The Devil Within

I have just registered myself on IMDb only to warn people about this truly terrible film. The only reason why it has a score of 3.3 at the moment is because of a couple of idiots, who either fancy one of the actresses or get off from slasher movies.

This film has no storyline.It tries to create a plot at the beginning, but then doesn't follow it at all. As "airgoeg"'s review suggests, you have to be brain dead to enjoy this movie.

The acting is awful. There is no feeling from any of the cast. The only believable characters are a weed dealer and a street preacher, unfortunately both of which you hardly see any of, and are not even needed in the film/story.

Trust me. I am normally easily pleased when it comes to films. I am able to find the good in most things, but I don't care if this is low budget or not. I still wouldn't use the script to wipe my own *@#*. Even though it is only 1hr 15mins long (1hr 15mins too long in my opinion), I still feel I have wasted part of my life watching this film.

I admit my expectations were low when I started watching, but from the very first spine-tingling moment I was captivated.

The film opens with a tension-filled scene set in a seedy part of Hollywood. The photography is comparable to Citizen Kane, combined with the amazingly original plot line of a hooker who meets up with a madman and utters the classic line "Do you like it rough?" just before he kills her.

Kudos to the scriptwriter for that totally unexpected plot point. From the minute we see the crazy psycho sitting in a darkened corner of the motel room, we have no idea what he's about to do. And neither did the hooker.

This sense of shock twists and turns its way through the film. And although the plot gets lost somewhere in the fog of film-making, this masterpiece culminates in a teenage-party murder-fest the likes of which I've never seen before.

The continuity and editing need a special mention. The smooth transition from a pool party filled with 40 teenagers to a darkened house with no more than 6 people within the blink of an eye was superb and truly caught me off guard. I can only guess the editor and director collaborated on this master-stroke of confusion.

And the reveal at the end of the movie was a total shock. I won't spoil the twist in this short review, leaving it to the viewer to enjoy the outcome.

Finally, look out for the actress who played the handicapped girl. A truly Oscar-winning performance; she deserves a nomination nod at the very least. She totally grabbed my attention when she fell asleep on the bench at the party, and then put all her emotion into raising a finger to point at the bedroom 'She's up there' she stammers, pure terror etched on her face.

Not to mention the climax where she hobbled and stumbled away from the killer, and decided that a dark alley would be the perfect place to hide. Hollywood watch out!

Bad and boring. From the description I was hoping the saving grace would be gratuitous sex and nudity, but even that was few and far between. Sorry the movie doesn't deserve an in depth review.

Sorry if i may sound a bit harsh! But let me tell you that in these days when, it is almost becoming an increasing habit to download for way to cheap or from the black market, any type of music and movies, without realizing that by so doing, they are destroying the only creativity left in the Entertainment Industry,and that, eventually and very soon, production will come to a stop, if they so keep on stealing, i am the one of those few, who always pays for his own movie tickets, DVD's/Blue Ray's and CD's! So i also feel the full right of bluntly honest expressed, when i payed for this abomination. A plot, that makes no justice to cult or Horror Films,and quite bring to a whole new level the word demeaning. Something so horribly created, directed, acted,well, if, of acting we can even talk here, where, even the savvy partial nudity is profane and vulgar and cheap, since all girls don't even seem belonging to the world of acting, but more to the one that represent the oldest profession the World can ever remember of! The guys are just so plain, considering all those talented, unusual, penetrating faces the world of underground Horror often tends to present, and i am thinking about people like Sid Haig,Tony Todd,Domiziano Arcangeli, Dylan Vox or even Toby Hemingway or Desmond Harrington,that probably weren't even available to read such a detrimental script,so shallow, bland,and juvenile, that you keep wondering how someone could even wanna produce! And last,but certainly not least,"something" filmed so badly to be able to bring to mind only some sort of real bad,poorly executed students film, whose director, had been plagued by severe hung over, during the weekend of this ill fated production! What else to say? Nothing,there's just nothing else to be said, sadly,and think that, normally i find great guilty and rewarding pleasures by exploring titles like this one,but here there's only one thing you may be wanna fully aware of: Run!

I started watching this and stupidly brought up the IMDB page while it was on. That means reviews stating it was the worst movie ever popped up. I sighed and thought, "Meh, it's already playing, I can always turn it off..." but I never did. I mean, dumb teen slashers generally aren't all that sophisticated, but this was far, far, far from the worst movie ever. The 1 star reviews almost seem like sort of weird prank. If this is the worst movie you ever saw, you clearly haven't seen very many movies. Go through my review contribution history if you want to see plenty of bad movies. This was competent for a slasher, just not exceptionally so. It has some decent actresses, and a few semi-decent actors. It has a guess the killer thing going on, like most of these do, with several suspicious characters. It throws in some twists, and they generally work. The only thing bad I can say is whoever decided to do the credits for the actors at the end chose to list them alphabetically instead of by importance to the plot, which means the two actors named Aldridge appear first... and I'm sure it's a complete coincidence that the producers are named Aldridge too. Sure. That was a real dick move. But don't judge the entire movie by one stupid choice that doesn't even have anything to do with the film. Give this one a chance.
