Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Firstly, I have to say Frederick Koehler was fantastic as the mentally handicapped boy. The film took Andrew Getty 15 years to completely, and sadly the film was released after his death. Andrew did a great job experimenting with interesting effects and visuals, which all blended together so well, and actually made me think I was inside the mind of the handicapped boy and the way he interprets everything around him. I did, however, found the film a bit slow moving and even a sense of deja vu at times, and also became rather weird towards the end.
A young mentally handicapped boy who lives with his older brother life begins to crumple after he's brother brings him an antique mirror in his room, and a old demon who lives in it demend he do evil things to his family. The Evil Within is a very sadistic and twistic tale of loneliness and how it is to be different in this world. What I liked the most about this film is it's originality, and what limit the director is ready to go. The young Frederick Koehler, is really greati in this film.
Honestly I have watched and watched this movie and it amazes me every time. Lead character is just so brilliant. in my opinion takes place of dustin Hoffman in rainman.. It will leave you guessing and always leave a doubt in your mind. Only one word Amazing.
Dennis (Frederick Koehler) is mentally handicapped (R-word sometimes used) but you wouldn't know it by his coherent thoughts. He is cared for by his brother John (Sean Patrick Flanery). Dennis has nightmares with Michael Berryman in them, but who doesn't. A recently placed mirror in Dennis' room allows him to communicate with Berryman who turns into a reflection of Dennis. The reflection instructs Dennis to do this with the promise of making Dennis mentally whole.The production hides a lot of the gory scenes and at best gives us glimpses. The film is different take on evil entity commanding a person. Dennis is a unique character who is hip to many things. The horror aspect doesn't rely on jump scares, just the slow anticipation of what you know is coming.Guide: F-word. Nudity (Brianna Brown described as "outlandishly hot")
