| Béatrice Dalle sticks it in. |
At a glance:
Inside (2007) or its native French
À l'Intérieur is definitely not for the faint-hearted, especially those expectin a baby. It's like an all-out mother of all horrors, designed to resuscitate the numbest, most jaded fans of the genre who had resorted to watchin the
Twilight movies in their boredom. Without givin anythin away, it's a movie about a mysterious intruder (Béatrice Dalle,
pic) who terrorises an expectant mum (Alysson Paradis) in her home, with some pretty graphic violence thrown in for good measure.
Bad news on the doorstep:

While the traditional FX are surprisingly top-notch (the blood oozes off from the screen with gratuitous confidence), I do feel it did go overboard towards the end, where it started to get a bit silly and comical. I'm not sure it's a rewardin watch either. I just know it's a horror movie that is shot with the express intention to make you squirm. I even believe they went through 50 different pairs of scissors just to decide on the instrument that will project the most fear by sheer sight.
Perennial wonderment:
What is the best formula to make blood for shootin movies? How come some movies have horribly laughable diluted
sirap while other similarly budgeted movies have better stuff?

Reminds me of:
That other movie with Béatrice Dalle,
Trouble Every Day (2001). I can't remember a damned thing about it now except that pervo Vincent Gallo is in it too. I also recall
Darah (2009), that Indonesian bloodbath where the set is perpetually soaked in blood, pretty much like
Inside.
Amacam joker, berapa bintang lu mau kasi?
Well, it did make me anticipate the next sick scene just as soon as one is over.
