The Devil Inside movie opens with a 911 phone call. Maria Rossi informs the 911 operator there are 3 dead people. The 911 operator is confused about the emergency. Maria claims to have killed 3 people. The actual Maria Rossi audio dialogue from The Devil Inside movie is shown below:
This is The Actual 911 Call Placed from the Home of Maria Rossi on October 30th, 1989
Maria:
Three... three people.
Dispatcher:
Three people...
Ma'am, what's the problem, are you injured?
Maria:
Three people...
Three people are dead.
Dispatcher:
Did you say dead?
Maria Rossi:
I... killed... them.
Send the police.
Dispatcher:
Ma'am, excuse me, who did you kill?
Maria Rossi:
I killed everyone
Maria hangs up the phone.
Dispatcher:
Ma'am? Ma'am?
Dead tone.
In my opinion, the actual 911 call from The Devil Inside movie is staged. The 911 operator seems too passive, failing to investigate the events which transpired in the Maria Rossi home. This dialogue is written to build suspense with a beginning, middle and end structure to set an eerie tone.
The Devil Inside filmmakers mixed Hollywood fiction with facts to feed the demand. Thus, moviegoers leave The Devil Inside movie questioning the realism of the actual events. Who is Maria Rossi? Did Maria Rossi murder two priests and a nun while undergoing an exorcism? Are we supposed to believe that priests/exorcists are performing unauthorized exorcisms without the Church's approval?
The Maria Rossi 911 call is a good marketing vehicle to promote The Devil Inside movie. Future moviegoers will watch the exorcism movie based on the ambiguous murder and exorcism events. We tend to think that documentary films convey realism to make such events appear real. The Devil Inside movie depicted the Maria Rossi 911 call as an actual murder event which took place on October 30, 1989. Collider conducted an interview with The Devil Inside producer, director/writer and the co-writer.
