History Film / TheDevilInside

''The Devil Inside'' is a 2012 FoundFootage {{Horror}} film focusing on a supposed exorcism and the aftermath thereof. Costing $1 million to produce and approximately $10 million to promote, the film made over $35 million in its first week and over $100 million worldwide overall, making it a commercial success despite panning by the critics. Notably, though, its [[NoEnding lack of anything resembling an ending]] caused some audience to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAgkNBd78J8 break out in jeers]].

!!Provides Examples Of:

* NoEnding: At the end of what would be the second act of most films, the story comes to a halt. Right when the plot gets interesting and the third act is supposed to start, 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.'''" 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.

* CatScare: An AngryGuardDog barks at the protagonist. [[http://thechronicleherald.ca/artslife/51509-devil-inside-had-audience-swearing-screen Many a]] [[http://saraegoodman.blogspot.com.br/2012/01/devil-inside-wasnt-scary-so-heres-list.html reviewer]] declare it's the scariest scene.

* NotScreenedForCritics: This was cited as the likely reason the film opened with blockbuster numbers in its first week and then virtually disappeared in subsequent weeks.

* EvilSoundsDeep: Everyone who gets possessed starts talking guturally.

* CoversAlwaysLie: The nun who appears on the front appears in one scene in the middle of the movie as a background character and has nothing to do with the possession.

* CriticalResearchFailure: 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 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".
