Another horror movie, another found footage thing. The German cover is quite misleading by the way, just in case you saw that. This is kind of by the numbers (if there is such a thing with exorcism rituals). You may like it a bit better than I did, but I didn't really feel there was much to it.That being said, there have been worse Found Footage and exorcism movies. So this isn't really super bad (no pun intended), but it just doesn't quite make the cut. Predictable and kind of stretching out, this does offer a couple of scares at certain places. Not enough in either direction, so if you are in need of more horror, you could do worse than watch this. But if your time is valuable, maybe skip it

I thought the concept of this found footage flick was pretty good. The director had produced several episodes of "Intervention", and perhaps this can be thought of either as an expose or satire of that TV show. SPOILERS************************ The fact that the staff of this Intervention-like show are so jaded and cynical is pretty funny to begin with, and the fact that the girl was possessed instead of a drug addict eventually wound up giving the staff exactly what they deserved. The director and whatever the fat guy was were both killed by the girl, and the PA/cameraman was seduced and eventually possessed by the demon. I don't know why people took this film so seriously; it was obviously intended as a kind of very dark subversion of the Intervention scenario, and as such was very entertaining. One great touch was the girl shoving the phony script that her supposedly best friend wrote for the intervention segment down the friend's throat! Another was the look on the face of the baldy producer when the girl started speaking in a demon's voice during the intervention. Some other dark comedic touches were when the nurse tied her to a tree and covered her in goat's blood to save the girl's life, and wound up getting fired for it. After watching the scene where the woman director tells the head of the rehab hospital that the show is never going to plug his rehab hospital again when he boots the possessed girl out of the place, I don't think I'm ever going to take the show "Intervention" seriously again...

6.5/10. A young religious straight A student becomes an intravenous pill and heroin user seemingly overnight and causes turmoil for her family. Believing she is on a path of destruction, her family agree to let an Intervention style reality show document her addiction and eventually try to get her into rehab.As they follow her every move, they come to realize that she believes she is using drugs to hold back something sinister inside of her and that she has no other choice.Once she goes to rehab and is off the drugs, events are set into motion and the real fun begins (for us, at least).This entertaining found footage possession horror doesn't offer much new to the genre but does deliver some scares and an entertaining story. In the quagmire of these types of movies being released these days, this is one of the better ones and worth a watch.

Inner Demons is a new and interesting take on the demon possession genre of horror.Inner Demons is told in the vein of an unaired reality show episode similar to Intervention, called "Step Inside Recovery". It is season eight and the producers are pretty disillusioned and are just trying to get a shocking backstory and footage to keep ratings. Producers get what they asked for when the featured addict Carson says she's possessed by a demon and that's what is causing her addiction.Yes, Inner Demons is technically unoriginal because once again we have a possession horror film. There are so many different versions released by now that how can anyone matter to add something new to the genre? Writer Glenn Gers manages to do just that by rethinking the idea of addiction. Every drug addict has a reason, always trying to dull the pain that lurks underneath and figuratively kill the darkness inside but Gers reinvents the causation of drug addiction to be literal. It is quite surprising this has never been thought of before, to my knowledge, and is an intelligent choice.Carson is played by Lara Vosburgh who does a really wonderful job playing a demon possessed drug addled heroin/Oxycontin addict. Morgan McClellan is Jason, the new PA and camera operator who takes to Carson, believing her story, and trying to save her from the darkness. Both are sincere in their portrayal and provide surprisingly well acted roles in Inner Demons.Seth Grossman provides the direction to Glenn Gers's witty and realistic dialogue. Nothing is sacred as the production crew insensitively and bluntly discuss their subject Carson with zero empathy.Once Inner Demons focuses more on the demonic possession of Carson the film becomes more formulaic and expected and lacks the sinister gore typical of a person consumed by evil.More reviews in FULL can be found at our website.
