À l'intérieur


















http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0856288/
Sarah (Alysson Paradis) is spending her night at home, the day before christmas, tomorrow she is about to give birth to her baby.
She is all alone since the father of the child has recently died in a car crash. A car crash that Sarah was in on to.
Sarah has worked as a photographer and her boss says she is missed at her work since all the reporters are idiots.
Her boss, Jean-Pierre (François-Régis Marchasson) gives Sarah a lift home after her last visit at the hospital. Her doctor sends her home with the words; - Enjoy your last night in peace and quiet.

At home, later that night a scary lady rings on her door, claiming she knows her name and that Sarah is gonna soon give birth..

À l'intérieur, written and directed by Alexandre Bustillo and co directed with Julien Maury has created a visual and so creepy, but still extremly violent and horrifying movie.
It is not only a extreme horror movie, the way they use the low greyish colour in some scenes are works of pure genius. You will understand when you see it. Key scene to look after is when Sarah wakes up in her sofa by the tv.

Some scenes are more or less like a sculpture out from a ghost haunted picture, a japanese ghost movie if you so will.
The thing with À l'intérieur is that it clearly knows about it and uses it to perfection.

Beside all the tense, blood, make up effects, the colour (the grey, smoke like environment in the house) À l'intérieur is Béatrice Dalle´s movie as La femme.
She uses so little to be scary as hell, just her presente is enough to give anyone chills. Those of you who have seen Anthony Hopkins as Dr Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the lambs (as an example) knows that less is more, on the other hand - the make up department with Alexis Kinebanyan, Jacques-Olivier Molon, Pierre Olivier Persin, Pierre-Olivier Thevenin and Sabine Fevre to name a few doesn´t play by those rules.



















Also, the use of music and sound effects is something that is quite outstanding.

À l'intérieur, is, together with other french new wave of horror such as Martyrs, Frontiére(s), Haute tension, Ils and Sheitan are movies you simply must
have.
