Review of I Know You're in There

Tom (Will Hurst) has a great life with a great girl friend (Karin Lee) with red bras and wonderful cleavage, not Maria Bartiromo wonderful, but still wonderful. He discovers his estranged mother has committed suicide and he has a catatonic schizophrenic sister, Chloe (Grainne McDermott) who is really just plain catatonic. Rather than just leave her in professional care, he decides to take her back to mom's home and record things for his thesis, whatever that was. The home is in the shadow or area of Mt. Shasta and we hear an Indian legend about evil spirits living in the shadows of the mountains. The stage is set. Mom supposedly killed herself because she was off of her meds. Tom has a bottle demon which he rediscovers while taking care of Chloe. His girlfriend eventually enters the picture.

The film creates the necessary background for a horror thriller. And like nearly every film of this type, things change gears at about 30 minutes into the feature, and goes over-the-top at about an hour. The production gives you ambiguous closure in case they have funding for a sequel.

The nuts and bolts of the film were pretty good and a fair creep factor. We don't know if Tom is crazy, or Chloe is faking. Seasoned viewers might be a little more critical of the formula scenes and dry-humping that passed for a sex. I also thought the facial spit was out of character. All in all it was a watchable rental.

Guide: F-word. Sex? No nudity.
