Okay, I consider this something of a public service announcement. Don't go see The Devil Inside. I won't go tell you what you should see, but that movie... never have I seen so many people coming out of a theater with so many variations on "What a waste of seven bucks" in my career. Just from doing the math (start-time to drop-time, with 10-20 minutes for previews) I can tell you it's about an hour and twenty minutes long. As if that's not bad enough, the credits are the slowest I've ever seen. Literally, they go by at a snail's crawl. I was shocked at how quickly the audience left prior to the movie dropping. Most movies have four minutes of credits, this had eight. So either the country of New Zealand took a break from making The Hobbit and mourning Legend of the Seeker to all pitch in for this, or they're scamming you with some straight-up Roger Corman shit to get to feature length. An hour fifteen, that is not feature-length, that is maybe a two-parter of your average TV show.

What's more, the movie doesn't end. It literally stops mid-scene with a note saying "That's all the footage we have, go to this website to find out more." Other movies have ARGs to support them, this is a movie dedicated to supporting an ARG. I mean, it was kinda bullshit when you had to buy a book to find out how Babylon 5 ended and it was really bullshit when you had to play a Flash game or whatever to find out key plot points on Lost, but this is like the shit of Bullos, King of Bulls.
