Synopsis
INNER DEMONS follows an 'Intervention'-style reality show crew that films an episode about a sixteen-year old girl, a former A-student, who is fighting addiction but may in fact be suffering from something even more destructive: demonic possession. The movie is an inquiry into the truth about her - with symptoms that straddle the disturbing and scary intersection between insanity, addiction and true possession.

Los Angeles Times
Credible performances, effective visuals and tight pacing round out this chilling effort. - 50
The New York Times
The main drawback of Inner Demons, no matter how skillful the presentation may be here, is the overriding sense that this has all been done before. - 40
Variety
The goofiness is redeemed somewhat by a wickedly violent climax — the exclamation point at the end of a rather simple sentence. - 38
RogerEbert.com
The film makes one damning if unoriginal observation—the "reality" presented on reality TV is manufactured—and then does nothing to expand on it. - 30
The Dissolve
Neither Grossman’s uninspired staging nor the performances help much. - 30
The Hollywood Reporter
The rather routine imitation of reality TV-style camera and editing techniques, along with uninspired special effects associated with Carson’s spiritual affliction, don’t attempt to break new ground but gain little by repeating familiar formulas. - 25
Slant Magazine
There's a disingenuous offering of pathos to accompany the film's ridiculous and violent denouement.
