Inside (2016)

As Good As It Gets

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

How in the world I even managed to see this through, I do not know. Quite possibly one of the worst films I have ever seen,mainly because it actually tried to be good..

One of my favorite extreme french horror films was the original film this movie was based on, Inside (2007). Browsing through Hulu the night before I spotted this American remake. My expectations were low based on prior experience with many American horror remakes, but this particular remake sunk far lower than my already low expectations.The story isn't an exact copy of the original. They did make changes and the biggest changes were in the last third of the film. Unbelievable beyond belief and the producers having seen the original which should have given them an excellent template to base their remake seem to totally ignore it.Before the opening scene and immediately after the opening credits, a statistic is shown on the screen literally giving away the twist in the plot that the original film doesn't unveil until the very end. By doing that, they literally killed any chance of developing a sense of suspense and surprise that the original was so great at doing. In the original film, the audience doesn't understand why the killer is doing what she does until the very end, but this film constantly reminds us of what the plot is as though the audience has a 30 second attention deficit. I would NOT recommend this film to a friend at all. Anyone who has not seen the original, I highly recommend you watch the original film, even if you do not like subtitles. If you see this film first and uncover the twist, it will ruin the original for you and you will miss out on a highly rated french extreme horror original.

Acting terrible. Cinematography may have been. I'm getting really sick and tired of idiots who can't be bothered to turn a gd light on at night... The woman who was having the baby was stupid from start to end. From her first weapon of choice, a broken mirror shard, which she should have wrapped in a towel or face cloth, to when she was using the back of the toilet... the woman put her arm through the door, best option she chose was to give her a small slice, rather than shatter her arm with the toilet back. Made no sense at all. Cops show up. The lady stabs one IN THE DOORWAY WITH the door open.. his partner is too stupid to be watching, despite him seeming real cagey about something 2 seconds prior. The whole movie was just dumb. I can't imagine anyone who didn't work for it would actually rate it higher than a 2. It was that bad.

This American remake of the French classic horror thriller "Inside (2007) À l'intérieur (original title)" surprised me all to hell. It's been almost ten years since I saw the original, but I remember enough that this remake pretty much stands on its own, imo, as a very good remake. It has enough differences, especially the ending, that made me really enjoy it on its own. If you haven't seen the French original, then shame on you. The main plot, is a woman is close to giving birth to her baby, and this insane woman attacker wants that baby, no matter what. It is extremely violent, and even a bit disturbing, but very well done, and worth your viewership whether you saw the original or not. I do not understand why this movie has been getting lower ratings and less than excellent reviews, except some people hate remakes whether they are well done or not. The hell with them, I loved it.
