The Devil Inside is a 2012 found footage horror film directed by William Brent Bell, revolving around a woman who gets involved in a series of exorcisms during her search to find out what happened to her mother, who murdered three people as a result of herself being possessed by a demon.The film was initially written as a conventional thriller, but studio disinterest prompted a retooling into the found footage format, which led to it being picked up by Paramount in hopes of having a repeat of Paranormal Activity's success on their hands. While it saw uncharacteristically high profit levels for a horror film of its time ($101 million gross on a $1 million budget, partially because of a well-edited trailer attached to copies of Paranormal Activity 3), any further financial gain past its opening week alongside plans to continue the film's story were swiftly dashed. This can be attributed to its unanimous critical panning, primarily for an ending that has gained far more notoriety than the film has relevance.Has no relation with the Survival Horror game of the same name, which came out 12 years earlier, or with the YouTube series, though it shares a similar premise. | |

Ripped from the Headlines | |
| The Devil Inside / int_1616e13 | comment |
Ripped from the Headlines: The film began as one of the writers read about the Vatican offering an exorcism course. And the name Maria Rossi comes from a real killer as well. And all real facts stop here. | |

Artistic License – Religion | |
| The Devil Inside / int_a27c0c2c | comment |
Artistic License – Religion: Virtually every claim made related to Catholicism is the opposite of how it's actually practiced. For example, the priests claim at one point that a possessee would not be repelled by inverted crosses, as they are blasphemous symbols — forgetting that an inverted cross is actually known as a "Petrine Cross", a holy symbol associated with Saint Peter (who apparently requested to be crucified upside-down, feeling himself unworthy to share Christ's death) and his successor, the Pope. At another point, they claim that it is important to recognize the identity and infernal rank of the demon, when the Catholic guidelines are to completely avoid playing into the demon's ego and simply treat it as "the Devil, an enemy of Christ". | |

No Ending | |
| The Devil Inside / int_ea2e9f2d | comment |
No Ending: One of the most infamous and thoroughly maligned examples in modern horror, if not modern film in general. At the end of what would be the second act of most films, right when the plot just seems to be setting up the third, all of the main characters abruptly die in a car crash and the film ends on a black screen that reads "The facts surrounding the Rossi case remain unresolved. Visit therossifiles.com for more information on the ongoing investigation." Reports of entire audiences breaking out in jeers and boos afterwards were far from uncommon; you can listen to one such example here. What's worse? The website had virtually zero tie-in material to the film, mostly limited to standard promotional material like character bios and ticket information. Adding insult to injury, the site was shut down shortly after the film's theatrical run. | |

Asbestos-Free Cereal | |
| The Devil Inside / int_f538e4b | comment |
Asbestos-Free Cereal: The film's advertising made quite a big deal out of the Vatican allegedly being less than happy about its production and release. The sole quote on its DVD calls it "the film the Vatican doesn't want you to see" — you know, as opposed to all those other movies centered around demons and Satan that the Vatican's completely okay with. | |
