Betz was inspired to make the film after he and his girlfriend had both been "creatively dead for quite some time" and he'd woken one night to hear her making strange noises while she slept. This prompted him to come up with the idea for The Dead Inside and he chose to make it a musical after watching Sarah Lassez perform at a karaoke bar.

Synopsis
Fi (Sarah Lassez) and Wes (Dustin Fasching) are deeply in love, but they find themselves forced to take unfulfilling jobs in order to make ends meet. Wes would rather take pictures of things that interest him, but has to work as a wedding photographer. Fi has been suffering from writer's block and her steady job as the author of The Dead Survive, a series of zombie-themed books, isn't helping her creative juices flow. Their tenuous existence is further threatened when Fi begins to develop signs of schizophrenia that are revealed to be possibly demonic in nature.

Reception
Fangoria gave the film three out of four skulls and stated that the movie was "a gratifying, rarely predictable experience that works as a musical, relationship drama and horror film simultaneously." Ain't It Cool News praised the film's acting and music, but stated that the movie had "a few pacing issues towards the end as it feels the angsty lyrical hysterics seem to overstay their welcome".
