INSIDE
I have never been pregnant. I do not want children but if I did, this film may have changed my mind.
Inside is a French horror film released in 2007. The film begins with a car accident between two cars. You only see the occupants of one car; a pregnant woman named Sarah and her husband. Fast forward four months and you learn the Sarah’s husband was killed in the accident and she will give birth the next day. Later that evening, a strange woman shows up at Sarah’s with an evil plan to carve Sarah’s unborn child out of her and keep it for herself. Who is this woman? Why does she want the baby? A fight between Sarah and the stranger ensues and by morning everyone one and everything in the house will be drenched in blood.
This was possibly the most violent film I have ever watched. There is plenty of brutal murder (usually committed with a pair of large sharp scissors). Both women sustain multiple injuries that I would not think it possible to survive, particularly a pregnant woman. There is a scene in the film where it is made clear Sarah’s water has broken. How she kept up her end of the fight without passing out or giving birth is beyond me.What do I know, I’ve never given birth!
What I’m getting at is the film isn’t realistic. It is totally over the top. However, I am okay with that. I really enjoyed this film. I’d liken it to being on the downhill part of a rollercoaster ride for an hour straight. If you love blood and gore as much as the French do and aren’t squeamish — watch this. It was worth every cent of the $2.99 I paid. There was no nudity and no humor. It was just disgusting and depressing and I loved it!
