The Devil Inside in 90 Words or Less

.

Why is it so damned impossible to make a good exorcism movie? Did The Exorcist just gobble up everything there was to be said? I feel like there must be a way past Blatty's eternal beast, but The Devil Inside is not the way or the light. It doesn't even seem to be trying - it's a lazy talky thing that relies on its wooden actors to just suddenly randomly start yelping at any given moment to goose a scare. Blah blah BLAH blah, and repeat.The devil deserves better.

The trailer for the Jeffrey Dean Morgan film was pretty creepy.

Is that the Sam Raimi produced The Possession? I haven't watched the trailer yet but I did hear it looked good. I'm wary of trailers though because it seems easy to make a good trailer for one of these movies - hell The Last Exorcism had a good trailer, and I did not like that movie.
