In October 30, 1989, Maria Rossi (Suzan Crowley) fully commited 3 murders during an exorcism performed on her behalf. The Catholic Church started to be involved, and she has since experienced a Catholic psychiatric medical in Rome.
20 years later, her daughter Isabella (Fernanda Andrade) seeks to know the truth about what exactly happened that night. She travels to the Centrino Hospital to the Criminally Insane in France where her mother may be locked away to establish if her mother is usually mentally ill or demonically owned or operated. When she recruits two young exorcists (Simon Quarterman and Evan Helmuth) to be able to cure her mom applying unconventional methods combining equally science and religion, they come face-to-face with pure evil by means of four powerful demons holding Maria. Many have been pressed by one; only one has been recently possessed by many.
The Devil Inside is an American supernatural horror motion picture directed and co-written simply by William Brent Bell, as a documentary-style film with regards to a woman who becomes involved in several exorcisms during her quest to discover what happened to the woman's mother, a woman who murdered three people caused by being possessed by a demon. Produced by Morris Paulson as well as Matthew Peterman, the film stars Fernanda Andrade, Simon Quarterman, Evan Helmuth, and Suzan Crowley, and is slated to get released theatrically on Present cards 6, 2012.
Director Bell, and Morris Paulson and also Matthew Peterman shot the film in 2010 in several different areas, including Bucharest (Romania), Rome (Italy) as well as Vatican City. Lorenzo di Bonaventura as well as Steven Schneider brought the actual movie to Paramount Pictures, and their low-budget side, Paramount Insurge acquired the film, hoping it would always be its next Paranormal Pastime.
When the theatrical trailer was published for Paramount's upcoming horror movie The Devil Within, I responded to this by groaning and putting my face in my hands. There wasn't anything inside the footage that made that film look any completely different from the one million exorcism movies or usually the one thousand found footage horror movies that are already out there. Was this project really necessary? Well, the new red group trailer hints that though it might not be necessary, The Devil Inside might still be pretty fun.
No, there isn't anything revolutionary taking place here that's going to part ways this film from the rest of the pack in your thoughts, but it's starting to look like this one goes a number of steps further than the rest of the recent exorcism films as much as big time spectacle, creepy effects work, and offensive content moves. This time around all of us get extended bone-crunching gymnastics, camera-splattering vaginal blood, lots of action, and a bit that has a baby that's bound to provide you with the willies.
The first trailer spent the vast majority of its time setting up the found footage, based on a true story part of the movie's presentation, and I found that to be a real turn-off. These movies that attempt to look like real, pieced together home video footage are always boring since heckfire. But this new trailer drops a few of that pretense and aims at more on selling the film being an over-the-top, gross, horror movie gorefest. Now that's something I'm able to get behind. There might be some an answer to the genre yet.
