Movie Reviews of Inside (Unrated Edition)
Movie Review: Highly effective horror: takes pregnancy and maternal love into another level
Summary: 5 Stars
"Inside" literally goes into the belly of the beast: it is relentlessly brutal, bloody, violent, disturbing and endlessly grotesque. Call it the 21st century's answer to "Rosemary's Baby". One of the elements of its effectiveness as an exemplar of great horror cinema is its methodical stillness that does not feel clinical, but natural and ruminative: like languidly strolling through a horrific car crash accident. The camera looks on with little editing, occasionally emphasizing the spaciousness of the empty big house that is paradoxically claustrophobic with Gothic moodiness and hopeless despair, and all in all, offers a thoughtful examination of its main ingredient: bloody carnage, mostly done with a really sharp pair of scissors. Maternal much? Having seen the outrageously terrifying and philosophical "Martyrs", "Inside", sadly, seems tame, however slightly, compare to the former's no-holds-barred look at utter human depravity and existential horror. Nonetheless, its "tameness" still beats the myriad of unimaginative American horror films that overpopulate the theaters nowadays, and thus, on its own, proves that French filmmakers are some of the best craftsmanships of gut-wrenching and emotionally evocative horror that is gloriously drenched in blood and gore.Movie Review: Gory Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was totally unprepared when I began watching this masterpece of terror. I read several reviews and googled it and thought it might be ineresting since I'm a terror/horror addict. Wow, the movie hooked me in from the very beginning and by the final frame, I wanted a long, hot bath--to wash away the ocean of blood and guts unleashed during the 2 hour running time. The performances by the two main women was simply amazing. One of them is having a baby and the other one wants it. There begins a battle of wits and body. My only questions are minor: why did the victim call the police and they came by to check on an intruder and then left. Why didn't she just move into a hotel for the night. Instead, she goes back to sleep, knowing there's a human monster hiding out somewhere near. Towards the end, when the cops are blown away and the backup comes in, he spends precioius minutes--surrounded by dead bodies--as he tries to get the power back on. Why didn't he race out to his car and call for backup? These questions are minor however since the French cast and crew keep us riveted to the electrifying actions of our two female performers. This movie is definitely not for kiddies or those easily sickened by bloody violence. This is one great movie!Movie Review: What she wants is INSIDE
Summary: 5 Stars
Since I watched this movie about 2 months ago, there have been 2 cases of babies being ripped from their mothers' wombs, and both babies survived. A review I read made the statement that INSIDE improbably combines horror fanboy glee and real tragedy and this is true. Both female leads are very very good. Beatrice Dalle comes across like the Angel of Death as she slips into Alyson Paradis' world. There are no concessions to reality - once the film makes its first kill after 15 minutes or so, the viewer is dragged through a degrading nightmare. Yes it's very bloody stuff, but the film has a poise and artistry which are almost relaxing. This dvd promises to get as many plays as my Dark Sky edition of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - it's upsetting and adrenalising. All the way through I was routing for the baby to survive, and one of the most incredible moments is Paradis, heavily pregnant covered in gore, extemporising a spear from household items and stalking her assailant through a suburban home that has suddenly been plunged into the dark ages. Dark, literally, atavistic, in that survival for the next five minutes (a la Texas Chainsaw) is the only thing on anybody's mind . . . except for Dalle's. She just wants that baby.Movie Review: Mission Accomplished...
Summary: 5 Stars
INSIDE is the perfect movie for heartless psychopaths to see with their unsuspecting, pregnant girlfriends! Yes, this movie is all about the truly unthinkable actions taken by an insanely obsessed female of our species. The woman (Beatrice Dalle) is driven, determined, and absolutely relentless in her pursuit. Our impregnated heroine, Sarah (Alysson Paradis) is still devastated by the death of her husband 4 months earlier. She must snap out of her personal depression and go into full survival mode if she plans on protecting what is left of her family. INSIDE makes use of recent, all-to-real news stories about similar atrocities performed on the most vulnerable (I have read or heard of 2 such events). Imagine being a pregnant woman in her ninth month. Now, imagine some nut showing up at your home to take your baby. What would you do? INSIDE is a horror / thriller without limits. Do not expect a hollywood resolution! In the end, this story is about loss and two very different aspects of motherhood. Maternal drive, vengeance, and the will to protect / survive all combine for one nightmare of a tale! Highly recommended, but certainly not for everyone...Movie Review: Do you like stabbings?
Summary: 5 Stars
Lots and lots of stabbings? If you do, buy this movie because there's like twenty of them. Personally I love stabbings so I totally dug it. A movie from 2008 that's doesn't suck? I know it's hard to believe but it's actually true. In fact it's one of the only flick's made this decade (besides Grindhouse, Girl Next Door and some Japanese stuff) that I really liked. This movie should have definitely had a theatrical release considering some of the other movies that are deceptively passing themselves off as horror films these days. It's got a well written little story (not without flaws, more later), the acting is very good, and it's got so much blood you'll be seeing red for three days. My only minor gripes would be that in the last third of the flick some of the stuff gets a little hard to believe. I could have done without the little bits of CGI (I don't think it really added anything to the movie), and I would have liked a little more depth in the story department. But those minor flaws are completey doused and blood and stabbed repeatedly. This movie should totally be called "Stabbings". Viva la France!!!
