Movie Review: Inside

During the early stages of her pregnancy, Sarah Clarke (Rachel Nichols) is involved in a car accident which takes the life of her husband, and leaves her partially deaf. Months later, it is Christmas, and the now-heavily pregnant widow is all alone, feeling depressed.
She hears a knock on the door, and finds a woman (Harring) asking to use her phone. Sarah lies, saying that her husband is sleeping and she does not want the noise to disturb him. She tries to persuade the woman to seek help from her neighbour (Ben Temple).
To her shock, the woman accuses Sarah of lying, saying she knows that her husband is dead.
Terrified, Sarah shuts the door and calls the police. Two police officers come to her house to check, and find no one there.
But the moment the police left, the woman breaks into her house and sets out to get her unborn child at all cost.
A terrified Sarah locks herself in the bathroom to keep herself and her child safe. Naturally she cannot stay in the bathroom forever.
This film is a remake of the 2007 French horror film. I remember watching the French version years ago and being entertained by it. Unfortunately, the remake fails to entertain me.
The two female leads are dull and colourless in comparison to Alysson Paradis and Béatrice Dalle who played the widow and the psychopath respectively in the original version.
While the movie has an interesting beginning with a few scary scenes, it could not hold off the boredom that crept in half way through the movie.
Not only did the director fail to hold my interest, I was wishing the woman would just cut open the widow’s stomach and take the baby out so as to end our ordeal once and for all.
Frankly speaking, this remake would have been better turned into a TV movie.
