The sold out 10:20PM showing of William Brent Bell and Joaquin Perea's The Devil Inside movie proved to be extremely popular. Moviegoers waited in a long line that wrapped around the middle of the movie theater and on all the way to the front entrance. The Devil Inside movie is an exorcism movie that injects fear into moviegoers who enjoy a good scare on a Friday night. With a running time of 87 minutes, the movie moves rather quickly to the final climatic scene.

Maria Rossi (played by Suzan Crowley) calls 911 to report a gruesome murder. The 911 operator learns that Maria brutally murdered three Church servants. Disturbing footage from within the home reveals three bloody bodies. The police take Maria into custody, where her sinister stare from inside the police car spooks the movie audience. Is this woman possessed by demons or is she a nut case who snapped?

Maria's super hot daughter Isabella Rossi (played by sexy Brazilian Fernanda Andrade) made me forget the movie was about an exorcism. Isabella resembles a younger version of Jennifer Lopez, who hypnotizes male moviegoers with her natural beauty. While Isabella speaks to the cameraman, we immediately discover The Devil Inside movie chooses to explore a documentary filmmaking style to create realism in exorcisms.

Isabella travels to Italy to investigate her mother's past. She attends the Church's Exorcism school to mine for facts about demonic possessions. In that moment in time, the Exorcist teacher shows the room a videotape of a woman which sparks a debate regarding whether she is possessed or mentally insane. It is revealed that multiple demonic possessions are possibly in the possessed.

Isabella interviews the Priests to gain an understanding of an exorcisms. The foreign accents make for a rather interesting tone, giving The Devil Inside some authenticity to depict the world capital of Exorcist teaching. Isabella learns that her mother is more troubled than she anticipated. Maria knows that Isabella terminated her pregnancy due to complications. Moreover, the mother shows cut wounds on her forearms and on her lower lip.


Ben (Simon Quarterman) and David (Evan Helmuth) convince Isabella to attend an unauthorized exorcism to experience the process firsthand. Isabella agrees to take part in a young woman's exorcism. The eerie exorcism shocks the hell out of the team, though the Exorcists manage to free the young woman from her demonic possession.

The most challenging exorcism (Maria multiple demonic possession) exposes the entire Exorcist team to the demons living inside Maria for the past 20 years. To avoid spoiling The Devil Inside movie plot, the unorthodox bending, crawling, foul language, inverted crosses, and mighty superpowers displayed in The Devil Inside movie lead moviegoers to an abrupt movie ending.

The Devil Inside movie is the first exorcism movie to be released in the movie box office in 2012. The exorcism movie is performing strong in its first weekend in release. We can expect The Devil Inside to slow down since the movie ending disappointed many moviegoers. If you decide to watch the Devil Inside movie, be prepared to explore the evil inside the exorcism world. You have be warned!

Exorcism Movies List

Exorcism movies are rather disturbing since the concept is most likely possible in the physical world. We look at the possessed as vulnerable to the evil of demons and the Devil. The possessed must undergo an exorcism to rid their body of evil demons. Ordained Priests/Exorcists perform exorcisms under extreme conditions to free the possessed. They must overcome demons who can attack their core.

Any person standing in the face of the possessed must never look them in the eyes. The eyes represent the portal to the human spirit. A demon can enter a human body through the eyes. Demons can read minds, using secrets and pain against a person to weaken people. Acknowledging the Devil and having strong faith in God are required to cast out a demon.  

The essential goal of the Priest is to find the demon's name, and then use it to cast out the evil. The power of an exorcism is only as powerful as the faith the Priest has in God. In order to defeat the Devil, you must believe in His evil. The Devil is the most evil entity that preys on the weak.
