| Film InquiryDavid FontanaThe Evil Within is far from flawless, but it's hard to argue with Getty's devotion to this singularly distinguished work of art. |
| StarburstJ.R. SouthallThe fantastical landscape of the film is also forgiving of its flaws, as any shortcomings in the script or direction simply feed into the sense of things being not as they should be. |
| StarburstAndrew Marshall[It] will not be for everyone, and as the years pass it's likely that the story of its prolonged production and tortured creator will become better known than the film itself, but one thing you can say for sure ... Getty has left his mark upon the world. |
| User ReviewJose VThis is the first time I have ever writing a movie review and the reason why is because this movie truly surprised me. This movie was amazing and the acting was completely on point. Honestly the kid in the moive deserved to become big in Hollywood. |
| User ReviewPlay TExcellent horror film. One of my favorites this year. |
| User ReviewRon MThis movie is such an amazing build up. It is rare you see such a beautifully done story like this one...but the ending... The ending is both bad and out of place. Almost feels like they ran out of budget and threw it on because they ran out of time. I would love to see this with an alternate ending. |
| User ReviewAlan GA little off-putting, but well worth your time if you've got Amazon Prime. |
| User ReviewCarlos IThat was awesome. Takes a bold and fresh take on a well worn story. It's more impressive with it having such a problematic production. Looking at the scores and reviews blows my mind, the shit people talk... I guarantee, with time this will gain quite a following and reputation. |
| User ReviewLee MAbandon all hope of finding reality here, that's not what this movie is about. Isn't either the regular horror movie. Yes, there's some details here and there, yet again, not what the movie is about. What it is, a trip into the protagonist's -and therefore Getty's- broken mind in so many senses, right from the opening, with that depiction of a dream as I can't remember in any other movie. This film is flawed as dreams are flawed, full of subplots with no ending, characters with no purpose and things happening for no reason. Just like any other dream |
