl, a former A-student, who is fighting addiction but may in fact be suffering from something even more destructive: demonic possession. The movie is an inquiry into the truth about her - with symptoms that straddle the disturbing and scary intersection between insanity, addiction and true possession.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
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
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.
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!
