It Lives Inside is the latest indie horror offering to be unleashed onto horror fans who will ultimately find this to be a sheer disappointment. A intriguing and creepy premise is hindered by awful direction and a lifeless script.
The problem with It Lives Inside is that it borrows heavily from other superior horror flicks and copycats the formula to the point of parody.
All the actors give fine performances with what they are given but with a template that is generic and stale, they are unable to save this and elevate it to classic horror movie status. This movie does not feel like it belongs in the theaters but dropped on Netflix to join the other generic horror films that flood the streamer platforms. Quite frankly this would have been much better in an anthology series then a full length feature.
Tedious and exhausting by the finale, you will want to leave the theater and do something more productive with your time.
