Watch Infernal For Free

I love this movie so much

Overrated and overhyped

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This movie had barking dogs. And deep, sinister laughter. And high-pitched cackling. And a naked demon that liked to crawl into the bed of an eight year old girl. And a demon hand petting that same eight year old girl. And crickets. Lots and lots of excruciatingly LOUD crickets. Oh, and a soundtrack sung by a self-styled and self-produced musical artist that mildly sucked. He was incredibly nasal, but the music part of the songs was pretty good.That's all this movie had going for it. The scares were non-existent. The family and friends support was barely recognizable. The only scene worth mentioning was when the eight year old girl bludgeoned her mother to death. It's worthy of mention only because of the gratuitous and vicious brutality with which she dispatched her matriarch. With a ball peen hammer. To the face. Repeatedly. It sounded like she was pounding the hammer into a pumpkin. The girl was cute, but annoying. They 'diagnosed' her as autistic. Granted, they had the repetitive motions symptom down, but the rest wasn't accurate at all. She made eye contact. She was highly verbal. She was very aware of the world around her. I know because my grandson is an eight year old autistic, and he's only now regularly using his words.The movie was a hot mess all around. Not even the halfway decent acting on the part of Nathan and Sophia could save this turkey.

Some how, I feel that this movie should have been titled "Intolerable". That, at least, would have been an honest description of the overall feel of this horrible movie.The acting is bad. The story has been done many times. The writing is the worst I've seen in years.. the situations portrayed on the screen where.. I can't even call them "laughable" because this movie was so bad, it made me angry that I paid $7.50 for it.If you're going to make a "found footage" type of movie, you can't just mindlessly film everything. Why is that camera on? There's no damned good reason for that camera to be on, while you're having a conversation with your friend.. if only to catch that one moment the scene was written for.. it's asinine.Do NOT buy this movie, hell, I don't recommend viewing it for free..I've never, in all my years of horror movie watching, ever done this before.. I've deleted the file from my media center, broke the DVD, and thrown it away.. this is how bad this movie is.

From the opening scene, this film was off to a bad start. The sound was awful and it was poorly acted. Acting improved but sound was bad throughout the movie, with constant cricket noises and the dog sounds were unrealistic. Also the demons laughing at each appearance wasn't scary at all. The effects were cheesy and cheap. Apparently this was shot on a budget because there was no CGI, which would have helped. It was just a couple guys in cheap costumes crawling around, not scary. Also whoever wrote the script had a thesaurus and a need to impress everyone. It makes whoever it was sound stupid and petty. Please don't waste your time like I wasted mine.

The plot is a well constructed, nicely written story that creates a pretty dark nightmare. The found footage has plausibility with the whole camera situation added in at the behest of a family therapist. So that aspect of "Infernal" seems solid enough. The film doesn't stay found footage, moments of tradition third-person POVs are thrown in sparingly. Mostly when the film takes a more dramatic, emotional pause to allow for the full heft of the situation to settle in with the audience. It does a good job too! Overall the film is acted and directed nicely. The production is above basic, with a higher quality of HD camera footage mixed in thanks to the father's new obsession with the "family exercise". The special effects are mixed bag, both in gimmick and in effect. The higher production quality follows through in these paranormal aspects of "Infernal" but do not give intended chills or thrills that the director is aiming for. Most scenes of the malevolence come off more like a Halloween horror commercial for Meijer's or some Haunted house attraction. It is done with things most of us possess in storage to be brought out on our favorite holiday. So that was disappointing. That being said, the last third of this nightmare is truly affective in both dramatic and emotional effect. A totally disturbing slice of paranormal horror. Overall "Infernal" is not the best that paranormal horror or found footage possession flicks offer. Plus I felt there was a deeper spiritual agenda at work in the story, as if this was one of those Church-backed horrors meant to cause the audience to question their own spirituality in hopes to gain new members to Christianity or something along those lines. Anyway, everything seen in this film has been seen to death in this subgenre. But do keep in mind that I think the last act of "Infernal" is some of the most powerfully moving, deeply disturbing, in your face horror footage in indie horror. It is dark and intense, too bad this sucker didn't catch that bug from the beginning. (note-For me the last act begins once you move past the "gold lame- ish looking disco demon').
