The Devil Inside (film)

The Devil Inside is a 2012 American supernatural horror film directed by William Brent Bell, who co-wrote it with Matthew Peterman and co-edited it with Timothy Mirkovich. It stars Fernanda Andrade, Simon Quarterman, and Evan Helmuth. Presented as found footage, the film follows a woman as she becomes involved in a series of exorcisms during her quest to determine what happened to her mother, who murdered three people due to demonic possession.

The Devil Inside was released by Paramount Pictures on January 6, 2012. It received universally negative reviews from both critics and audiences, and has been cited as one of the worst films of all time; its ending was singled out for mockery, with some outlets publishing articles discussing whether it is the worst ending in cinema history. Despite this, it was a commercial success, grossing $101.8 million on a $1 million budget and topping the U.S. box office on its opening weekend before dropping drastically in the second week and then disappearing completely from the top 10.
