#3. Inside | 2007 | France
Rated R for strong bloody violence, gruesome and disturbing content, and language
Four months before Christmas, Sarah and Matthieu Scarangelo were in a car crash, of which Sarah and her unborn baby were the only survivors. On Christmas Eve, Sarah stays home alone, where she grieves her husband and prepares to go to the hospital the next morning for the delivery.
As night falls, a woman knocks on Sarah’s door asking to use the phone. When she refuses, the woman reveals that she knows Sarah and tries to force her way in. Sarah calls the police; they inspect the home and determine the woman has left, but promise to keep watch over Sarah through the night. The woman returns and tries to take Sarah’s unborn child, but Sarah locks herself in the bathroom. The strange woman torments Sarah through the night and kills all who try help her.
Number three was a toss-up for me between Inside and Martyrs, but I chose to go with Inside obviously. Another film I have previously covered, Inside is one of those movies that gets under your skin and just finds a way to unnerve and disturb you. Hell, you’ve got one woman trying to cut the baby out of another’s womb before it is even born. How messed up do you really think this movie is going to be?
Well, take your best guess and multiply it by like a hundred. Like Audition, I highly recommend this film, but that said it is a hard watch. It’s part of the French Extreme movement in horror that included films like Martyrs and High Tension so you know this movie is gonna be twisted. I love it and hate it at the same time.
