A Demon Within

source: A Demon Within

A Doctor who's recently lost a daughter and a wife, befrienda a young woman and her teenage daughter, after moving into his old house, short afterward a strange things begin to happened. A very Amateuric horror film which give us a fine acting though but the storyline is so familiar, and so overdone.

The only thing that qualifies this as a horror film is just how horrible a film it is! Slow, tropey, awful acting and plot holes galore. Never have I cared less for any of the characters in a film: even the tittular demon was a weiner! I feel bad for the cast and crew who likely hoped they might make money or film cred based on their time involved. Once you read the plot synopsis on line, you're all done and saved yourself 90 minutes or so. Like the review title says, "ugh".

I'll I can say is my wife and I learned to appreciate really good acting after watching the horrible acting in this movie, but since we bought it on-line, we had to watch the whole thing. Painful! However, it's our first runner up for the Mystery Science Theater Show where the robot and his side kick make fun of the movie when they watch it.

This movie, had my eyes rolled the entire time. The acting is horridly bad! Whoever did the editing needs to find another career and the person who hired that editor needs to be fired.. matter of fact, all involved needs to be fired! The only movie worse then this is Netflix's "Open House" , which is saying something.....

I caught this one on Showtime Beyond channel, and I liked it! It has a dark, creepy atmospheric feel, and the movie doesn't waste time on useless characters. Patricia Ashley is fantastic as the possessed girl! She definitely has the eyes, and the haunting stare that is tailor made for a role like this, and I hope to see her in many more similar roles. Get your popcorn and drink ready, but beware, better leave the lights on for this one, this one will get to you!

Please save yourself from this terrible movie, if you want to call it that. These must all be first time actors or everyone's just really bad. I'm happy I caught it on showtime and didn't spend actual money or effort renting this. I would have been mad. I'm someone who can overlook a little bit of bad acting but this, this is the worst acting I've ever seen. Save yourself and skip please. Plus the mom is more concerned about getting a boyfriend than anything else, it's desperate and hard to watch.

I could not get enough of this film! You don't often find character development in horror movies, but this one is full of it. I really enjoyed that the cast was small and intimate, I wasn't struggling to keep up when the scenes got dark and scary. The budding relationship between Clint Hummel and Charlene Amoia distracted me from the horror. Overall it was a good scare and definitely kept me out of my basement for awhile. I would suggest you give it a go if you're into horror films and budding romances!

A Demon Within is the kind of film that terrorizes you before you go to sleep. This sounds like a horrible thing but it just goes to show how scary of a film it really was. The director Justin Lareau really show that he knows what he's doing with demonic movies with A Demon Within. If you like "The Conjuring" or "Insidious" then you should watch this movie because the possession scenes in all three were creepy as hell. My only advice is just don't watch this movie alone because I was afraid a demon was going to come from within my closet. This movie really did a number on me. If you're a horror fan like me then please go watch it because I loved it.

A DEMON WITHIN is another tired and predictable EXORCIST clone, made on an indie budget in Illinois. There's no FX to speak of here and virtually no horror content, just endless tedium with a few cheesy moments added to the mix. This generic movie rips off all and sundry and has a real tiredness and lethargy on the part of the crew. Who can blame them?
