- 70Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinLos Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinCredible performances, effective visuals and tight pacing round out this chilling effort.
- 50The New York TimesBen KenigsbergThe New York TimesBen KenigsbergThe main drawback of Inner Demons, no matter how skillful the presentation may be here, is the overriding sense that this has all been done before.
- 40VarietyGeoff BerkshireVarietyGeoff BerkshireThe goofiness is redeemed somewhat by a wickedly violent climax — the exclamation point at the end of a rather simple sentence.
- 38RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsRogerEbert.comSimon AbramsThe film makes one damning if unoriginal observation—the "reality" presented on reality TV is manufactured—and then does nothing to expand on it.
- 30The DissolveKeith PhippsThe DissolveKeith PhippsNeither Grossman’s uninspired staging nor the performances help much.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweThe Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweThe rather routine imitation of reality TV-style camera and editing techniques, along with uninspired special effects associated with Carson’s spiritual affliction, don’t attempt to break new ground but gain little by repeating familiar formulas.
- 25Slant MagazineClayton DillardSlant MagazineClayton DillardThere's a disingenuous offering of pathos to accompany the film's ridiculous and violent denouement.
