30 Nights of Paranormal Activity with The Devil Inside The Girl with The dragon tattoo ( 2013)



TRAILER

IMDb

Seriously, this comedy—well, more like a parody—is totally unlisted!!! 🙏

I swear, I have never in my entire life seen a movie that was actually better despite having such a bottom-of-the-barrel rating on IMDb. It’s just a massive parody of all those big recent hits: The Dark Knight Rises, Paranormal Activity, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo...

Jacob, you've gotta be kidding me.
Come on, just admit you're joking.

I stopped getting hyped over parodies a long time ago 😢

Tonight was alright, Immortal Weapon, but those kinds of movies just don't hit the same anymore... 👎

That scene where his ghost is totally wrecking his wife? Absolutely epic! 🙏🤣

And honestly, that exorcism part where he flips backward onto his hands and feet in bed and then just lets out those massive farts? It’s freaking hilarious, I can't even. 😂

No, I am definitely not kidding.
I am dead serious here.

I've always had a soft spot for parodies. If a movie is genuinely funny, why should it need a high rating? After all, those kinds of films aren't exactly designed to win an 😉

I totally agree with you there. I mean, at the end of the day, the whole point of a comedy is just to make the audience laugh, right? So just because a movie gets a low rating doesn't mean you should automatically skip over it—especially when we're talking about those B-list parodies that can actually be surprisingly fun if you go into them with the right mindset!

I have a massive soft spot for parodies... 👋

Which movies does it actually parody? I've only ever sat through the first Paranormal Activity...

But seriously, just compare this parody to What a Guy, Immortal Weapon, or even those first two Dark films...

3/10

Gotta bump that score up a bit just because of Christopher fuckin' Daniels!

If you’re actually into parodies, then you are seriously going to love this one! Seriously, if that's your thing, you've gotta check this out.

It’s all right there in your opening post!

I honestly thought you were pulling my leg and that this was just going to be some total garbage, but the reality of it is actually quite hilarious 😂
Abraham Lincoln 😁 😁

Thoughtful, witty, stellar acting... everything seems to fit together perfectly, doesn't it?

My verdict:
movie: 1/10, humor: 0/10, plot: 0/10

Seriously, there isn't a single redeeming quality to be found here. It’s easily one of the worst films I’ve ever had the misfortune of watching in my life. And mind you, I usually find movies from those Dark film producers—you know, things like Meet the Spartans, Disaster Movie, or Give Movie—to be perfectly fine...

The person who started this thread really deserves a warning for misleading us all...

It’s easily pushing its way toward being one of the absolute worst releases of 2013.

Witty, smart parody.
The acting is solid too (except for maybe three or four scenes involving those one-off bit players).

It’s an "internal parody"—which means if you haven't seen the movies being referenced, the whole thing just feels mindless and dumb. Obviously, besides needing to know the source material, the deciding factor is the viewer's sense of humor and their ability to spot the "illogic, absurdity, or uselessness" in an event—whether in real life or on screen—that inspired the parody in the first place.

Alright everyone, let's call it a day, this isn't even funny anymore.

I finally sat down to watch this movie after cosmiclynx57 recommended it, and honestly, I’d be absolutely livid if I had actually spent a single buck on this... I mean, time is money, after all 😠

The film is just NOT good, it's NOT funny, and frankly, it's mostly just irritating and incredibly tedious. Seriously, which scene was supposed to be humorous? Go ahead, name five funny scenes and maybe then I'll reconsider my stance... though, looking back, there might not even be five to find, because out of two hundred attempts at comedy, they barely hit the mark. It just leaves you feeling completely numb and apathetic towards the whole thing.

Once again, I'm telling you, this is a TOTAL DISASTER of a movie—don't waste your time watching it just to see how bad it really is.

Funny to you? You just claimed there are maybe five funny moments out of the entire movie.

Besides, there might only be about five (funny scenes) anyway.

Funny to you—which doesn't mean anyone else finds those specific scenes funny.

...but out of 200 attempts, that's not enough.

Duration: 1h 19min...

A new scene every fifteen seconds? So, something funny every fifteen seconds? By that logic, what comedy is actually successful?! What thriller is a real thriller? What horror is actual horror? What crime drama is a genuine crime drama?

