Sarah is a mopey, pale-faced teenager who is about to start at a new school, so her parents arrange for Lucy (Sage Howard) to come round for a sleepover while they go out for the entire night, clearly happy to be away from their miserable daughter. Lucy, not wishing to be stuck with sulky Sarah on her own, invites all of her friends and so begins the world lamest party, any enjoyment sucked out of proceedings by the miserable 'host'. For reasons that make no sense whatsoever, but which suit the plot, all of the doors and windows are automatically locked from the outside, which means that when the 'guests' start to die, as predicted by fun-sponge Sarah, no-one can escape.This film features loathsome characters who behave implausibly throughout, but that's OK because, in one of the most over-used plot twists in the genre, everything we see is happening inside Sarah's troubled mind. With such an unlikeable bunch of (imaginary) teenagers, one might reasonably expect to derive some pleasure from their untimely (imaginary) demises, but the (imaginary) death scenes are executed in such a lame, bloodless fashion that horror fans are even robbed of that basic pleasure. The film ends, none too soon, with a drawn out 'reveal' whereby Sarah's parents talk through the entire plot twist in detail for those viewers who haven't already figured things out for themselves.

The only reason this film seems to exist is so a group of Chinese-American high school students can get together and make some cash, or at least so it seems to me. Because THE EVIL INSIDE is one of the silliest, dullest and worst written exercises in so-called 'horror' that I've had the misfortune watching in a good while.The 'story' - although it can barely be labelled as such, it's so slim - goes that a mentally disturbed teen, Sarah, hosts a party for a group of college buddies (it turns out to be one of the worst parties ever put on film, but never mind). While this is going on she starts to have visions of their future ghosts, and of course people start dying before long. Except it's so low budget that there are virtually no effects and the whole thing is nearly bloodless.(Oh wait, there was one shot of a bloody corpse with lines of stage blood criss-crossing her arms. It looks like nothing more than something who squirted strawberry sauce over their ice cream and had me burst into laughter.) Eventually - because although this is a short film it feels like it goes on forever - there turns out to be this huge psychological twist, but it's cringeworthy at best. Needless to say the acting from the unknown cast is appalling and the film as a whole should be consigned to oblivion.

Oh dear yet another film with a cast of actors playing stereotypical teens having a get together at someones house. We have the Jock, the close female slutty friends who via for male attention and ultimately fall out, the jealous boyfriend and his promiscuous girlfriend - enter the Jock, the rich party girl and the odd, creepy, ultimately psychotic one.Sorry to say, same old, same old... get past what i call the dirty uncle plot (unpleasantly over familiar) plus the dire casting and the film is barely watchable, unfortunately it gets worse by the end of the film as the plot expands and you are treated to a blow by blow synopsis of what you have been unceremoniously treated to for the last hour and a half, instead of eluding to the initial story and letting the viewers fill in the gaps... it becomes very tedious.Are there any original plots left in this genre?

Who thinks up this rubbish? Really, you would think that by the time they had to shell out some cash for the film/videotape they might have had second thoughts. It just wasn't worth the effort, it is shallow, the acting is atrocious, the plot is ridiculous and it should never have got off the drawing board.Surely if there is funding around to make trash like this it could be better spent on a good cause rather than trying to hash up this rubbish.There is an over abundance of UGLY bad acting Chinese, and an over abundance of bad acting westerners, in fact it is terrible - "I Will Beat You Until Your Mother Rejects You" Such an amazing script!There is not one redeeming feature about this movie apart from the end credits - Thank God it is over 1 hour and 22 minutes of sheer garbage.
