It Lives Inside's Hindu Folk Horror Is Bad, and That's OK While painting a single coat of cultural specificity over its high school haunting, the horror's script flops. Our It Lives Inside review:
It Lives Inside movie review & film summary (2023) Average on the outside.
SXSW 2023: Only the Good Survive, The Wrath of Becky, It Lives Inside A dispatch on three very different genre films from Austin.
'It Lives Inside' Is More Metaphor Than Horror Movie Filmmaker Bishal Dutta’s tale of a folkloric spirit stalking a young Indian-American woman could have used a less heavy-handed approach.
'It Lives Inside' Review: Frustratingly Nonchalant Demonic Horror The demon at the center of 'It Lives Inside' serves as a perfect metaphor for the film’s frustratingly nebulous qualities.
It’s got a flesh-eating demon, but this horror plays it too safe It Lives Inside could be seen as overly conservative – even a fleeting kiss has dire consequences for its wide-eyed heroine.
‘It Lives Inside’ Review: Globe-Trotting Demon Bedevils a Teen in a Creepy Supernatural Tale Bishal Dutta’s debut 'It Lives Inside' is an effective if familiar chiller in which an evil Hindu mythological figure menaces Indian-American emigres.
