Movie Reviews of Inside (Unrated Edition)
Movie Review: annals intruder
Summary: 5 Stars
There was once a time when horror had to be scary, it made you sit on the edge of your seat so you looked like you were trying to hold in an inconvenient dookie, it made you jump and scream like you were a beehived babysitter at your first Little Richard concert. It left you in fear of going into the water, taking a shower ... heckers, it even made you scared to go near a sink hole, by which I mean the drain in the sink for fear that long, black hair tentacles will shoot out of it, not the kind that swallows up your house. Speaking of which, isn't it time for a "Blood Beach" remake? Starring Benecio del Toro as Capt. Pearson and Tony Shaloub as Sgt. Royko, directed by Alexandre Aja? "Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, you can't get to it."
Anyway, I'm getting off point. Horror movies even had to have a plot at one time. It was a dark time; humanity could hardly have been referred to as evolved. Thankfully, now you don't have to really think out your ideas before drenching them in dumpstersful of gore. I leave my brain hanging on the coat rack when I go out to catch the latest horror flick.
This is the agony of child birth, done up "Passion of the Christ" style so you'll feel like it's something more than the latest Jerry Springer installment, "I'm Going to Rip That Baby Right Out of Your Filthy Body and Raise It as My Own, You White Witch!" If you enjoy splattered stomachs and scooped-out eye sockets set to classical music, you're in for a real treat. If you expected something allegorical; nay, something that could be analyzed for clues at intent, it's already been done. So why do it again?
Movie Review: Now this is a horror film
Summary: 5 Stars
For some reason the French horror film Inside had slipped under my radar until today. Having loved some French horror films of late such as Martyrs and High Tension (up until the "twist"), and having not cared too much for others such as Them I wasn't sure where this movie would land in my opinion. I have to say that this is one of the most beautifully shot and deeply affecting horror films I have seen in recent memory if ever. This is a take on the slasher film, if one feels the need to categorize it. Where this film differentiates itself is in its unflinching style and unapologelic brutality. Inside goes beyond taboos and bravely travels into truly horrifying territory. The premise is simple, as you have surely read the synopsis. The boogeyman of this particular tale is simply and ominously referred to only as "The Woman." In this character the filmakers have created a new breed of slasher. This woman has obsessions and primal urges which cannot be satiated without bloodshed. And boy, is there ever blood. This film is one of the most realistically gory films I have ever seen. In fact the packaging dares you to not look away. This is a diefficult challenge to rise to as the viewer will see characters introduced and dispatched in brutal and uber-bloody ways. The style of the picture is what makes this film transcend horror and become art in my opinion. There are hints of John Carpenter and Sam Raimi sprinkled throughout. There is bloodshed that would Eli Roth positively blue with envy. This is a well thought out and expertly executed horror film, and a future classic to be sure. Five huge stars.Movie Review: This woman's got severe interpersonal troubles... doesn't she?
Summary: 5 Stars
Far from today's movie trend in unnecessary 3D, nauseating overabundance of (CGI) SFX and appalling and sterile reuse of yesteryear's successes, there is a few excellent horror movies that still succeed at what they are aimed for: creating shock.
`Inside' definitely belongs to this category of movies which favour creativity and audacity to convention and compromise... beyond its very classic storyline: a single pregnant woman is -of course!!- isolated in her house, it's dark and cold outside and nobody cares for her. Outside, a woman lurks around the house and wants to get in. Why? Simple story.
What comes out of the whole product, though, is an absolute, primeval, animalistic violence that breaks the barrier of taboos. The movie's about desperation: how far are you ready to go when you are deprived of your right to give birth? Come on... it's only about the confrontation of two women... well, yes but there's more. Acting's solid. SFX are old-school (ie, no CGI, thank God!). Shooting and picture quality are low-key but efficient. Multiple (unexpected) twists in the story contribute to wanting to see more. But that's the taboo-violating take of the plot that makes the movie stand-out in the constellation of slasher-movies which are way too often calibrated for a teenaged audience with their light gore and free violence and no subliminal message. "Inside" is way darker and definitely targets a more mature audience as it spares nothing to no-one, even the unthinkable. Faint of heart parents? Simply DON'T watch...
Movie Review: fantastic grassroots horror..by the french?!?!?
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best horror (or any other film for that matter) that I have ever seen. The story is very tightly crafted and engaging the whole way through. I have read some of the comments and questions related to this film; and let me say that there are no zombies or vampires in this movie so don't believe everything you've read. I have recommended this film to everyone I can and have gotten no negative feedback yet. Hell, even the making of doc on the disc is fantastic. It really gives hope to all of us that make horror movies on very low budgets. Now that is not to say it is of low quality; it's just amazing how they got it to look so good using good old fashioned old school horror tech. No CG blood here; just one instance of fire that was the only weird looking part to me, but I was so into it I can't even really complain about it. Fake blood through a hose and pump still work to this day if done with care, as is evident here. To comment on the lighting in the film; some have complained it is too dark at times. Watch the making of and they explain this and I think it will stifle most complaints. They could have put out the making of as it's own disc; it's that good. Just goes to show foreign horror is some of the best, although this was the first French one I'd watched but was glad. Oh yeah, it is subtitled. To close; this film was recommended to me by a editor for Fangoria magazine whom I'd met at a Type o Negative concert, so I'd like to this would add credibility to this review. Go buy the movie!!!!!!Movie Review: Lives Up to the Hype
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever 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 at Amazon I finally broke down and picked up this DVD.
WOW! It more than lived up to the hype. "Inside" is a truly great horror film. The suspense is top notch, the acting is fantastic, and the gore effects are disturbingly realistic. No need to worry about too much CGI in this flick.
The basic story is that one woman is pregnant, and another woman wants the baby....by any means necessary. That's it. No odd psychological twists, no cheap scares, motives are clearly defined for the characters actions, and best of all, it's an "adult" horror film. Not meaning it laced with tons of sex or nudity, but that the subject matter is written for adults, not the teen audience so commonly aimed for with the horror genre.
If you want a truly disturbing horror flick, one that will stick with you long after the closing credits, then be sure to pick up "Inside" right away.....make sure you see this version before the inevitable American Remake hits the theaters.
