A l'intérieur - Alexandre Bustillo & Julien Maury - France - (2007)





Plot from Imdb: "Four months after the death of her husband, a woman on the brink of motherhood is tormented in her home by a strange woman who wants her unborn baby."

That's what I call a hardcore old-school horror movie ! Well done and so brutal that some scenes might be  unbearable to watch for some unwarned viewers, this bloody french flix is good news: way better than its predecessors ("Frontières", "Sheitan", etc...), it shows that simple genre movie can be done in France and done efficiently, by fans of the genre (one of the co-director used to work for Mad Movies, THE genre movies magazine in the country).  The movie revolves around a simple plot with a simple mission: oppress you with it claustrophobic atmosphere and then make you shivers from fright with it crude and brutal violence.  And it does well its job, even if there's nothing new for the horror fan. Apart some minor flaws (some supporting actors are lame (the cops) as usual in French film, some scene are so full of references that it's difficult to judge them impartially), this is a good gory movie and you should consider it. Avoid at all cost if you're pregnant, it might result in a huge trauma. Bon appétit.
