Watch The Evil Within For Free

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

People are voting emotionally.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The movie was good i like dark psychological horror so this was a surprise i wasnt expecting much and really enjoyed the movie. I enjoy movies that have something diffrent than run of the mill horror so i liked it

"The Evil Within" (2017) is a horror film about a mentally challenged man, Dennis played by Fredrick Koehler, who goes on a killing spree after befriending a demon that appears to him in a mirror that simultaneously torments him in his dreams. His brother John, played by Sean Patrick Flanery, is charged with caring for Dennis, which he does, but he wants to send him to a professional facility however he is very particular about where he will allow his brother to reside. The premise of this film is a twist on the norm, but some of the actions that emphasize Dennis' loss on reality are a little over the top. It appears this film is more about trying to make people uncomfortable rather than instill fear as with common the genre. This film is interesting if nothing more than to find out how far they will go.Andrew Getty, both writer and director, does an astounding job capturing the audience's attention from the beginning. Though the monologue does feel extremely long, he makes up for it with creepy visuals. The acting is not "top notch," but the camera work is to die for. For example, when John is speaking with Mildy Torres, played by Kim Darby, from social services, the camera appears to never stop moving. This concept is not new, but the way each shot flowed into the next without using traditional cuts was gripping. It allowed the film to maintain its eerie feel while having a serious discussion about the well-being of both John and Dennis. This film is not for everyone. As an avid horror genre enjoyer, I question whether I will revisit it. However, the camera movements and techniques, with exception to the car accident shot, provide a unique feel that should be observed. The storyline is a creative and twisted take on family caring and mental stability. I would recommend this film to those with an affinity for camera work and a strong will for the adverse.

Unfortunately, the film was really below my expectations. Always sorry to make a bad review about the movies but this is not what the poster and the feeling of the film was expected....

I've seen so many horror movies the latest years and every time I get so disappointed because all of them are "American Hollywood style" following the same pattern. I keep watching horror movies just because movies like this. Suddenly you find something truly unique and then you get totally hooked.I knew nothing about this movie before and I did not know the tragic story behind the movie or anything. I saw the first 20 minutes and it just felt weird so I stopped watching it and did something else. The day after I kept on watching it again just because I was curious. I don't regret that! This was totally f****d up, but in a very good and artistic way. I did not really understand every part of the movie, especially not the ending. But it is good to leave some parts for your imagination.Definitely worth a go if you want something that is not yet another shitty haunted house movie.
