Movie Review: ‘The Devil Inside’

January 18, 2012

“The Devil Inside” is an awful movie. Everything about it is cringe-worthy … except for the parts that are supposed to be. Those are just lame.

Over the years, there have only been a few that I truly couldn’t stand. Although “Tower Heist” doesn’t fall in that specific category, it falls into another that is almost as bad.
