Inside (2016)

Too much of everything

Memorable, crazy movie

As Good As It Gets

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

After reading a few other reviews, I guess this movie is an American remake of a French film by the same name. I have never seen the original, but I'm sure it is far better then this garbage.I spent a majority of this movie literally yelling at the main character to just use her brain and pay attention. I get the whole "you don't always think straight when you're terrified" argument, but this was atrocious and almost unbearable. For example, after getting out of the car crash (making this her 567th unsuccessful attempt at escaping), she decides to seek help from a house that is clearly under construction in the middle of a dark, rainy night where there will obviously be no people. And instead of leaving and trying another home, she , of course, decides to go exploring. While the killer in still after her and clearly not dead. And she's in labor. While she's dealing with being knocked in the head, haven fallen on her back/side, having fallen just straight up on her stomach, and other injuries/stressors. All while pregnant. However, I decided to stick with it to see how this show was going to end and wow. It's not like the ending was a surprise since they spoiled it in the VERY BEGINNING OF THE MOVIE. All I can say about this movie is that it is idiotic, nonsensical garbage. I beg you not to waste your time on it.

A young pregnant mother loses her husband in a car crash but she survives. Eight or so months later she is in the final stage of pregnancy and has a quiet night in awaiting the visit of her mother. But someone wants her unborn baby. This home invasion thriller, for its story alone, should have given us considerable tension but instead it is largely devoid of tension. We have a succession of chases around houses where people get cut up, shot and maimed but it never provides the chills and neither actor seems compelling for all their hard work.

This is one of, if not the most, awful remake I've ever seen. Do not waste your time.

I didn't want to compare this film to the French version; it's not fair, as the original film is a horror masterpiece and one of the most difficult to watch movies of all time. This remake, however, is so horribly done, so pointless, that it does not deserve any leniency. This movie should be butchered for how offensive it is to the original. the movie is so bad, in fact, that I will break down the way it fails using a list. It's all it deserves.1. The original film is a classic due to its no holds barred violence. This film is the Lifetime Television version. It is made to appease sensitive people who can't stomach anything to serious. It is insulting to the original audience.2. The acting is atrocious. Everyone from the lead actress to the woman who wanted her baby delivered their lines as if it was their first movie. Actually, every single female in this movie was untalented. It made the movie a cringe fest every time one of them spoke. Just awful.3. The movie is neutered in the ways only Hollywood knows how to neuter a movie. I understand that most people refuse to watch subtitled films because it makes them feel somewhat stupid to not be able to properly keep up with the text on the screen, but it is no excuse to butcher an otherwise amazing cinematic experience to appease a group of people who can't appreciate world cinema.4. Why is it that every Hollywood movie has to have a "happy ending"? The French film is famous for having one of the most messed up endings of all time, and this movie chose to end like that? It's like everyone involved actively worked to make the movie as simple and tame as possible. This is the movie equivalent of a cheese sandwich. Simple, bland and lifeless. I mean, I often like to give the benefit of the doubt to remakes of foreign films; they will almost never surpass the source material, so why even bother? Some movies deserve to be seen in their original language, and if you are unwilling to read subtitles to watch the film, well, it sucks to be you. But I would rather they not remake any film, ever, if it means that we can avoid getting crap like this. An awful and low effort remake that does not deserve anyone's time.
