    Just shy of maximum score because so much of it was so dark. Having said that I'm not sure I really wanted to see even more than I did of what was going on in this gruesome, gory French horror. A real achievement, particularly as a first film, this pulls no punches whatsoever and...( read more) surely sends a clear signal to US film makers who seek to produce such fare. Don't mess about - just do it. But isn't this just the most harrowing and bloody, violent film ever? Well, maybe not ever, but that remains believable and involving from beginning to end. Where you want to look away but the action is so compelling you cannot. When you hope maybe there will be a pause in the nastiness but the makers just crank up the awfulness again and again. I have never seen a female attacker be so violent or so relentless outside of Japanese cinema. A remarkable achievement.

    I guess there's some sort of race in France to see who can make the dumbest horror/gore movie. Aja started with Haute Tension, then it came other movies like Frontieres and Martyrs. I haven't seen those, but with this one and HT i think i have clear idea of the result of said rac...( read more)e. Everyone is winning. I do want to point that, among the web of stupidity that was thrown at my face, probably the truly most disturbing aspect was seeing the movie trying to have some sort of "social content" by refering the urban riots of Paris from couple of years ago. Because the first thing that comes to your mind after watching a bunch of people getting killed in the most idiotic ways possible is "gee, there sure is a lot of racial tension in France, rite? Human beings should be more tolerant to each other. THE MOAR U KNOW!"

    It's a bit funny to see how the slasher genre hasn't really changed at all, not one bit. Every other genre and sub-genre out there has changed in one way or another, not this one. We are still seeing the same story and same mechanics over and over: unstoppable killers with superhuman strength and reflexes, lead characters doing the exact opposite of what any human being would do in a similar situation. Then the rest of the package: the killer is always behind the victim, always teleporting from one point to another, corpses can revive under the right circumstances, conveniently placed weapons and other assorted items are always right at hand. The list goes on and on. Is like watching a video of someone on their morning routine, just with less fx make up and fake blood, but equally tedious and predictable. The way these movies set themselves "apart" from each other is in how creative (read: absurd) the deaths can be. The silliest the better, you are not suppose to "suspend your belief" anymore, you have to shut down all the parts of your brain that are telling you how stupid all this is in order to "enjoy" these kind of movies.

    The way to rate this material, i'm guessing, is to notice how inventive the killings were, and how well shot said killings were. But it comes to a point where the real questions you should be asking is, why? Why keep making movies like this? Dumb, silly, cliche and absurd, all of that in the worse sense posible. Movies cost money, why not use that money to tell something else? Something better, something that might actually make sense in a proper context, and maybe even accomplish something beyond a mere "ewwww!" I'm all for movies creating an effect on the viewer, but even at that there are different kind of reactions. If you want to get disgusted you don't have to pay a movie ticket and spend money on junk food and parking, you can just go behind a dumpster and stare at the garbage decompose.

    Some of you might still be curious to see this. Don't, if you want to see red fluids dropping by galons just buy a bunch of ketchup bottles and smash them into a wall. There you go, lots of goey red stuff. You will save yourself time and brain cells in the process. You're not going to find a "plot", characters that might even have a single dimension or layer or anything that you find in a movie not concerned that much with the make up. Sure, maybe the movie wasn't looking for that, and if you're a "gore hound" you're not looking for that either. But what's the point of seeing the lead character in danger when i don't give a damn about her? Or about any of the other characters? Or about what's going on at all? It's just an excuse for the directors to show us how good they are at shooting in the dark, how "edgy" they can be with the material. We get it. Now please, go back to make music videos, commercials or whatever you were doing before this. Also, those shots of the babies in the uterus were fucking stupid.

