The Devil Within

My review is this...

As a music video, this would fare well.

Lots of pretty faces and hot bodies.

As a story,this sucks.

It just drags on and is too boring.

No gripping tension. No sheer terror or angst.

Even the action is close to none...and for suspense???? Nay...none of that either.

I didn't pay to rent this and I'm glad.

Glamour porn is what this is...2 steps above softcore and 10 steps below a real movie with any real merit or grit to it.

Scary??? NO! Frightening? No! I guessed the killer to be - in the beginning and was right.

This just had much missing - even though it had so much to offer...but failed.

To the director - keep making those rap videos and pop star videos.

If you're short on work, you do great porn!

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.

Let me admit from the first that I am a fan of the lovely Miss Liz Di Prinzio and that I see a great future for her and that she is definitely one of the best things about this movie and I can see more better and better films coming Liz's way as she masters her craft. She is both talented and a very hard worker and very honest and passionate about her work and that shows through in this film.

The movie has lots of good points and like any budget teen flick also has all the negative points like stereotyping and mixed degrees of skills from both in front and behind the camera.

In the end the good points outweigh the bad and this flick has enough fun and gore and teen sexiness to entertain.

The opening scenes are edited really well although the alley scene, while critical to the story could have been handled better. The second half of the film flows better than the first part and the director needs to show more pace when establishing his actors or give them some tighter dialogue. The highlight was the dumb and dumber actors and of course the two female leads, Liz Di Prinzio and Sarah Harrison with good support from the vampy teen *itch played by Liz Bell. All three bring something to their roles and the beefcake school jock is exactly what you would expect, but he is outshone in all his scenes opposite Liz and Liz!!! The murder scenes were pretty well executed with some nice touches, which I won't reveal here, and the denouement is well done too and better than a lot of similar films in this genre.

Overall this film gets a 6 from me, but for movie lovers who like to see actors who are going places then see this one and enjoy Liz Di Prinzio and her two fellow female leads because I can see good things in the coming years. I love watching actors develop and change and grow and despite this film's budget restrictions it's still well worth checking out and has some excellent moments and nice touches.

This movie is so dire, words can hardly express. Only watch it if:

a)You thought the last primary school pantomime you attended showcased some brilliant acting talent;

b)An engaging plot is unimportant to you;

c)You like to know exactly how a movie is going to end after you've watched the first 5 minutes; or

d)You're happy to watch anything where trashily dressed women constantly take off their clothes / can't keep their hands off themselves.

I watched this film with a friend who is a big fan of movies that fall into the 'd' category. Even he was forced to exclaim, about five or six times, oh my god, this is awful. Still, he argued, it's one of those movies that's 'so bad it's good'. I begged to differ. Two scenes in particular spring to mind 'the belch off concluded with a fart' scene and the 'I really need to pee' scene (the second one). Both impacted my quality of life in negative and irrevocable ways. My friend believes that the 'girl upside down with the pink panties on' scene should earn it a second star at least (as opposed to the one star which I generously awarded it, because I was forced to do so). Watch it for yourself and decide, or take my recommendation and re-caulk your shower recess instead, it's about as much fun and at least you'll care about the outcome.

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.
