The Possession of Anne

Came across this little gem and I have to say, I really liked it. The premise of a woman doing her own exorcism is pretty novel to begin with, but they really made it work even with a smaller budget. There were a few times during the movie where I legitimately got goosebumps (most of which involved maggots) and there's a really palpable sense of dread the whole time. Unlike studio pictures like the Conjuring or Insidious that are so overdone and FX heavy, The Beast Inside is a little more DIY and as a result it feels like it's happening in front of you. The whole thing feels way more "real" than I expected and it packs a pretty good punch. Sadie Katz and the rest of the cast give it everything they have and commit to their performances, and they really do drive it all home. If you're a fan of indie horror, definitely give this one a look.
