Movie Reviews of Inside (Unrated)Movie Review: GORE, GORE and OH! Did I mention GORE? Summary: 4 StarsThis is possibly one of the sickest and goriest movies I have ever seen. I was literally nauseous through most of it. Have fun! It is definitely a thriller!
Movie Review: If You Can Stand the Gore, A Truely Great Horror Film Summary: 5 StarsI just watched this film recently and, as a well-seasoned horror fan, I think that this film must go on my list of the best horror films that I have ever seen. It is a truely powerful film, but it may not be for you if you are squemish about realistic gore. There's plently of it in this film. The filmmakers have sucessfully combined prosthetics and CGI to produce some of the most realistic gore that I have ever seen.
I don't want to reveal too much. To put it simply, this film is the struggle of a pregnant mother on the night (Christmas Eve) before she is about to give birth and a woman that will do anything, and I do mean anything, to take the child for herself and she is not going to wait for the baby to be born in any natural or regular fashion. Anyone who trys to stop this woman faces the wrath of someone for whom there is no compromise or reasoning. The reason why the woman wants this specific child so badly is revealed in a surprising and enlightening twist at the end of the film. I'll say no more about the plot.
The blood flows thick in this film, literally, and it is unfortunate that this may turn some people away because the two lead actresses, Beatrice Dalle and Alysson Paradis, both turn in excellent, powerful performances. I don't know too much about French films or actors, but apparently these two actresses are seasoned, well-known actresses and the fact that they both agreed to appear in such an extreme horror film speaks volumes for the quality of the screenplay and that quality is well realized in the film itself.
I've seen many gory horror films, and perhaps I am somewhat jaded about gore, but, to me, this film is one of the few I have seen with a large quantity of gore where I felt that the gore was not, to some extent or in some instances, more extreme than necessary. The gore in the film is exactly what is necessary to convey the extremity, the instensity, and the absolute horror of the situation. I congratulate the filmmakers on achieving this balance and on creating such a fine film.
I really regret that the gore in this film may turn some away because, in a time that produces far too many films not worth watching, this is one film definitely worth seeing. Even if you are squemish about gore, consider watching this film anyway if you like powerful stories, excellent performances, and just-plain-good filmmaking. You can always close your eyes during the bloody bits.
Movie Review: Bloody, gory and gruesome and good... Summary: 4 StarsThis 2007 French horror film, is surprisingly good. It has all the gore, but well done and with a good story line.
Briefly, a pregnant photojournalist, Sarah, was involved in a horrible car accident that killed her husband. Four months later she is ready to deliver the child on Christmas Eve. Sarah wants to spend the final night by herself. A knock comes on the door and our "gap-toothed" villan appears in the shadows and mutters something about losing her daughter and seems to know a lot about Sarah. Sarah is frightened and calls the police. The police find no one outside and promise to send another patrol later that night. Our villan reappears and gains entry into Sarah's house. That's where the gore begins...
I loved the use of sissors and knitting needles as a murder weapon for a female villan. The gore was unbelieveable!
I also liked the camera make that Sarah used for her profession---a Canon EOS! That's my brand and what I've been shooting with for a few years. What bothered me about it was Sarah's was a film camera and this is a 2007 movie. Digital cameras were out for a while and photojournalists were among the first to have them. So to me it was unrealistic that she had an older camera. When she needed to enhance the photo of the "gap-toothed" villan, it could have been done easily with an up-to-date camera.
The other thing that bothered me was the "zombie-like" scene towards the end---what was that about?
All in all this was a good gore fest and one to start off October with.
Movie Review: Undone By Excess Carnage Summary: 2 StarsBeatrice Dalle really delivers here, and the premise is rather unique - too bad it's all undercut by FAR too much gore. A shame, because at first it feels like a French giallo, which would be very interesting indeed. If there was a more understated version of this it might achieve cult status; as it is, it's just a test of your endurance (or your stomach).
Movie Review: A Bloody Massacre on Christmas Eve!!! Summary: 4 StarsThere was a lot of awesome gory scenes. Even though it was supposed to take place on Christmas Eve, it didn't seem like it. After losing her husband, a pregnant woman stays at home on Christmas Eve, and later, another woman shows up. She wants her baby. Throughout the night, she kills anyone who gets in her way of getting the baby at all costs. They could have added more Christmas lights. I was a little disappointed by the ending. If you like horror and gore, you'll love INSIDE!!!