How many scenes in that movie did you even recognize as parodies of other films? Even if you did, how clear was the parody to you—like, which specific characteristic was being mocked and why? Did you connect any scenes to the movies on this list?
(Sure, matching every single scene to a specific moment from another film is something only a total cinephile would attempt... but on average, a "good" experience just requires the viewer to vaguely remember scenes from three or four major films being parodied)

This is bound to be just as ridiculous as the title itself 🤦

Come on, don't be like that. It’s honestly one of the best Black comedies out there. Don't be a jerk while you're sipping juice in the suburbs just because the title sounds a little dumb.😉

The title was totally fine (it was basically called 'Don't Be Mean'), and honestly, that comedy was legendary.
I mean, this has gotta be the longest title in history, especially since it's mashed together from four different movies.🙄

You're talking nonsense here...🙂

I’ve sat through Abraham Lincoln, Paranormal Activity, and even Men Against Women, plus I'm familiar with The Apprentice (Trump), that whole bidding show, and a few other things... and honestly, not a single joke landed for me. Not one.

Look, it’s obvious my sense of humor doesn't quite align with yours or the rest of the general public, but I can definitely tell when something just isn't clever. Beyond that, the production quality is just abysmal—the camera work feels totally aimless most of the time, and the characters are nothing but irritating...

But let's get into the actual specifics: did you actually find those Ghostbusters funny? Or that bit where the vacuum cleaner was used as the daughter's choice? Did those lesbian scenes even make any sense at all?

I went into this movie with an open heart, because, as I mentioned before, I found Meet the Spartans to be watchable enough... but this? This is just plain bad.

Good grief... 🤦 I can't believe this is what I'm spending my time debating.

P.S. The movie is only about 80 minutes long, yet it felt like there were two or three "jokes" crammed into every single minute... and I don't think I'm even exaggerating there.

Two posts. Fine. Truth be told, there isn't anything brilliant in them... but "nonsense"? 🙂

I watched Abraham Lincoln, The Conjuring, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and I'm familiar with The Apprentice (Trump), that bidding show, and several others. Not a single reference was funny. Not one.

Again -> it wasn't funny to you.
I'm fairly certain that if we were to analyze this (in a "scientific" way 😁), you'd be forced to admit in most places: "yep, this scene actually offers a meaningful and witty parody of that scene from that movie"... As for whether it's actually funny? Heh, you probably still wouldn't find it amusing...
(but engaging in that kind of analysis via messaging—finger-pointing—isn't an option; besides, there's no sense wasting time or energy on it)...

It's clear my sense of humor isn't the same as yours or the rest of the population, but I can recognize when something lacks intelligence.

I'll grant you the part about the sense of humor, but as for "recognizing what's intelligent," I have no reason to take your word for it.

Furthermore, the film has terrible production; the camera work often makes no sense...

Production, directing, cinematography... I'm a complete layman there. Those factors don't (consciously) influence whether I like a film or not.

But let's talk specifics: did you find Ghostbusters funny? Or the vacuum cleaner gag involving the daughter's choice? Did the lesbian scenes make any sense at all?

The "Ghostbusters" were irritating in most scenes, though they were perfectly fine in a few (two or three). I haven't seen the series that Ghostbusters /Ghost Hunters/ were "taken" from, so I can only assume—based on the scenes I do know that seem to fit—that they are depicted that way for a valid reason.
As for the vacuum cleaner, it could have been funny, but it was just... a vacuum. It would have worked just as well without it (unless there's some specific tie-in to the original film).

I think regarding /for a film like this—the concept, not the revenue/—it doesn't matter much whether you or I (or anyone else) likes it. What matters is whether we actually understood what it was trying to say. Essentially, the question is whether we possess enough data required to watch (and comprehend) the film.
For instance, if I don't know who Dina and Goran are, then the joke below lacks any sense or humor (even marginally):
"why is Dina giving birth when Goran is just Karan" (just an example, nothing else came to mind)

Good grief, 🤦 I can't believe what I'm discussing.

I don't see the point either. Honestly, how you experience this movie is just as irrelevant to me as my reaction is to you. We're all just here on this forum "convincing" one another—or maybe everyone else?

PS. The movie is about 80 minutes long and had 2-3 gags per minute. I'm not even exaggerating.

Depends on how you count "gags." Is a single bedroom scene (kinky stuff) one gag, or does every single line of dialogue count as its own gag?
