One of the most amazing things about Inside is that you can buy it at WalMart. Consider it: Not that long ago it was kind of hard to see Unrated videos. I'm talking about when Blockfucker Video was putting the clamps to the entire home video market, with their bullshit family-friendly policies. Thank God they are hurting now.
You can say what you want about WalMart, and there is plenty of bad things to say about them. But they are responsible for a lot of DVD sales. And they are funny in that they like to make money. And serious, knowledgeable horror fans like you and me are going to get our Unrated editions. Either at WalMart or Amazon or Best Buy or maybe one of the smaller retailers. We are going to get them. And if we can do so at a lower price? Then we all go home a winner.
This...THIS! This is the kind of movie we dreamed of back when we were watching as many of the slasher films as we could in the 80's. Not Scream. Not Hostel. Certainly not Hatchet. INSIDE. Me and my old best friend saw just about every slasher film that came to the local theaters. We liked most of them just fine, but we weren't stupid. We knew that most of them really weren't all that great. And we talked of the day when slasher/gore movies would be made with big budgets and better performers. Oh it happened, yeah, but for the most part the recycled slasher formula done up by the major studios have been watered down and neutered.
And along comes Inside. This movie is astonishing. Brutal. Shocking. Relentless. Excruciating. Terrifying. The plot is fairly simple: A pregnant woman loses her husband in a car crash and is an embittered survivor. On the night before her labor is to be induced, she is visited by a psychotic woman that is determined to own the baby inside her. She isn't alone in her struggle, but her would-be rescuers are all dispatched in increasingly horrifying ways.
Inside has got to be seen to be believed. It's an assault on one's senses and the film becomes an endurance test as to how much abuse your eyes can take. I'm almost glad that I didn't see it in a theater, because I felt the need to hit the Pause button numerous times. To catch my breath and to try to process the brutality that I had just witnessed.
There is a wave of seriously disturbing horror movies coming out of France right now. Them, Frontier(s), and Inside are making big splashes in the horror field. Remember the riots in France a few years ago? Two teens were electrocuted during an alleged police chase. This event triggered protests, fires and violence from lower income youths and a national state of emergency had to be declared. I wonder how much influence these events had on the current horror movies coming from France? Remember The American Nightmare? It was a documentary that explored the link between American civil unrest in the 1960's to brutal horror classics like Night of the Living Dead, Last House on the Left and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
In the meantime, horror lovers are going to be blown away by Inside. This one lives up to its hype. Don't miss it.
