Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Charlie-52 Terrible acting, terrible story line, terrible cinema work, terrible everything. At one point you see a doll supposedly walking across the room by itself. It is obvious that it is a puppet and you can actually see the puppeteer's hands in the top of the screen. Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.

befoulmetalroosa 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.

TheLittleSongbird Although there is no bias intended, this viewer really isn't a fan of found footage movies (even the best of them seen, so far, have a lot of major problems). Most of them are poorly made, amateurishly written and acted, have a lot of scenes that lead nowhere or don't make sense, have little atmosphere and don't have much point. Infernal has all those flaws and more and is one of the worst of the lot.For starters, it looks cheap. Photography is both erratic and sloppy, never is it expansive or shows any intimacy with the characters, instead it is a visual eyesore and some of the shots are superfluously random. The editing is every bit as haphazard and incredibly badly paced, with a lot of the first quarter's scenes in particular having a very draggy and going on for too long feel. The movie is also rather too darkly lit in places, the found footage and even some horror clips are clumsily inserted and add very little and the effects and creature costume look dreadfully fake. The music more often than not did not fit within the movie, too much of the wrong mood and tempo, is overbearing and even on its own it's irritating.That it's very poorly recorded makes matters even worse, the sound quality throughout is just awful with parts being flatly recorded and others shrilly. The sound effects go well overboard in the bizarre factor, and often don't sound anything like what they're meant to sound like. The script is one of those where one has to express shock at how it was even approved in the first place, it always sounds painfully awkward and contains lots of irrelevant cussing, clunky rambling and shrill arguing that grates on the ear fast. Never once was the story engrossing, there are too many scenes that go nowhere, serve nothing to the story and they go on for far too long. It also drags badly, to the point of being interminable in places, too many parts are confused to the point of not making sense at all and there is a complete lack of scares, suspense or horror as a result of the bad pacing, being too unintentionally silly, looking cheap and being too tame.Same with the characters, who are little more than done to death stereotypes with annoying or non-descript (or both even) personalities, while the creature was more laughably silly than menacing. The direction is so flat that it borders on incompetence, and the acting across the board- with the sole exception of Alyssa Koerner, who's cute and creepy, even with having little of worth to work with- is far too amateurish to ring true.Overall, an awful movie and one of the worst of a type of film that's never done much for me. Koerner is the one halfway decent thing about Infernal, and even she is not enough to save it. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Hate Infernal This movie is so ridiculously horrible that it's depressing that anyone ever thought this was going to turn out even mediocre. The acting is abysmal the plot is non existent and it doesn't even begin to make sense. The film starts out with some of the most awful acting ever, so bad that I suspected that it was dubbed over. A couple goes through some turmoil as the woman reveals her pregnancy and the man is all "Oh no, commitment oh god whatever shall I do". The woman asks for a marriage to accompany the child and the guy goes and makes a tape ring and yay they get married. Right after they get married, Lucifer himself shows up and a cross gets turned upside down and this sound effect (which will be repeated across the entire film) starts that sounds like it was taken off of the internet because the director realized his film was scheduled for release in an hour so he was like "SCREW IT GRAB ANYTHING". It might just be the worst scene ever. But at least that scene made me die laughing. The rest of the movie is oppressively bad and more then anything boring. It's a generic found footage film except it spices the formula up by making it awful. They managed to take a dump on any merit the original concept of found footage ever had. There is no explanation for an eight year time skip in which apparently nothing of remote interest happened. They didn't even bother to make the actors look even remotely aged. EIGHT YEARS AND THIS MAN STILL WEARS A LAZY FIVE'O CLOCK SHADOW. The first sign that anything is wrong is that the girl likes to brush her hair. She also is apparently anti-social though this is expressed by her standing off somewhere. Then the girl disappears some comb horror occurs and the movie cuts to therapy. The therapist apparently recommends constantly monitoring her, hence the found footage, despite knowing she has autism. A disease that inherently causes problems communicating with others. Obviously the best solution is filming everything so we can see Gollum come in to the tune of the worst sound effect ever and pat peoples heads. LIKE WHAT IS EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE GOING ON!? She likes to comb her hair, why is that weird? What? The parents act like they've been through and back but this kid does literally nothing. She seems fairly manageable and since nobody ever acknowledges the footage that shows the physical entity of Satan entering their daughters room and carving symbols into the back of her head, what exactly is stressing these people out? COMBS?!
