The Devil Inside debuted at the top during 2012′s first weekend, and so far, the box office is off to a great start. This is a good sign. The low-budget fright film made an outstanding debut of $34.5 million – that’s a lot more than last year’s Season of the Witch.

No, this isn’t a filmed version of the INXS song, it’s a found footage exorcism film due out in January. The Devil Inside comes from writer/director William Brent Bell, whose last horror outing was the miserable Stay Alive (2006). Here he seems to have figured out the hotter horror trends – found footage, exorcisms – and mixed and matched them. Here’s the trailer.
