I had not heard about this 2019 horror movie from writer and director Alexandre Carrière before now in 2020, when I was given the chance to sit down and watch it. I was lured in by the movie's rather interesting cover.
Little did I know that "Demons Inside Me" (aka "Jade's Asylum") turned out to be a stinking heap of... Well, you fill in the blanks. This movie was atrociously bad, and lacked anything that even resembled a proper storyline. And whatever passed as being the storyline here was just not cutting it in terms of delivering entertainment value.
Sure, the story was about Jade's inability to raise her voice and escape her predicaments, hence the imagery with the stitched together mouths and chopped off feet. But everything that transpired throughout the course of the movie was just blatantly boring and unappealing. Which made "Demons Inside Me" quite an ordeal to sit through.
It should be said, though, that the movie did have some adequate special effects and prosthetics to the beings that were supposed to be demonic - I guess. They had interesting designs, but it just was not enough to make up for the movie's lack of everything else.
The acting in the movie was good enough, especially taking into consideration the lack of a proper storyline. The characters in the movie, however, were just shallow and hollow, offering very little likable and enjoyable for the audience to witness. And you didn't invest any emotion into the characters, so when they were picked off one by one by the demonic creatures, you just didn't care.
"Demons Inside Me" was a swing and a miss from writer and director Alexandre Carrière, and while I managed to sit through the entire ordeal, I just can't say that I was entertained. Some of us have suffered through this movie, so you don't have to.
I am rating "Demons Inside Me" a mere two out of ten stars. This rating is mostly based on the special effects and the production value of the movie, as everything else was just pointless.
