Credible performances, effective visuals and tight pacing round out this chilling effort. Read full review

Ben Kenigsberg

The main drawback of Inner Demons, no matter how skillful the presentation may be here, is the overriding sense that this has all been done before. Read full review

The goofiness is redeemed somewhat by a wickedly violent climax — the exclamation point at the end of a rather simple sentence. Read full review

The film makes one damning if unoriginal observation—the "reality" presented on reality TV is manufactured—and then does nothing to expand on it. Read full review

Justin Lowe

Oct 2, 2014

The rather routine imitation of reality TV-style camera and editing techniques, along with uninspired special effects associated with Carson’s spiritual affliction, don’t attempt to break new ground but gain little by repeating familiar formulas. Read full review

Neither Grossman’s uninspired staging nor the performances help much. Read full review

There's a disingenuous offering of pathos to accompany the film's ridiculous and violent denouement. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yet another false documentary, which desperately tries to be realistic but instead turns out as something cheap, confused and blatantly amateurish.

A teenage girl happened to take up with wrong guys, those by means of some cabalistic procedure have inserted in her some sort of a demon, which in his turn influenced the poor child to take drugs and disobey her parents. When the worrying progenitors persuaded her at last to undergo a course of medical treatment, things went only worse, what one may expect presuming that the diagnosis was wrong - the girl was treated for drug addiction, not for demon possession. Well, nothing is perfect, so for the modern medicine...

There was just one moment, on the fortieth minute approximately, when I detected something vaguely scary (you know, one of these funny things with big teeth and everything which jump in a mirror and begin making grimaces when we turn our back to it), apart from this rather standard appearance, nothing else even remotely scary (in my humble opinion) happened.

Well, I may only sincerely hope that watching this movie will teach some young girls how to behave well and not to behave badly, then it could at least somehow justify its existence. Amen.… Expand
