2007

Gotta hand it to the Frogs, they've finally gotten offa their asses and started putting some points up on the horror board.

Here's
the deal;  After survivng a wreck that killed her husband, a very
pregnant Sarah winds up having to deal with a mysterious cunt bent on
fucking her up but good.  Motherly mayhem ensues.

Two minutes (fuck not even
that) into this movie, you're looking at a dead baby.  That's
where it starts.  It gets worse from there.  I'd love to give
you more plot, but what's up there, man that covers it.  Sounds
pretty simple, and hell it is simple, but by the end of this
one, you're going to pray that you never see another pair of scissors
for the rest of your fucking life.  Trust me. 

The two
broads at the center of the story worked their asses off and made what
would've been a really basic movie a fucking home run.  The
directors didn't phone anything in either.  At a very short
seventy-eight minutes, they managed to turn the screws so hard that I
almost felt like I did the first time I saw Evil Dead 2 (which,
more or less, felt alot like the first time I got a hummer.  And
yeah, she was fat).  Also, if it were in my power to do, I'd send
the F/X team a round of blowjobs.  They missed on two accounts
that I saw, and that's it.  You'll have to watch it to see how
much shit is in there for that to make sense as a compliment, but it
is, man.  It so fucking is.

The other thing about this movie is the visual style they put
on the board.  I don't know what kind of crack the cinematographer
was on, but that shit should be made mandatory for all future film
endeavors.  In my favorite shot, they give a knod to Halloween,
and they make that shit work like a fucking John Deere.  As this
fucker unspools, the visuals just get better and better.

All
of that said, a word of caution; unless your girlfriend or wife has a
tattoo of Castro over her pussy, or piercings in her face or clit, best
to skip this one until you can watch it alone.  And no, I'm not
kidding.  Boys and girls, this one put me through the floor, and I'm a horror movie whore.  Thanks go out to Brendan for passing this one along.  I owe your ass now, motherfucker.

 Get it and love it.

Save yourselves,

'Nuff Sugar

Okay...

Mr. Norman, I added (Inside) to my Que and moved it to the top. Not a big gore fan though, even though I liked the Hostel flicks.

Just watched "Edmond" screenplay by Mamet. Have you seen this yet?

Watch it if you have not.  I have the trailer below, but don't watch it unless you have seen the movie, it gives too much away.

If you're not a big gore

If you're not a big gore fan, I don't know but you might want to skip over this one. I didn't have a problem with it, but I have a strong feeling that the squiemish will be quite appalled. It's no fucking Hostel either.

 

Fuck, even Bigsugar said he wasn't 100% comfortable with it and he's been watching these kind of movies longer than I have.

 I missed this one.  This is, the fuckin' studios seem to
think that keeping Mamet's movies a secret is the best thing to do with
them.  I didn't even know he was doing Redbelt until about two weeks before the fucker came out.

I
have to back up Brendan on this one.  You put this flick in front
of your wife and I can promise you a moratorium on pussy for at least a
few weeks, man.  I am so not kidding with you. it's rough as hell, man, and there's just no let up.

 

 

If it's just ridiculous, it's bad.

IF IT IS RRIIIDDDIICCUUULLOOUUSS, then it's okay.

horseshit for at least one week.

Crash meets The Hand That Rocks The Cradle meets Hostel

This movie was very good. 5 out of 5 stars. This movie knew what it was doing and never let you forget it.

Brendan, any more like this? I would have never rented this.

Almost struck me as crime drama/thriller.

I don't mind visceral or over the top violence when it is crucial to the story. In this case it worked.

Some of the most believable acting I have seen in a while. Beatrice Dalle did remarkable, so did Ms. Paradis. I love seeing crazy on screen. In this case, I liked the attacker's crazy better.

Sadly, women actually do this to other women in real life.

Very good blood and gore effects.

Kinda strange but I watched A Mighty Heart with Jolie right after this one, she plays a pregant woman in that. So, needless to say, some of the images transfered from one flick to the other. You know what I mean?

My only problem SPOILER:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is the attacking woman was way too good of a killer, she was like La Femme Nikita meets Tomb Raider, but I can move past that ;)

That woman is actually

That woman is pretty famous in France actually.

 

As for movies like this? Right now Inside is pretty much in it's own fucking league. The previous horror/gore movie out of France that got a lot of buzz was High Tension. It was really gorey, has Muse on the soundtrack, and the first time I viewed it I didn't like it because of the Fight Club style twist ending. But after a second viewing it grew a little on me. However, it is nowhere near as good as Inside. Nor as relentless and emotionally involved.

 

Another recent horror film out of France is Them.

 

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0465203/

 

Its a suspense film, not a gore flick. It was extremely well made and had great cinematography + the scares were great. Once again, the ending ruined the whole fucking movie. Great movie with a shitty ending I guess. I can't forgive this movie because what they did with the antagonists is just not fucking scarey.

 

Only recent horror movies I really like besides this one that I can name are The Descent, The Red Shoes (korean film), and [Rec] which isn't even out yet. But no, none of these are anything like Inside. But if extreme gore is all you're looking for, your best bet would be to rent Lucio Fulci's The Beyond.

It's true. I've read a couple of news articles in the past that have read exactly like this film's synopsis.

Here are some interesting

Here are some interesting tibits on the future works of the two directors of Inside (Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury).

 

Originally they were signed on to do a remake of Cliver Barker's Hellraiser but then suddenly walked from the project. Now they are in discussion with Dimension to do a follow up to Rob Zombie's Halloween remake.
