adi_2002 After a night at the club Alex along with her friend goes to a fortune teller and here the news aren't so good. Soon she begins to be sleepwalking, feels and heard weird sounds around her, on her body appears all sort of bruises and has visions. She is documenting on-line about demonic possessions when she is convinced that something is inside her. Nobody believes her and the only escape is the father of her teacher at school because he passed with this kind of event.Although is seems like the movie is a imitation of the classic back in '73 it isn't. First in "The Devil in Me" aka "Devil Seed" the person who is possessed is a student girl and not a little girl. In this the signs appeared after she went to a witch, in "The Exorcist" Regan did not go anywhere. Here the girl is not bounded with ties by the bed. The priest makes only one visit at the girl while in the other movie the priest makes more visits and the comparison could continue so let's enjoy the film on how it is and let the similitude in peace.

suite92 The introduction suggests a possession in 1972 terminated by the killing of the possessed young woman by a Catholic priest. Then we shoot forward to the present, say 2012, the year of the film's release.Alex rides home from an airport with Jessica; they arrive at the new house where they meet Breanne, and soon Brian. Brian was Alex's boyfriend, but he had been intimate with Brianne when Alex arrived. Alex's grandmother has been ill, which was why she was gone most of the summer. Brian acts like things are still good between them.That night they go to a party. Brian makes an excuse about needing to be with his father, and leaves the party early. As Jessica and Alex walk home a bit drunk, Jessica insists on stopping at a psychic's shop to check out whatever is needed to see the future.Sigh. So let's see, we've got sexual infidelity, drunkenness, and messing about with occult implements. In the setting of Catholic mythos, this means there has to be at least one bad consequence coming up.Jessica is incredibly insulting to the psychic, referring to her as a gypsy to hippie crossbreed, a 'gyppie.' This fits in with the plot, but what a terrible thing to say to someone you are going to for a service. The psychic asks for cash; Jessica supplies some for Alex to get a reading. The psychic guesses that Alex is an Aries, then asks which kind of cancer it was. Alex takes that to refer to her grandmother. The psychic goes on to say that Alex's mother has passed; the mother is worried for Alex. The psychic sees someone with Alex, and commands them to show themselves. The whatever takes possession, or at least a toe-hold with Alex then.Alex gets home OK, which seems unlikely. Then the signs start showing up: electrical appliances start of their own accord; things go bump in the night; whispering voices; the next day, unexplained partially healed lacerations.This is 30 minutes in. Bump in the night goes on for quite a while. Brian continues to cheat on Alex with Breanne. Alex starts to sleepwalk, in a creepy way. Alex and Jessica discuss this the next morning. Alex starts researching possession in the library and online. She does not seem to have the tools to get out of her situation.People start to notice. She meets with a mixed bag of effective and ineffective advice and help. The cheating boyfriend is not all that helpful, nor is the well-intended professor at first. Soon enough, Brian just blames the whole thing on her so he can break off the relationship. Jessica, at least, is able to produce calm for short periods.Things get much worse for Alex.Will Alex seek help? If so, does she get help? Will Alex be freed from the possession?------Scores------Cinematography: 6/10 The introductory sequence mixed with the credits just stank on ice. The closing credits were hideous as well. The actual movie, with these black holes removed, was not that bad.Sound: 5/10 Over-driven and unhelpful, in places; nicely tension building in others.Acting: 4/10 Most of the performances were amateurish. Shantelle Canzanese was fairly good as Jessica.Screenplay: 5/10 The writing establishes context quickly, which was nice. After the establishing phase, the action moves quite slowly. Much of the dialog is incredibly bad, which makes it worse.

artpf This movie is about Alex, a returning college student who moves in with her girlfriends after the holidays. They go out and have quite a few drinks and on the way home Alex and her friend Jessica go to a psychic where Alex has an episode and freaks out her friend and the psychic. The next day Alex doesn't have any memory of what happened and her friends think there's something going on with her. Over time, she starts having things happen to her, scratches, visions and ultimately rape from some being. Her friends start to worry about her even more and things take a turn for the worst when she loses control. What is inside her, and will they all live?This movie is nothing new...some of it is reminiscent of The Entity with Rosemary's Baby and some of The Exorcist thrown in for good measure, but it's actually pretty good in its own right, as long as you're not expecting a classic. It starts off making you think that it's going to be a kooky young kids get the devil in 'em movie, but soon takes a turn for the serious and it's pretty well done, overall.Yes, some of it is cheesy and some of it is silly, but it's watchable and fun. It will keep your attention for the most part. Try it, you might like it.

jaxbubba As far as demon possession films go, director Greg A. Sager does a really, really nice job retelling this classic story of devil finds girl, devil loses girl, devil finds new girl to plant his demon spawn into. The film is a combination of "The Exorcist" meets "Rosemary's Baby"; however, it's definitely not in their class of motion picture. But Greg A. Sager (remember this name) does a truly commendable job with a very limited budget, and this no-name cast.Alex, Jessica, and Breanne are college students returning back to campus for Fall term. Alex has had a very stress summer as she has spent it caring for her Grandmother, who is suffering from cancer. On their inaugural night back, the three girls let off some stream at a local house party before classes start in a couple of days. On their way back home from the party, Jessica talks Alex into going into a psychic parlor to have their fortunes read. In do so; the psychic accidentally unleashes a dark presence from Alex's psyche.Again I cannot overemphasize the incredible directing job of Greg A. Sager on this film. His attention to details in this film is something to behold. Please pay close attention to the doorways, as a "possessed" Alex moves through the household. Also when Alex finds out that her being a virgin, could be one of the reasons why the demon has selected her to carry his spawn; the first thing I said in my head, "too easy, go have some sex"… and that the very thing Alex tries to do… unsuccessfully I might add.So I definitely recommend seeing this film, it's mildly scary with a couple of well executed "jump" scenes; however, nothing that's going to keep you up nights. But I would never, ever pay money to see this film in the cinemaplex; best seen in the comfort of your home, with a big bowl of popcorn and the lights turned down. For a next generation of teens who do not have a clue of what "The Exorcist" or "Rosemary's Baby" were, this is the perfect "starter" film. So enjoy! However, just a note there is gratuitous sex and adult language, which is to be expected to most horror films nowadays.SEE MORE OF MY MOVIE REVIEWS ON FB @ "THE FARIS REEL"!!!!
