Inside

This film was extraordinary in its solidarity and intrigue. The performances are great all around, the events were harrowing, and most of all, the story is a complete, together exploration of the psychological consequences of loss.

Now pretentious babble aside, I really do admire this film because it does not do the cheap easy way, as many indie filmmakers do, of leaving a majority of events unfinished or unexplained, in an effort to portray some sort of hack message. Inside does not do this, and actually makes you think without forcing it. This film is satisfying, unpredictable and well shot.

I saw this film at the fantastic film fest, where the director did a Q&A afterwords. Hes got a lot of talent, and I cant wait to see what he does next.

This film is included in a boxset of horror films. Clearly misplaced. The only horror is the time lost viewing. Walk, no RUN away. The only positive I can share is that the acting is good. If only the story were not so predictable.

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.

Being an overly emotional parent, and an empathetic son with regrets, I found this movie to be everything in my review topic. I don't think the protagonist deserved any come-up-ins. And I felt bad for the kidnappers the whole time. This isn't my kind of movie, and it moved a bit too slow. But it was a really good story and a good movie. With that said, and since I'll want to see it again some time, I think it's deserving of a 6 rating.
