Clark Collis, Entertainment Weekly: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "...does contain some nice scares, and a memorably unnerving turn from Suzan Crowley... the biggest shock arrives when it abruptly ends -- just as it hits its stride." (Read the full review...) 168 words, 01/06/12 Peter Travers, Rolling Stone: POOR (cg) "...will make you puke for all the wrong reasons. It sure as hell won't be terror." (Read the full review...) 218 words, 01/13/12
Manohla Dargis, New York Times: POOR "...a tedious, tediously exhausted subgenre that was already creatively tapped out when 'The Blair Witch Project' spooked audiences more than a decade ago." (Read the full review...) 442 words, 01/07/12 Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News: POOR (cg) " 'Exorcism rites can take minutes, or years,' says the priest. Minutes actually seem like years..." (Read the full review...) 437 words, 01/11/12 Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times: POOR "...there is lots of tedious exposition with an over-reliance on direct-to-camera confessionals... plays like a horror film conceived on graph paper." (Read the full review...) 349 words, 01/07/12 Sara Stewart, New York Post: POOR (cg) "...the film's ending is unforgivably, inexplicably lame. I really couldn't believe it, and neither could anyone else in the theater." (Read the full review...) 626 words, 01/07/12 Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: POOR (cg) "The words, somber and undeniably true, hit the screen: 'The Vatican did not endorse this film nor aid in its completion.' No, the Holy See apparently is waiting to back an exorcism movie that's a little less hilariously lame." (Read the full review...) 362 words, 01/07/12 Rafer Guzman, New York Newsday: POOR (cg) "Could God make a movie so bad that even He couldn't watch it? I don't know, but Paramount Pictures has come close with 'The Devil Inside.' " (Read the full review...) 252 words, 01/07/12 David Edelstein, New York Magazine: WEAK "...a disposable but decent exorcism mockumentary... the audience was with it, and then everything went to hell. It has been a long time since I've heard people -- many people -- distinctly yell, 'Boo!' " (Read the full review...) 462 words, 01/09/12 Peter Howell, Toronto Star: POOR (cg) "Even at 87 minutes, this scare-free and talent-deprived waste of film drags. No mean feat to be this dull in this short of time." (Read the full review...) 554 words, 01/06/12 Jennie Punter, Toronto Globe & Mail: MODERATE (cg) "While it doesn't exactly reinvent the inverted cross, 'The Devil Inside' definitely puts a nifty indie spin on the demonic possession genre." (Read the full review...) 657 words, 01/06/12 Andrew Dowler, Toronto Now: POOR (cg) "...the crowd laughed derisively at this tale of a young woman who tries to uncover the truth about the triple murder her mother committed 20 years earlier while being exorcised." (Read the full review...) 175 words, 01/12/12
Mark Jenkins, Washington Post: POOR (cg) "...the name of the movie's contortionist: Pixie Le Knot. Good to know that someone has a sense of humor about this diabolical foolishness." (Read the full review...) 422 words, 01/07/12 Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: POOR (cg) "...reminds us how little it takes to make some people scream in a crowded movie theater." (Read the full review...) 343 words, 01/07/12 Stephen Whitty, New Jersey Star-Ledger: POOR (cg) "...if my old school's Dean of Discipline were still around, the cast and crew would all get a trip to detention and maybe a rap or two across the knuckles." (Read the full review...) 607 words, 01/06/12 Roger Moore, Seattle Times: POOR (cg) "...a profoundly foolish script filmed with a shaky cam... the ending is such a cheat that you'll be fighting back the urge to boo the closing credits." (Read the full review...) 510 words, 01/07/12
Mack Rawden, Cinema Blend: MODERATE (cg) "It's not good. It's not awful. It's somewhere in the middle, which based on your own personal like of horror flicks, might be enough to buy a ticket." (Read the full review...) 645 words, 01/09/12 Alexandra Cavallo, Boston Phoenix: MODERATE (cg) "Turns out Mom is indeed possessed -- by four demons -- and needs to be exorcised. Try and guess what happens when the four main characters give it a whirl." (Read the full review...) 162 words, 01/12/12 Nathan Rabin, AV Club: POOR (cg) "...contains all the elements for a wacky parody of exorcism movies, except a sense of humor about itself... the laughs are unintentional." (Read the full review...) 362 words, 01/06/12 Alison Willmore, Movieline: WEAK (cg) "...a half-hearted patchwork of ideas blatantly lifted from better films, with characters who have to act increasingly foolish in order to allow the action to go forward..." (Read the full review...) 768 words, 01/06/12 R. Kurt Osenlund, Slant: WEAK (cg) "It's basically one big offensive gesture, which, really, is what you should expect from a movie whose poster image mirrors the universal symbol for cunnilingus." (Read the full review...) 795 words, 01/06/12 Andrew Dowler, Toronto Now: POOR (cg) "...the crowd laughed derisively at this tale of a young woman who tries to uncover the truth about the triple murder her mother committed 20 years earlier while being exorcised."

Joe Leydon, Daily Variety: GOOD (NOT GREAT) "Despite the palpable air of deja vu that hangs over it like a light fog, 'The Devil Inside' generates a fair amount of suspense during sizable swaths of its familiar but serviceable exorcism-centric scenario." (Read the full review...) 495 words, 01/05/12 Michael Rechtshaffen, Hollywood Reporter: POOR "...never gets off the ground... trots out the same predictable twisting heads and psycho-babble without a whiff of originality or discernible visual flair." (Read the full review...) 382 words, 01/06/12 Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times: POOR "...there is lots of tedious exposition with an over-reliance on direct-to-camera confessionals... plays like a horror film conceived on graph paper."
