Le diable en moi

The scariest thing about The Devil Inside is that a major studio like Paramount Pictures, which is distributing it, may be able to squeeze more profit out of a tedious, tediously exhausted subgenre that was already creatively tapped out when The Blair Witch Project spooked audiences more than a decade ago.

As a result, the would-be thriller proves as scary and unsettling as a slab of devil's food cake - only considerably less satisfying.

Admittedly, this hot potato possession is kind of fascinating to watch, but it's also extremely difficult to follow.

Well folks, only six days into 2012, I can safely say that I've seen the movie that's all be guaranteed to end up number one with a bullet on my “worst of 2012” list when I write it next December.

L'interminable introduction ne propose aucun discours intelligible, ne développe aucun personnage et encore moins une atmosphère de tension, de suffocation. Les scènes horrifiantes surviennent dans l'indifférence généralisée et le ton se prend tellement au sérieux qu'il est rare de réellement rire de l'imbécillité des situations.
