Religion, suicide and witchcraft are the terrifying threads of cinematographer/director Phedon (3:10 to Yuma) Papamichael’s supernatural shocker. Inexplicable deaths are plaguing the village of Grovetown. Fundamentalist fanatic Dylan blames the seeming suicides on dark forces. In particular outsider Aidan just arrived back in town after the suspicious fiery death of his mother whom the locals proclaimed a devil-worshipper. Soon Dylan’s girlfriend Lindsay has joined Aidan in trying to stop a curse not only threatening life but also uncovering hidden secrets. With inventive staging and a refreshing take on psychological horror, Papamichael makes supernatural presence palpable while keeping terror personal. As the situation reaches critical mass and skeletons tumble out of closets, it becomes clear that guilt, as much as faith, is at the heart of Grovetown’s troubles. And in a stunning climax From Within proves teen horror is best served when pitched with a grown-up frame of mind.
