Often eyes-averting nasty, delivering visceral thrills that are evocatively matched by more unreal images of Dalle's psycho cloaked in darkness like a bedtime story specter. Go to Full Review

Another New French Extremity movie gets the suped up Second Sight treatment. If you’ve never endured this nail-biting maternal nightmare, now is the perfect time to treat yourself. Go to Full Review

Harrowing yet riveting, Inside makes for one of the strongest (and bloodiest) entries to come out of the New French Extremity. Go to Full Review

Featuring two incredibly physical and dedicated female performances, Inside is an unrelenting thrill ride. Once the home invasion begins, the violence doesn't let up. But - like all New French Extremity - the film also has things to say about race & class Go to Full Review

Stephen G. @patient1 Dec 1 Such a Horrorific intro to our film, it was Utterly Heartbreaking to see, even though there was a possible silver lining for our main character who happens to be a female. Looks like we have a problem  developing now, and it doesn't look good for our main character at all. Someone vile has made an appearance in the film, quite threatening in her actions so far. And said character is back again, and in an even more terrifying manner this time around. Wow... Such Glorious Mayhem, and so Brutal and Shameless in its pure Wanton Violence. See more Robson C Sep 29 Sarah é uma jovem fotógrafa que sobreviveu a um acidente automobilístico, onde o seu marido morreu. Grávida, o bebê resistiu e, agora, quatro meses depois, ela vai dar à luz ao seu filho. Porém, Sarah está deprimida e traumatizada com tudo que lhe aconteceu e não demonstra tanta felicidade em ter o filho. Ela vai para sua casa descansar e fazer o parto na manhã seguinte. Porém, no meio da noite, ela recebe a visita de uma estranha mulher que pode mudar tudo. Um dos grandes representantes do movimento New French Extremity, A Invasora é um filme direto nas suas intenções. E, mesmo tendo 1h20 de duração, o filme é uma montanha-russa sanguinolenta de emoções. O sangue corre solto no filme. Mas para isso acontecer, os diretores e roteiristas Julien Maury e Alexandre Bustillo, no terço inicial do filme, apresentam tudo: a situação emocional de Sarah, a ameaça quase fantasmagórica da estranha, a entrada dos coadjuvantes, para depois iniciar o banho de sangue, em excelentes efeitos práticos. O ponto baixo é a utilização do CGI na representação do bebê de Sarah. Além de destoar de tudo o que está sendo mostrado, o que tira o espectador da imersão do filme, é muito mal realizado. Alysson Paradis e Beátrice Dalle estão muito bem como Sarah e a invasora, respectivamente. Se o filme fosse americano, a personagem de Dalle já teria dado início a uma franquia, devido às suas ações e o seu impacto visual. Entre uma serial killer e uma fantasma, como a Samara, de O Chamado. A Invasora não é um filme para estômagos fracos. See more Natalie O Sep 4 Inside (2007) is the kind of film that doesn’t just fit into the New French Extremity movement—it defines it. Brutal, unrelenting, and gleefully transgressive, it takes a simple home-invasion premise and pushes it to the absolute breaking point of what audiences can stomach. The violence isn’t just shocking—it’s surgical, intimate, and relentless, making you squirm not only because of what’s happening on screen, but because of how long the camera forces you to sit with it. What elevates it beyond mere gore-fest, though, is its razor-sharp execution. The claustrophobic setting turns the house into a pressure cooker of dread, every corner humming with the threat of violence. Alysson Paradis sells the terror and desperation, while Béatrice Dalle’s intruder is one of the most terrifying presences ever committed to film—calm, determined, and viciously human in her cruelty. The tension between them becomes unbearable, and yet you can’t look away. Inside is disgusting, horrifying, and shockingly fun in that twisted way only French extremity can deliver. It’s a gut-punch of pure cinema, a reminder that horror doesn’t have to be safe or comforting—it can be raw, savage, and unforgettable. -------------------- À l’intérieur (2007) n’est pas seulement un film qui s’inscrit dans le mouvement de la Nouvelle Extrême Violence française — il en est l’une des incarnations les plus pures. Brutal, implacable et volontairement transgressif, il prend un postulat simple, celui de l’intrusion à domicile, et le pousse jusqu’au point de rupture de ce que le spectateur peut supporter. La violence n’est pas seulement choquante : elle est chirurgicale, intime et incessante, vous obligeant à vous tordre non seulement à cause de ce qui se passe à l’écran, mais aussi parce que la caméra vous contraint à y rester confronté. Ce qui l’élève au-delà du simple carnage, c’est sa précision d’exécution. Le huis clos transforme la maison en cocotte-minute de terreur, chaque recoin vibrant de menace. Alysson Paradis incarne parfaitement la peur et le désespoir, tandis que l’intruse de Béatrice Dalle reste l’une des présences les plus terrifiantes du cinéma : calme, déterminée et d’une cruauté glaciale profondément humaine. La tension entre elles devient insoutenable, et pourtant on ne peut détourner le regard. À l’intérieur est dégoûtant, terrifiant et, d’une manière perversement jubilatoire, incroyablement divertissant — exactement ce que la Nouvelle Extrême Violence française a de plus iconique à offrir. C’est un coup de poing viscéral, un rappel que l’horreur n’a pas besoin d’être rassurante ou confortable : elle peut être brute, sauvage et inoubliable. See more Jun 14 Sayang oras. Everytime na pinapakita un cgi baby sa loob ng tiyan e nagiging comedy imbes na matakot ka sa gore. Di ko din nagustuhan yun walang kwentang ending See more W C S Apr 26 Taking a plunge into the French Extreme subgenre has its ups and downs. Though the carnage is turned up to 11, there is no substance to back it up. It has a nice cinematic layout/filter, but the acting, terrible sound effects, and nonexistent plot make over the top blood & gore the only reason to watch this movie.
