The portrayal of Christians in this movie is so bad that you would have to be entirely ignorant of the religion to suspend your disbelief. You have Church members beating other people up, lying, fornicating, kidnapping, and committing all manner of violent crimes, and not despite their religion, but because of it, in the name of the lord. It ruins the whole film. It's like watching a movie about orthodox Jews and somehow they're all at Sonny's eating barbecue. It just doesn't happen. Or like watching a movie about the army where are all the rank insignia are wrong. If the Christians had been portrayed more realistically, like committing crimes without simultaneously preaching, or even more realistically, if they weren't portrayed as Christians at all, the movie would have been much better. It's too bad really. It was a good idea for a horror movie but the stupidly unrealistic portrayal of Christians ruined it.

Being a devout Horror fan as well as an easy grader, I usually look for explanations regarding my own personal taste whenever I don't enjoy a Horror film. In From Within's case, I'm not sure if I've seen too many Horror films, or too few... I just know I didn't enjoy it.Th idea for the screenplay is nice and original and the acting is rather decent, but that's about it... the build up is confused and mixed up, the exposition is in chaos and the script is at some points unbearable (not the dialogues as much as the behaviour of the characters...) This is all just my personal opinion of-course, but I felt like such a well thought of idea could have really been carried out in a much much better way.The ending did have some nice twists to it, but again, everything is confused and lacks basic order, therefore preventing the audience from being able to follow the events and really get into the film's story and experience. Then again, it may have been just me.All in all, I can't objectively say that my criticism is accurate, as it's just my opinion. So I can't really recommend that you watch this film, nor that you avoid it... sorry :)

Am I seriously the only one who hated Elizabeth Rice? I don't understand why they chose her to play the leading lady. I see people complaining about the script, but I thought the script was great. Elizabeth Rice just doesn't know how to act. The other characters were very believable, but Elizabeth Rice just could not get into character. I didn't believe a word she said. All of her lines were spoken in the same tone, and her only believable expression was when she was crying when she found out that Claire died, and then when she learned that Aidan had to kill himself. I'm sorry, but her eyebrows were just so distracting, too. They're so bushy and she kept moving them, probably to distract us from the fact that she is terrible at faking emotions. I give the movie a 9/10 because luckily, the story, script, cinematography, and other actors made up for Rice's lack of skill. Sadie is hilarious, and I love Margo Harshman in everything she does. I own the movie, and have seen it several times, and I still sob every time I see Aidan kill himself. Even though I am a girl, movies rarely make me cry. I thought Thomas Dekker's acting was amazing right before he was going to kill himself, too. I also did not mind seeing him shirtless at all, even though it was too obvious that the only reason they had him shirtless was so we could have a sexy bod to drool over. Roy was pretty amusing, too, and made me want to start every sentence with "Shit, man". I wonder where they got the idea for Lindsay's strange family, and how Trish got custody of her. What happened to her mother? Doesn't she have any other family? I can overlook this, but they really should have explained this better since it's such a weird situation... I also like how they made the witches the good guys, and the hypocritical-psycho-Christians the bad guys. Even though the witches did put the curse on the town, you can still sympathize with them. I'd want revenge if a bunch of crazy people went and killed my mother for something she didn't do. And once Aidan realized that at least Lindsay wasn't like the others, he regretted what he did, and was willing to take his life to make things right. We all make mistakes and make stupid, impulsive decisions out of anger, but we don't all make up for our mistakes, and most of us wouldn't if it involved killing ourselves. Aidan ended up being a much better person than the Christians in that town, and that is true a lot of the time in real life, as well. I don't have anything against Christians, but I can't stand Christians who are huge hypocrites and horrible people who tell me that my beliefs are wrong and that I'm the bad person. I can relate to Aidan, so I really loved his character. Overall, this is one of my favorite movies, and most people will probably enjoy it if they can look past Rice's acting.

This movie start with Natalie sitting with her boyfriend Shaun as he reads he kisses Natalie . Natalie believes he wants to have sex with her - until he pulls out a gun and commits suicide.Then see Natali going to father shop covered in blood and tells her someone after and then not soon after she also killed herself.There more people have stared to kill them self in recent days. , Dylan and rest of the town people (who are really religious) think that Aiden's family has got something to do with the recent deaths as he mother used to do witchcraft before she was killed.I really enjoyed this movie, i did find this movie scary but it did have some really creepy scenes, the twist at the end I was like " no way", it was one of those really fast and short twist which i think made it bit more shocking (for me).I really liked this movie, i going give a 8 out of 10
