Inside (2006)

Simply A Masterpiece

A Masterpiece!

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

its hard to discuss this at all without immediately getting into spoiler alert. this thing reminds me of many m night shamalan films where the it gets off to such a good start, then the 'twist' lets all the air out of the balloonthis one is that way. first half is very good. keeps you interested and has your mind wandering about many possible story outcomes. then it takes a turn down a path that only has one logical conclusion, based on the prior evidencebut guess what? it doesn't go there in the end! the way it ends unravels much of the prior story. if *this is it, then none of it fits together without some utterly astronomical coincidencesoff to a good start, then falls flat with the incredulous ending

From the storyline and direction. Kudos. The suspense and mystery was definitely there. I found myself screaming at the television a few times wondering whats to happen next or guessing the finale. I was expecting so many different outcomes and totally didn't expect the ending along with the message on grieving and coping with lost ones. I enjoy a good eerie movie and each character had a unusual presence which kept you wondering who's the crazy one here. Cheryl White (Alice Smith) was awesome. She nailed her role visually and in performance. But overall with a few locations, a small cast, and a small budget. Quite impressive and well thought out, I can't wait to see more of the director's work! A must see if you are into original Suspense/Thriller flicks.

I stumbled across this film at a video store, and decided to watch it. I absolutely adored it, flaws and all.The film is not really for someone looking for a gory slasher movie; it's more a psychological drama/thriller about three emotionally damaged people who never quite dealt with issues that they needed to deal with. I thought the actors in this film were absolutely riveting, especially Nick D'Agosto and Cheryl White.It's a slow-moving film; which adds to the palpable tension all throughout, and I like that it keeps you guessing while feeling firmly grounded in reality. The characters were deep and three-dimensional, and it was fascinating to watch their psychological neuroses unfold on screen to what I believed was a satisfying climax.

i thought this movie was pretty good. i saw it a while back at a film festival, and that may have helped my overall impression. the audience was with it the whole way. *_*_*_ SPOILER _*_*_*-*_* Once the first big twist happens (an off-screen accident that was kind of cheesy, but still worked) , i felt like the movie was deflated a little bit. still, good first time effort. i'm not sure what the director has in store for us next, but i'll bet it will be a marked improvement. he does have a way of getting under your skin which is definitely a gift. i think this type of challenging material probably requires actors who are very experienced and comfortable in front of the camera. some of the actors here...to put it mildly would not qualify. if Mahler gets a chance to work with a bigger budget, i'm sure he'll be able to get actors who qualify.
