Some horror films want to disturb you. À l’intérieur — released internationally as Inside — wants to injure you, and it very nearly succeeds. Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury’s 2007 debut is the point where the wave of French horror that critics christened the New French Extremity reached its most concentrated, unforgivable form: ninety minutes in a single house, one pregnant woman, one intruder, a pair of scissors, and a level of physical damage that most of the genre only gestures at. Almost twenty years on it remains a hard film to recommend and an impossible one to dismiss.
