Happy New Year! This week at the movies, we’ve got just one new wide release — The Devil Inside, a tale of demonic possession starring Fernanda Andrade and Simon Quarterman. What do the critics have to say?
It appears the folks behind The Devil Inside feared their film would be exorcised by critics, since it wasn’t screened prior to release. It’s the tale of a young woman who brings a film crew to Rome, hoping to rescue her mother from demonic possession – and avoid the same fate herself. Kids, put down those pitchforks and guess the Tomatometer! (And check out this week’s Total Recall, in which we run down some memorable devil films.)
Once Upon a Time in Anatolia, a minimalist drama about the search for the body of a murder victim, is at 94 percent.
