1 | * CreatorKiller: The poor reception of the film temporarily killed off Creator/{{Paramount}}'s Insurge Pictures sublabel[[note]]originally made for micro-budget films like this and ''Film/ParanormalActivity''[[/note]]. Following this and the failure for generating hype for the North American release of ''Film/TheLovedOnes'' (which tried to generate hype the same way ''Paranormal Activity'' did), it was relegated to near direct-to-VOD movies (with the exceptions being ''Film/ProjectAlmanac'' and ''Music/KatyPerry's Part of Me'', the former's underperformance killing it for good) and shut down in 2016. |
2 | * GenreKiller: For FoundFootageFilms. While ''Film/{{Chronicle}}'', released a month later, was well-received, the genre as a whole started to decline in popularity. To date, no found footage film has been able to match ''The Devil Inside'''s $33 million opening. |
3 | * KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The website touted in the film's infamous ending went offline not long after its release. At least it's accessible on the Wayback Machine. |
4 | * 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. |
5 | * StillbornFranchise: Plans for a sequel were swiftly aborted after the massive fallout that followed the film's lack of an ending. |
