The Demon Inside

Pearry Reginald Teo's 'The Assent' has a strong start, a convincing performance by its lead actor, and nice art direction, all of which competes with a script that fails to do anything interesting to breathe some life into a tired genre.

Boring. Why still such movies? Three stars, and i'm being generous.

I don't get all the 1 reviews it's not great but it's not horrible either I have definitely seen ALOT worse. It's not scary but It has descent acting & alot of cool & dark art work throughout the house which I liked.

All this movie needed was another pass on the script. The twist at the end is really cool but you can see it coming from a mile away. The writer/director needed to work on the script to hide it more so it wasn't so obvious. Had they done this properly it would have raised this movie up a bunch of notches.

It's not really scary though it has some great creepy atmosphere going on. Some of the visuals are great, particularly the demon with all those faces and the creepy gyrating woman. But overall not horrible. It doesn't deserve such low scores.

I have seen movies that deserve a 1 rating or even a negative rating but not this movie. The Assent was a bit slow & absolutely not scary. I would not call it a horror movie but a psychological thriller. I went into it with very low expectations so maybe that's why I have a higher opinion than others but there is no way I would rate it a 1. I thought most of the acting was good, atmosphere was good, plot was believable & I watched it all the way without losing interest. Not a great movie, not a horror movie but not a movie I regret watching, better than a lot of the crap they make now days.
