This stylish, sticky and jaw-droppingly graphic 'dark fairy tale' comes from first-timers Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury, and it sure seems like the duo wanted to set their debut effort on STUN. As in: You simply won't believe how far over-the-top À l'intérieur gets. It's powerfully gory, admirably unsettling, bleakly amusing, and at its best moments, the movie is deliciously suspenseful. The plot is about a pregnant woman , Sarah (Alysson Paradis) , 4 months after losing her boyfriend in a car accident , is visited on Christmas Eve by a mysterious woman who wants Sarah’s child for herself by any means necessary.

Four months after the tragic car accident that claimed the life of her husband, the very pregnant Sarah (Alysson Paradis, sister of French pop idol Vanessa Paradis) is relaxing alone in her suburban house on Christmas Eve, waiting for her mother to take her to the hospital where her doctor will induce labour. The silent night is broken by a knock on the door. A woman (Betty Blue’s Beatrice Dalle) calmly asks to use the phone. Immediately suspicious, Sarah refuses to let the stranger in and calls the police, who find no trace of the woman when they arrive. When they depart, Sarah locks the door, unwittingly trapping herself in a jealous maternal struggle for the survival of the new life within her belly. Sarah must fight back against a scissor-wielding madwoman hell-bent on taking one thing away from her.

Hailed by Fangoria horror film critic Alan Jones as “the goriest film since Peter Jackson’s Dead Alive,” À l'intérieur is a fresh work of Caesarean terror that reaches beyond the current American horror trend of Saw or Hostel. Maury and Bustillo, like Haute Tension’s director/writer team of Alexandre Aja and Grégory Levasseur, are die-hard genre fans – and their passion shows. À l'intérieur also shares Haute Tension’s editor Baxter and composer François-Eudes Chanfrault, responsible respectively for jackknife edits and a pulsating score that hits nerve-shattering notes. Dalle’s insane menace and Paradis’s determined survival involve highly physical and exhausting performances. They drive the narrative forward with gut-wrenching force, tapping into a primal fright factor.


Sitting in the dark, you’ll wonder whether those are contractions, or simply the hyperactive beating of your heart, trapped in the madness that is À l'intérieur. It’s too late to call the midwife, because the water has broken, the contractions of terror have begun and the blood is flowing… ~ Coling Geddes:Toronto International Film Festival 2007
