- Creator Killer: The poor reception of the film temporarily killed off Paramount's Insurge Pictures sublabelnote . Following this and the failure for generating hype for the North American release of The Loved Ones (which tried to generate hype the same way Paranormal Activity did), it was relegated to near direct-to-VOD movies (with the exceptions being Project Almanac and Katy Perry's Part of Me, the former's underperformance killing it for good) and shut down in 2016.
- Genre-Killer: For Found Footage Films. While Chronicle, released a month later, was well-received, the genre as a whole started to decline in popularity. To date, no found footage film has been able to match The Devil Inside's $33 million opening.
- Keep Circulating the Tapes: The website touted in the film's infamous ending went offline not long after its release. At least it's accessible on the Wayback Machine.
- Not Screened for Critics: This was cited as the likely reason the film opened with blockbuster numbers in its first week and then virtually disappeared in subsequent weeks.
- Stillborn Franchise: Plans for a sequel were swiftly aborted after the massive fallout that followed the film's lack of an ending.
