Alone and desperate to save her unborn child, Sara fights to stay alive as each of her potential rescuers die at the womans sadistic hands. Amazon.com: Hailed by several critics as the first great French horror film this millennium, Inside opens on a gory note and stays true to the bloodfest throughout. But rather than using splatter-gore for comedic effect, as did young directing team Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo's predecessor, Hershell Gordon-Lewis, this duo timed their gore to build tragic suspense, scene after disgusting scene. The strength of Inside's plot is its simplicity, though the film is slow at first. Pregnant photojournalist, Sarah Scaragato (Alysson Paradis), has just lost her husband in a fatal car accident and is in recovery when her baby is due on Christmas Eve, in fact. Morose, she rejects friend and family visits, opting to stay home. A bewitched predator, played by Beatrice Dalle, senses Sarah's vulnerability and seizes upon it like a spider capturing prey in its web. The tale, woven around maternal psychosis, reveals Dalle's haunting preoccupation with stealing Scaragato's unborn baby. Each character who enters Sarah's house, the "war zone" as one doomed policeman puts it, encounters the wrath of two women fighting with mirror shards, knitting needles, scissors, hurled kitchen appliances, and even a homemade bayonette. Like the best horror thrillers about motherhood---Rosemary's Baby, Don't Look Now, Alien---Inside seizes ample symbolic opportunities to exhibit the primal obsession women have with babies. Even better, Inside invites feminist critique as do other female-centric horror films such as Ginger Snaps, whose plots not only include strong, vengeful female victims, but also sympathetic, criminal femme fatales. An entertaining "Making of Inside" featurette follows, revealing makeup and special effects techniques. Inside is for a specific audience; as scenes get redder and wetter, the squeamish may find it sickening---beware and enjoy. —Trinie Dalton Average Rating:
 Rating: - What's Going On "Inside"?I normally don't care to do reviews for movies, but I felt I needed to for this film. First off, I really wanted to give the film 5 stars, but 5 stars is a masterpiece, and while this film is very very close, a couple of stupid plot points keep it just shy from getting there. Fair warning, this film is extremely gory, so not for the squeemish at all. I must say I enjoy watching a movie that actually lives up to its reputation. The overall plot is excuted well, with little room for ... Read More Rating:  - The more hype a French horror film gets...Inside (Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury, 2007) It has seemed to me ever since the terrible Haute Tension scored an American theatrical release that the quality of any French horror film is in inverse proportion to the amount of hype it receives on this side of the pond. I've yet to find an exception to the rule from the past five years. As no French horror film in that time aside from Haute Tension has received as much hype as Inside, I pretty much knew what I was getting going in. ... Read More Rating:  - Lives Up to the HypeEver since "Inside" first hit the DVD shelves, I've heard people praising it's originality, it's suspense and most of all it's gore content. I wasn't sure if I would enjoy a "French" horror film after sitting through "High Tension" (which was fantastic, except for the ending which made no sense). As someone who isn't too keen on reading subtitles, I hesitated in watching "Inside" for that reason as well. But based on some high recommendations from the good folks found on the horror forum here ...

The emotions run high.The acting was really great. Made me want to look away in the one scene(You know the one)but still,I just had to take it in.If you want horror that disturbs and entertains.Then Inside surely will deliver. DVD has both orginal ... Read More Rating: - One of the Most Gripping Horror MoviesThis movie takes you where no horror movie has ever gone before. It's beyond scary. One of the darkest, most disturbing, most taboo-breaking of this genre. And I've seen a lot of them. Browse for similar items by category:
