Anyway, for fans of the horror genre it's really hard to read reviews. Most of the time mainstream critics will rate these movies low when they are released. But in this case, even some of the horror/genre websites are rating the movie low.

Funny thing, I was reading a mainstream review and they compared the movie to the Paranormal Activity series. How the PA series is great, and this is a really bad ripoff. Of course when the first PA movie was released it received really low (mainstream) ratings, and now is a "classic".

One review that I liked is the one from io9: http://io9.com/5873613/ (The Devil Inside is a great exorcism movie possessed by a bad one). That should give you an idea. Anyway, I think I made my mind and will wait for Netflix.

True, but one ending with a prompt to visit a website sounds lame as hell.

Apollo 18 had that as well. Didn't work then either.

Here's the problem with the ending: IT ENDS MID-CLIMAX.

As someone who has loved Paranormal Activity (and the most recent outing), The Devil Inside is the cinematic equivalent of getting a dick slapped in your face.

Because the breakdown was ‘A’ = 16%, ‘B’ = 18%, ‘C’ = 24%, ‘D’ = 23%, ‘F’ = 19%. I’ll admit I went to public school but I think this should have got us a ‘C’!”

This apparently has a rare "F" cinemascore

Just pulled this from Wikipedia because Deadline said they've never seen a movie get an "F" cinemascore before:

Six films have earned the F grade, including George Clooney's 2002 remake of Solaris, and five horror thrillers: Ashley Judd's Bug (2006), Wolf Creek (2005), Darkness (2002), The Box (2009) with Cameron Diaz, and The Devil Inside.

Question: Why doen't Cinemascore have a website showing what every movie has been rated?

I loved the remake of Solaris for two reasons:

1. I thought it was an interesting adaptation/re-imagination of the novel and Russian film.

However, most of America is retarded and probably had no fucking clue what they were walking into. I've never seen more walkouts during a film than Solaris. When the film started, the theater was close to 75% capacity. By time the end credits appeared, the theater was close to 20% capacity.

... and I thought The Box was fun. :shrug:
