  • Filmed in: Bucharest

The Devil Inside is a 2012 American supernatural horror film directed by William Brent Bell, who co-wrote it with Matthew Peterman and co-edited it with Timothy Mirkovich. It stars Fernanda Andrade, Simon Quarterman, and Evan Helmuth. Presented as found footage, the film follows a woman as she becomes involved in a series of exorcisms during her quest to determine what happened to her mother, who murdered three people due to demonic possession.

Production

The film traces its origins to 2005, when Matthew Peterman read about the Catholic Church's school of exorcism and approached William Brent Bell to suggest using the idea for a screenplay. The two co-wrote a traditional script but eventually, according to Peterman, "got frustrated with that process". Following a suggestion from producer Morris Paulson, they rewrote it into a style reflecting the mockumentary and found footage techniques.

Principal photography began in 2010 in several locations, including Bucharest, Rome, and Vatican City. Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Steven Schneider took the film to Paramount Pictures, who ultimately produced it through their low-budget branch Insurge Pictures, acquiring the film as their first release in the hopes that it would replicate the success of Paranormal Activity.
