Review by ma-cortes

Inside

5/10

A routine chiller starring an Indian-American teenager, including tension, suspense and shocks.

So-so but acceptable horror movie full of thrills, chills , and shocking scenes starring an adolescent and by a sinister ghoul who goes amok. This Bishal Dutta's feature film directorial debut deals with an Indian-American teenager (Megan Suri) lives in an idyllic suburb with her conservative mother (Neeru Bajwa) and her assimilated father (Vik Sahay) . Sam's cultural insecurities grow due to her estranged friend, Tamira (Mohana Krishnan), who mysteriously carries around an empty mason jar all the time. Along the way, the teen is struggling with her cultural identity has a falling out with her former best friend and, in the process, unwittingly releases a demonic entity that grows stronger by feeding on her lonelines, shattering her reality and life .

This gloomy terror film contains thrills, intrigue, chills, and it connects with India religion, supernatural legends, Gods and Devils from India. Terror film about an ancient demon goes bersek, this is an American supernatural horror film written and directed by Bishal Dutta and starring Megan Suri. Genuinely scary moments overcome some obvious plot devices; this is a juicy gothic material fashioning an iconic monster providing screaming , chilling and eerie scenes. Bishal Dutta, baptized as the new Night Shyalaman by some critics, places the center of this horror film on Samitha, a young Indian, who lives in the USA and rejects her origins in order to fit in at school, what she does not know is that her roots can save her from a terrible threat. This horror films combines deadly rituals, a demonic entity starts targeting on teens, grisly killings and terrifying visions. During the presentation of the film at the prestigious Sitges Horror Film Festival, in its official section director Dutta declared: "Horror is the perfect genre to portray the insecurities of adolescence". As the director explained: ¨A ghost story that his grandfather told him was the origin of the film that explores, through Indian history and demonic forces, the drama of a young emigrant who seeks to find the balance between her dreams and the new culture of the country in which she lives¨.

It Lives Inside(2023) was mediocrely directed by Bishal Dutta and nothing special, that's why it is full of terrifying situations that we had already seen before and even better.