    Ever since Alexandre Aja's abysmal High Tension, there has been a kind of revolution in French horror cinema, namely, films that present so much extreme violence and gore that they make Saw look like a Disney film. Inside is just about one of the most unpleasant, disturbing, bru...( read more)tal, and unrelentingly disgusting movie experiences I've ever had. This is not a compliment.
    I am a seasoned horror fan. I love horror. I love slasher movies. But I have one exception. I hate any movie, horror or not, that serves to exploit violence and gore for no other purpose than shock value or to showcase the skill of its directors in depicting realistic carnage.
    I've heard the fillmmakers talk about this film, and I've read many reviews of this movie that talk about it being a battle of wills, a deviant love story between a mother and her child. Wrong. The film has a one-track mind, which is pretty much the kind of intelligence that went into making this movie, and all that you need to watch this crap. Inside is an hour and 23 minutes of pointless violence.
    The directors don't want a happy ending, so they manipulate every situation so that it will turn out bad for the pregnant lady. This is sickening. There is a scene where the cops enter the house, realize that the woman answering the door is the killer, and proceed to arrest her. Instead of properly arresting her, one goes upstairs, leaving the other to do all the work for himself. This second cop seems to have no idea how to arrest a woman, because he tries to do it while she's standing up, giving her the leverage. Umm, no, I don't buy that. Another scene shows a cop more concerned with fixing circuit breakers than getting the pregnant lady out of the house. And I guess these guys have never heard of calling for backup? Finally, when the pregnant lady has the advantage and the killing strike, a cop who's been shot through the head and dead through this whole time comes back to life and beats her into labour. Can you say, what the fuck?
    There are great horror movies out there that are extreme in their violence. Think Audition, The Last House on the Left or even the recent French film Martyrs. They use violence to provoke thought and address issues of morality. Inside aims to do none of that. And it isn't thrilling. There are too many moments where this story would have ended, but it doesn't because the story doesn't want it to. And don't give me the it's a movie, it doesn't have to make sense line because how many times have you complained about the realism of a movie.
    After watching Inside, I had to clear my head with something that stimulated thought with interesting, fully dimensional characters, and a properly structured plot. I watched two episodes of Six Feet Under. Now that is good filmmaking.

    perhaps personally i do possess a prejudice against shock-cinema which is to offend the tolerance of your senses continuously, and what's exactly the point to stir up your worst imaginations on various nightmares? do you need such perverse stimulus because you're too callously ja...( read more)ded? maybe it's the contradiction of human nature that you cannot resist the curiosity of the strange and the bizarre, and there's a voice inside you that drives into a peep at the deviant. but you bounce back just like your reaction against the over-heated stove. the procedure is nothing enjoyable but catalysis of vomit.

    the story is about a woman's diabolical obssession of motherhood, so she haunts over an ill-fated pregnant woman by tracking into her house then brutally breaking into her room with a pair of scissors in attempt to cut the baby out to keep as her own. so the deeply endangered mother-to-be hides in the bathroom to defend herself...then the psychopathic wench shrewdly utilizes her fatal pair of scissors to slaughter any possible interference which includes the pregnant woman's parents...any potential cruel killing method is contained within this film such as stabbing a man's genital grudgingly...it's an extreme dosage of mental disturbance..surely there's no peaceful ending: the wench's got to sing her lullaby with the infant she freshly cut from a woman's belly while herself is deformed by a gas sprayer as she previously tries to light off a cigarette. in a nutshell, "inside" is a story of pure evil and absolute malice.

    the massacre is deviced with every bit of "creavity" you could imagine as if the director remarks "let's think of every worst way of torturing someone in the most disgusting ways which would make you puke"...i've got to admit the french ways of killings are more "innovative " and scarier than american michael bay's recent "chainsaw texas massacre",,,i have no problem with cinematic violence as long as it's upon the dark side of humanity. yes, you might say such terrible massacre do happen in this world since serial killers do exist. but how about their minds? any profound motivation or character sketch?? yes, it has but very limited and meager. so the victim is a survivor of car accident and the killer is made barren also by a car accident..anything more?? it doesn't have any spare time for dialogues except fanatic continuous killings. very often it does sicken me to think of the raising popularity of shock cinema, whether it's french or american ones like saws or chain texas, audience doesn't have a heart anymore to probe the depths of characters but request of intense amount of irritant to defy your adrenaline. you wanna challenge your adrenalin, go parachute-diving which might teach you something of REAL SURVIVAL.

    THIS film is impossible to forget. It's one of the goriest films I have ever seen, and one of the most horrifying. If you want to see a truly deeply sick, fucked up, shocking, gorefest of a horror film, this is the one to see! Also it's only 80 minutes long, so it's short, sweet,...( read more) and to the point. It'll make you scream, it'll make you cry, and it will make you cringe.
