“The Inside Experience” Has Unsatisfying End…Or Does It? Dan Koelsch, August 5, 2011August 5, 2011 The eighth and final episode of The Inside Experience was released yesterday and showed Christina getting saved, but we got no answers as to why she was kidnapped or who her captor was (which angered many ARG players). However, this may not really be the end, as the captor’s last video implies. See for yourself after the break. People who went to the train station actually saw the detective featured in this episode standing at what we know to be the crime scene entrance. As the creepy video from the captor suggests, there is more to this story, and the website and DJ Caruso have given August 14th as the day the entire film will be released. Considering this is on a Sunday, I imagine it will be released on the official website.Inside, presented by Toshiba and Intel, is directed by DJ Caruso and stars Emmy Rossum as Christina Perasso, who has been kidnapped and only has a Toshiba laptop to connect to the outside world. Through social media, you follow her plight against her unknown keeper and help her survive, discover the truth, and eventually escape.
