Uncharacteristic Thriller
There are thrillers and there are THRILLERS. Inside is a movie that follows a woman who is late in her pregnancy dealing with plenty of issues. A gruesome introductory scene that involves a car wreck is pretty shocking, but it’s a setup for the entire movie. We zoom in to present day to discover her husband and other people in the car wreck died. She was the only survivor and that she was pregnant. A series of strange events happen afterward, but not in the supernatural way. The lead’s pregnancy is a huge point in the movie, however.
This movie takes on an eerie feeling much like Haute Tension (High Tension in English), but it doesn’t quite have the strange twist at the end. What Inside provides audiences is a a topsy turvy reaction to the character. There’s nothing supernatural about it–or does it? The direction of this aspect of the film is incredible. There are no jump out of your seat moments, nor are there overly abundant gory scenes for the sake of being gory. It’s a smart thriller and believe it or not, there’s not a lot of dialog in it which can often water down the plot.
Toward the end of the movie you don’t know what you want to think. If there was ever a movie without a loophole, this one’s it. These aspects combined with the intricate direction and storytelling makes this a fantastic movie. It’s worth reviewing. Caution: the movie is in French with English subtitles. There was no dubbing option on the DVD.

Hi, Kenneth,
It is that one. I should’ve put the title in French. Sorry about that.
