Fuck!!!!! Kinda like a remake of Home Alone but instead of Macaulay Culkin you have a pregnant chick and instead of Chris Columbus it's directed by Satan.
Review by BRAT ★★★½ 11

watched on a website called “effedupmovies.com” :(
and yes, i would concur that the movie is effed up. most effed up part was how whenever mommy was in danger it would cut to her in utero cgi baby — pack it up, RENESMEE!!! haha. but yeah it would be effed up if any of this happened to me :(
Review by CinemaClown ★★★★ 13

A genuinely effective & relentlessly violent feature to come out from the new wave of French horror and certainly ranking amongst the most disturbing & bloodiest films ever made, Inside is a prime example of extreme cinema which marks the return of pure unadulterated horror on the silver screen & manages to accomplish all the things it promises without entirely discarding the core elements that makes a film work.
Opening with a brief prologue covering a car accident, the story of Inside concerns a young pregnant lady named Sarah; the sole survivor of the car crash which killed her husband. Deciding to stay at home on Christmas Eve, things are set in motion for an eventful night of torment & terror when a mysterious…

Don't have sex because you will get pregnant and DIE!!!!!!!!!
Review by Naughty aka Juli Norwood ★★★★★ 7

I dunno if this was a movie or the recipe for blood sausage!
We've seen it in the headlines! Woman kills a pregnant woman and steals the unborn baby! This film brings such a scenario to life and it is a truly traumatizing experience!
Extreme cinema at it finest! Relentless! Brutally Graphic! A film that shows no mercy to the mom-to-be nor its audience! An unflinching depiction of unimaginable horror that is so shocking I strongly recommend that pregnant women avoid this like the plague! I thank my lucky stars this wasn't around when I was pregnant, at that time I was however a bit freaked out by the film It's Alive!
The ferocity of the life and death struggle…
Review by JackBurton1234 ★★★★½ 15

Wow.
Just wow.
I wasn’t planning to watch a film today but I saw how short this was and knowing how notorious it was decided to check it out.
And it definitely lived up to the hype.
This is one of the bloodiest films I’ve seen in a while.
By the end of the film the entire house is just covered in blood.
This film is merciless. It doesn’t hold back on anything.
My only flaw is the first act is a little to slow but as soon as Sarah gets to the house everything speeds up.
The kills in this film are brutal.
Like those final few scenes are just brutal.
And that final shot is haunting.
The plot…
Review by DirkH ★★½ 7

The first 45 minutes or so of Inside border on horror perfection. Without delving too deep into a backstory, we are presented with a simple yet extremely horrific premise. Had they managed to maintain that level this could perhaps have been one of the best genre films ever, but unfortunately I was left staring at the ugly afterbirth of a third act making everything that went before it a distant memory.
The opening is tense and very disconcerting. We're not given much in the way of character development, but who cares. There's a pregnant woman and an insane Beatrice Dalle trying to get to the baby she's carrying. That's an automatic investment right there. I was totally gripped by the…
Review by Siegel™ ★★★ 2

Relentlessly hopeless more than frightening, more gross-out gore than genuine thrills. There's an overall feeling of desperation rather than terror, frustration more than fear. Filled with bursts of bloody insanity but other than what the violence might make it seem, Inside seems to be trying to say something more than your average genre slasher; I just wish it was a little more clear on what that something could possibly be. I highly recommend just for the sheer level of INSANE this is willing to go.
for fans of serious gore
Review by Hollie Horror ★★ 6

It was a Christmas Miracle when I re-watched Silent Night, Deadly Night recently and loved it, but the reverse just happened with Inside.
Maybe this is a sign I'm getting old & jaded, but I appreciate excessive gore a lot more when it's used as a prop, not a plot.
Also, I don't know how many times you've tried to cut the baby out of a living woman, but I don't think it's wise to show up in a long flowing dress, corset, high heels and no supplies, just my shitty old woman opinion, tho.

Stabbing is not good for the baby.
This is fantastic. A pregnant woman is all alone after her husband has died in a car crash. One night a woman shows up to her house demanding to get in and claiming to want her baby... what the fuck is going on and how will she survive? This is a good pregnancy horror as well as a good home invasion horror as well as a good mystery thriller. The performances are great, the suspense is real and the action is intense. I love how contained the story is and the frenetic pace makes the film fly by. Definite recommend.

Review by Thomas Browne ★★★½

The fact that my entire body has been contorted in suspense and my hands holding my head for the past 45mins, should speak volumes to how impressively tense this film is. Definitely a deserving addition to the New French Extremity wave. Pretty brutal throughout. Definintely the most brutal home-invasion film I've seen. The gore department had full budget and creative integrity for sure. Docking half a star for the CGI fetus - really didn't need that and felt it took away from the horror and the impact of the final scene. Fucking brutal man... wow. That was pretty brutal hahahaha...

god absolutely fantastic and brutal!!!!!!!! one of the only times I've ever seen a home invasion movie that was actually affecting to me both emotionally and just....viscerally. so upsetting so engaging i loved it
Review by SurrealTiggi ★★★

That was tough to watch.
While I don’t disagree with Inside’s reputation as a must-watch for horror fans, it’s definitely not for everyone.
It’s a vicious, unnerving and gruesome portrayal of home invasion, but some scenes, are simply unnecessary.

Review by ASCIIHeart ★★★★★

I love this so much. There's just such a mix of Biblical posing, amazingly visceral gore, and the sleek, taught, stoic yet manic performance of Beatrice Dalle, skulking around like some magnificent supernatural entity. Beautiful, exquisite, breathtakingly brutal, emotionally raw, this is everything I wish slashers were.
Review by FishNuts77 ★★★

Its a decent horror flick. Honestly the gore and kills were pretty good so I give it 3/5 👍.
Review by Gray Underwood ★★★★

It’s arguable whether Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury’s viciously caustic Inside or Pascal Laugier’s Martyrs (2008) should rightfully be considered the defining statement of the French Extreme movement. Personally, while I consider Martyrs to be a stronger piece as a whole, it’s hard to deny Inside’s deeply disconcerting sense of atmosphere and relentless terror.
Beginning by evoking shades of Bob Clark’s Black Christmas (1974), Inside sees pregnant widow Sarah (Alysson Paradis) spending Christmas Eve alone, the night before she’s scheduled to give birth. Under a seemingly random series of circumstances, she finds herself visited by a deranged woman (a flesh-crawling performance by Béatrice Dalle, also of Claire Denis’ Trouble Every Day [2001]) who, armed with a pair of scissors, wants Sarah’s…
Review by Steve Quick ★★½

Extreme violence and gore, with just enough plot to hold together. It starts as an interesting variation of "trapped with a killer" and I was along for the ride until the last 10 minutes, when it goes way over the top (which would be fine) and implausibility heaped on impossibility (still okay) AND the practical effects which had been really good become shoddy. I rolled my eyes, I groaned, I almost laughed.
