It scares the monster ofInsidehorrifying tale of Bishal Dutta. He has a bad habit of devouring souls. Here, in this case, he attacks those of two high school girls. The director, originally from India and living in the United States since his childhood, mixes these two civilizations to surprise the viewer by making him discover an unknown mythology.
” Inside has forged a double identity, just like mine, explains Bishal Dutta in a note of intent. On the one hand, it’s a love letter to the community I grew up in, and on the other, it’s a visceral experience meant to produce the same terror that my favorite horror movies m inspired. This duality gives a very special flavor to this first feature film.
Small budget, high efficiency
Bishal Dutta exploits classic settings – high school hallways, ruined houses – of a seemingly ordinary American suburb to his advantage to heighten the anxiety. The antagonism between the heroine who wishes to integrate into her adopted homeland and her mother still rooted in her traditions of origin is also a driving force for the plot. The transmission is at the center of the story.
With a minimal budget, compensated by a controlled staging, the filmmaker develops a well balanced suspense. Little is seen of the monster, which makes its appearance particularly impressive when revealed in all its horror. We’ll just say that this voracious demon would make a dentist’s fortune. The scenes where he massacres characters from a distance, transforming them into disarticulated dolls, are really very effective. A swing and a school locker become disastrous accessories.
excellent actresses
The actresses – Megan Suri, Neeru Bajwa, Mohanna Krishnan And betty gabriel – get in tune with a heavy atmosphere. We understand that producers of get-out were fascinated by this story highlighting a community that is rarely shown on screen and even less in horror films. Inside seduced by the originality of the mythology that he describes as by its well sketched female characters.
