A beautiful Indian American teen, Samidha (Megan Suri), just wants to fit in with her suburban classmates in the new horror “It Lives Inside,' which opens in theaters Friday.
A beautiful Indian American teen, Samidha , just wants to fit in with her suburban classmates in the new horror “.” But there’s a demon at large and it’s not hormones or puberty — it’s a literal monster that will maim and kill you and anyone who tries to help in this grisly, if imperfect, metaphor for the immigrant experience.
Unfortunately for Sam, Tamira has gotten pretty weird. Her childhood friend skulks around school like a ghost, hidden behind a curtain of unbrushed hair and cradling a cloudy Mason jar like her life depended on it – not exactly the kind of person that an aspiring popular girl wants on her resume. And it just gets worse because, naturally, IT does live inside that Mason jar and that Mason jar is unable to withstand a fall to the floor. Oops.
Her parents are a bit confounding and frustrating too – as she becomes increasingly paranoid and scared they respond like she’s just a delinquent who has broken curfew or been caught skipping school. The only one who seems to care and listen is her teacher , which does not put her in the good graces of the vindictive, flesh-eating Pishacha.
“It Lives Inside” is still a welcome respite from the other long-in-the-tooth horror franchises populating theaters this time of year in that it’s just something new – new faces, new themes, a promising filmmaker to watch – but I wish it would have embraced more of the things that make it unique as opposed to trying to fit in with its genre brethren. Sort of like Sam. I mean, Samidha.
