Hailed by several critics as the first great French horror film this millennium, Inside opens on a gory note and stays true to the bloodfest throughout. But rather than using splatter-gore for comedic effect, as did young directing team Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo's predecessor, Hershell Gordon-Lewis, this duo timed their gore to build tragic suspense, scene after disgusting scene. The strength of Inside's plot is its simplicity, though the film is slow at first. Pregnant photojournalist, Sarah Scaragato (Alysson Paradis), has just lost her husband in a fatal car accident and is in recovery when her baby is due on Christmas Eve, in fact. Morose, she rejects friend and family visits, opting to stay home. A bewitched predator, played by Beatrice Dalle, senses Sarah's vulnerability and seizes upon it like a spider capturing prey in its web. The tale, woven around maternal psychosis, reveals Dalle's haunting preoccupation with stealing Scaragato's unborn baby. Each character who enters Sarah's house, the "war zone" as one doomed policeman puts it, encounters the wrath of two women fighting with mirror shards, knitting needles, scissors, hurled kitchen appliances, and even a homemade bayonette. Like the best horror thrillers about motherhood---Rosemary's Baby, Don't Look Now, Alien---Inside seizes ample symbolic opportunities to exhibit the primal obsession women have with babies. Even better, Inside invites feminist critique as do other female-centric horror films such as Ginger Snaps, whose plots not only include strong, vengeful female victims, but also sympathetic, criminal femme fatales. An entertaining "Making of Inside" featurette follows, revealing makeup and special effects techniques. Inside is for a specific audience; as scenes get redder and wetter, the squeamish may find it sickening---beware and enjoy. ?Trinie Dalton

I'm pretty good at handling horror movies, but with something like this, I was not ready at all. The very idea of someone trying to cut your baby out of your stomach is almost too much for me to think about. Now I don't know about you, but when I put this movie into my dvd player, I didn't think I was going to freak out. The plot was amazing and whenever the protagonist was hit in the stomach I jumped back. I personally don't get scared by guys like freddy or jason because I know they are not real. However, if its a real person that can do real harm, then I get scared.

I normally don't care to do reviews for movies, but I felt I needed to for this film. The overall plot is excuted well, with little room for wasted moments. Fair warning, this film is extremely gory, so not for the squeemish at all. Again these are just little things that take you out of the movie for a moment, but don't diminish the overall effect of the film. First off, I really wanted to give the film 5 stars, but 5 stars is a masterpiece, and while this film is very very close, a couple of stupid plot points keep it just shy from getting there. Both actresses are phenomenal, and you as you watch you can't help identify with each of them at one time or another as they are both suffering from tremendous loss, which is an amazing feat considering the brutality being executed on screen. That bathroom lock is just the best on the market, even if the door itself doesn't seem to be more than paper thin. And sometimes, that soft spot on your skull just never seems to go away, especially if it is in the front.
My only complaints are those annoying little things that hold this back from being a masterpiece. I must say I enjoy watching a movie that actually lives up to its reputation. I'm looking forward to the Hellraiser remake now. The french know how to make intelligent, engaging, blood drenched,and original horror films. Most things I can explain away myself, i.e., the cops stupidity is probably due to the exhaustion they are experienceing from combating the ongoing riots.

This one is ghastly indeed.As one reviewer states{Have you ever heard of adoption lady).This is something a normal person would do,right.There is the issue of the ladies revenge,giving them the reason to make this twisted sick masterpiece of horror. Made me want to look away in the one scene(You know the one)but still,I just had to take it in.If you want horror that disturbs and entertains.Then Inside surely will deliver. The emotions run high.The acting was really great. DVD has both orginal french language and english audio dubbed feature along with english subtitles.

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. It more than lived up to the hype. 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. 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. 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). "Inside" is a truly great horror film. The basic story is that one woman is pregnant, and another woman wants the baby.by any means necessary. That's it.
The suspense is top notch, the acting is fantastic, and the gore effects are disturbingly realistic. WOW. As someone who isn't too keen on reading subtitles, I hesitated in watching "Inside" for that reason as well. 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. No need to worry about too much CGI in this flick. 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.
