From the producers of DIMENSION films, comes one of the company’s newest additions, DIMENSION EXTREME. Featuring movies that “push the envelope” with horror, sci-fi and dark thrillers. Of those films is their new release INSIDE, due to hit stores April 15, 2008.

Written and directed by the French native, Alexandre Bustillo (Director of the Hellraiser remake due out in 2009) INSIDE is the story of a widowed young woman who is bitter and angry about her circumstances. Grieving the loss of her husband and carrying their unborn child, Sarah (Alysson Paradis) is a news paper photographer that lives all alone in suburban France . The night before she’s due to go into the hospital in preparation for giving birth, she is visited by an uninvited guest. A woman determined to make Sarah’s baby hers. Armed with a very large, very sharp pair of scissors, the psychotic woman turns what was supposed to be a night of rest and anticipation into an unforgiving blood bath!

You can tell from the very beginning of this film that it is going to be an eerie, mysterious, and bloody ride! The two opening shots are both very powerful, but afterward the movie is slow moving, making you wonder when your gonna get to the good stuff. But trust me, once the violence starts, the blood and violence is relentless! The kills are beautifully gory; the special makeup effects are over the top! Hands down amazing! They really got some amazing shots, including an ending scene that involves a large, cascading flow of blood. To sum it up, it’s a very unique and original film that has added a Scissor swinging psychopath to the list of all time freaky ass villains! If I were a pregnant woman, this film would scare me into labor!



DVD Special features:
The making of INSIDE- This is a really good look at the inner workings of the film. THE MAKING OF feature spends much time showing the actual behind the scenes takes and quite a bit of time talking with most of the crew members, getting input from everyone who worked on the film. Much of the cast were new comers and didn’t have much experience under their belts, but did an amazing job none the less. The physical training shots are fun to watch, as is the special effects makeup. This DVD didn’t have much else to offer as far as special features go but this one thing was pretty interesting, I enjoyed checking it out.
