The Devil Inside Trailer: Me And The Devil Blues

Exorcism movies are getting all too common these days. Actually, cancel that: bad exorcism movies are getting all too common. Good ones? Few and far fucking between. After sitting through the disappointing The Rite last year, one starts to wonder if, even with solid casting, there will ever be another good one (although I concede that The Last Exorcism was pretty decent).

Now we have The Devil Inside, which wins a point simply for not having the word “exorcism” in it because seriously, that shit is tired. It’s yet another faux-documentary, this time about a woman working with a handful of holy men to try to understand why her mother killed a bunch of people years before. The exorcism scenes appear to be the standard stuff — speaking in tongues, weird bouts of jerky contortionism, stuff flying around the room, and more jump scares than you can throw a dead priest at. But… it looks like it could be mildly entertaining, in a predictable fashion. It certainly can’t be worse than The Exorcism of Emily Rose or, God forbid, Exorcist: The Beginning, can it?

Stigmata is not enough, now we have to have cross-shaped mouth boo boos? I get canker sores and they are already sufficiently horrendous, changing the shape of them will make no difference whatsover; in fact, a cross-shaped incision might be less painful because of the smaller surface area than a round canker sore would have. That time I passed out on the bathroom floor and banged my teeth against my lower lip and developed side-by-side-by-side canker sores that melded into one ubercanker sore was my standard for excrutiating pain for years. That thing was, like, 1/2 an inch by 1/2 an inch. The Devil wants to scare me with an cross-shaped incision? Pfft. Devil's got nothing on a canker sore.

Every time I see one of these exorcism movies I always think the same thing- The devil has got to be the world's best Twister player.

Just a few moments ago, before I played this trailer, the world was a happy sunny place. Just the MUSIC on these things gets to me. That Emily Rose movie spooked me hard and from behind. I can't do Satan and possession stuff. Is it because I'm Catholic? Maybe. Whatever. Just put demonic possession down on the Don't Go There list for moivies: Viet Nam, heroin addiction, maiming, woman-in-a-cage-being-tortured, little kid abduction...and SATAN!!!

My name is Prolixity Julien and I approve of klingonfree's list.

Blasphemy. The Exorcism of Emily Rose is one of the better post-The Exorcist exorcism films. Was it the refusal to tell you what actually happened that turned you off or the 20 seconds of horrid CGI in the rain sequence? It couldn't have been the actual story, the performances, and the technical execution of the mostly practical special effects.

And considering your hatred of ...Emily Rose, I figured you would note that--quite clearly--the film is dealing with the blur between medicine and faith. It also lifts scares straight out of the other film and hits all the cliches that tell me this will be another horrid January horror release.

I too enjoyed Emily Rose. It wasn't perfect by any means, but a decent enough exorcism film (even if it felt more like legal drama at times.)

I enjoyed both Emily Rose and The Last Exorcism immensely and thought they were both mostly quite well done, with perhaps a few rough spots. The Rite sucked rotten eggs. (Or lightly salted rat dicks, whatever. I realized that wasn't quite profane enough for Pajiba.)

It's my duty/pleasure to see ALL exorcism / possession / Satan movies with my horror movie BFF because that is her absolute favorite subgenre. (Mine is zombies.)

MM, I'm glad you went with the lightly salted rat dicks. It's those overly spiced processed rat dicks that are just ruining the market these days.

Never, ever, underestimate filmmakers' ability to suck.
