Inside (À l'intérieur) (2007) **1/2

I saw Inside (À l'intérieur) (2007) back in 2008 where I awarded it ***. On "Take 2" I still appreciate the original concept and the unrelenting quality but I found the emotional weight of a pregnant woman in peril to be sidelined by the film's need to flex its gore muscles so frequently. And the gore is effectively disgusting and squirm-inducing but the film is a bit too nihilistic for my tastes. Additionally, the CGI baby scenes have not aged well and don't play well either. The film contains a few nicely shot scenes but also lots of silly character choices. A decent horror movie but not a great film.
