Movie Review – It Lives Inside

It Lives Inside was better than I thought it would be. I honestly didn’t know much about it going in, that worked out well for me because I had no expectations. So when I left, I left happy.

One of the things I really enjoyed is the movie makers are giving us more movies that highlight other cultures. I enjoyed seeing the Indian traditions and their folklore. By the time it was over I was craving Indian food.

The story itself is very similar to so many other movies out there but the big difference was the cultural aspect. I’ve always enjoyed seeing how people who are from completely different backgrounds handle situations. What I’ve learned from viewing these types of movies: we all bleed. In the end we’re all the same. Whether it’s a Chinese background, an Indian background, a Russian background…I could go on and on, it simply comes down to the fact; we all bleed. Bleed too much and you die.

We’ve kicked off the Halloween season with, “It Lives Inside,” if this movie is a clue as to what we’re in store for, color me impressed.

Overall, I’d recommend seeing this flick. It doesn’t scream, “You must see this in the theater!” I would have actually preferred seeing it at home, a few scenes were so dark and the dialog was somewhat hard to hear, so having a rewind button would have been great.

Grade: B-

About The Peetimes: I found two solid Peetimes. I warn you that the movie depends a lot on visuals. I tried to steer clear of those moments.

There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of It Lives Inside.

Plot
An Indian-American teenager struggling with her cultural identity has a falling out with her former best friend and, in the process, unwittingly releases a demonic entity that grows stronger by feeding on her loneliness.

Love love love this app. And, after receiving an email from Dan (the creator) that read as though it was a one-on-one communication sent only to me, I felt compelled to leave a long-overdue review. My son and I are absolutely addicted to this app…especially since I discovered it at the onset of the Marvel craze. Now we use it to confirm if there is a scene following the credits. Often times, we are the ONLY ones there watching the bonus scene…and it cracks us up. LOL! Thanks, RunPee!

Christene Johnson (RunPee Sis)

RunPee.com owes RunPee Sis a huge debt of gratitude. She sees any movie needed with no complaints and has done so for ten years (even basing Thanksgiving and Christmas family festivities around the seeing films). In 2015 Sis ran the entire RunPee enterprise herself, while RunPee Dan, Jilly and Mom went traipsing off to Europe. Sis is the spider in the web holding the RunPee family together — besides being a funny, well rounded person, and a joyous pleasure to be around. Her favorite films start and end with horror (which thank goodness she’s happy to see, since most of us don’t have the stomach for it) — but also likes silly comedies, sad dramas, and musicals of all types. If you’ve used a Peetime for a scary film, you probably have RunPee Sis to thank for it.

Favorite movie genre: Horror, horror, and more horror. The more disturbing, the better. Period.
