Inside Reviews

The American remake of 2007's French home invasion suspense thriller À l'intérieur (Inside) is not only completely uncalled for but, worse, totally uninspired. Though it starts off fairly well it doesn't take long for logic and common sense to quickly be launched out the window. A few moments work despite the terrible execution but that's more a credit to the source than this tripe.

And, really, that's it. The source material is so vastly superior that the flaws in this mess are enragingly highlighted. To make it all worse, they neuter the source material too. Gone are the harrowing visceral moments and in there place are inanities that only make you scream at the screen with frustration at the protagonist's choices and the lackluster execution of her confrontations with the antagonist. Did this director know the meaning of a second take? Apparently not because all we get is Lifetime movie level garbage. AVOID and watch the shocking original French classic.
