Leofwine_draca I saw this micro budget slasher under the title THE DEVIL WITHIN: RISE OF EVIL. It's a film about a teen party that takes place in the hills with all of the music, good times, boozing, nudity, and drug taking that you'd expect. The twist is that there's a psycho on the loose working his or her way through the cast, pushing this into horror territory.For this type of film it's quite well shot and features a convincing portrayal of high school life. The problem is that it's all set up with no convincing pay-off. One actor is the spitting image of William Sadler but doesn't have Sadler's talent. There's a lot of nudity and sexuality here but only brief snippets of gore and the unappealing characters make it near unwatchable, despite the glossy look.

crossx77-1 OMG this film is so bad its unreal, in fact its that bad I've even took the time to write this review which is something Id only do if something annoyed me so much that I feel I need to warn others. How it was ever made with such a crap script and bad actors is beyond me, it really has nothing good about it...... Oh I tell a lie the only 1/2 decent thing about it is partly clothed hot chicks; apart from that its not worth the energy pressing play on you DVD player!!!Hopefully there wont be a sequel and this film will be quickly forgotten because I for sure won't be remembering it!Hopefully this will stop others for making the same mistake as I did by watching this!

Nick Damian My review is this...As a music video, this would fare well.Lots of pretty faces and hot bodies.As a story,this sucks.It just drags on and is too boring.No gripping tension. No sheer terror or angst.Even the action is close to none...and for suspense???? Nay...none of that either.I didn't pay to rent this and I'm glad.Glamour porn is what this is...2 steps above softcore and 10 steps below a real movie with any real merit or grit to it.Scary??? NO! Frightening? No! I guessed the killer to be - in the beginning and was right.This just had much missing - even though it had so much to offer...but failed.To the director - keep making those rap videos and pop star videos.If you're short on work, you do great porn!

HorrorSociety Now, when I first heard about The Devil Within I was thrilled and when I read the synopsis I was even more but after I got done watching it I thought… it wasn't bad. It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. There is lots of room for improvement but there were some good things about it. The main story centers on a group of 'high schoolers' who are throwing a super 18 party, well, drama between the group heightens and on top of that… there is a killer loose.What I really enjoyed about this movie was the overall theme of this story… near the beginning of the film there is a long lecture of the 7 deadly sins and how greed leads to all sins, which is an interesting theory and it's also brilliant to see how these analogies play into the film because every character in this film is guilty of these sins. When the end twist arrives, it plays out real nice.The beginning played out well and it really sets up the tone of what this movie could have been and even in the end sequences, this movie gets heightened really fast and it turns into a horror/slasher flick that I actually enjoyed. There was blood, there were brutal killing scenes and I really enjoyed the twist.With that being said… there were some things that I did not like. First off, I was mislead into thinking this would be a supernatural thriller with the principal killing for rituals, then most of the movie turned out to be a teen drama and it wasn't horror until the very end, so to me this movie wasn't sure of what it was. I was kind of disappointed because I really wanted this to be a slasher or a supernatural movie.The characters were unlikeable with the exception of three; two being a couple of idiots and one being a teen struggling against her alternate lifestyle and the others are unlikeable… even the ones that I liked turned out to be cheating and bad and I get it's realism but I wasn't please.In essence, this movie was okay, it wasn't the best and it sort of let me down but I think this movie had a powerful message and I understand why the movie is called The Devil Within but I really wish this movie had executed properly. There were some powerful scenes but there is room for improvement. This movie was excellent but from a general movie standpoint it's okay.http://www.horrorsociety.com/
