The Devil Inside (2012)
No soul is safe.
In Italy, a woman becomes involved in a series of unauthorized exorcisms during her mission to discover what happened to her mother, who allegedly murdered three people during her own exorcism.
In The Devil Inside, consciousness is carried by monsters and creatures — a plane of “possession horror”. The story fights on E8/E10 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing possession, faith, evil, exorcism, religion.
