Good film to watch with all the lights off, though it made me want to get a landline and a security system.
Inside - A more gory version of the home invasion genre that creates possibly one of the most realistic and horrifying Big Bads that I have seen on screen. Where Ils made its success with suspense, Inside made its success with crafted gore that does not diverge into torture porn. It's suspenseful, excruciating, and has definitely raised the bar for what I come to expect from home invasion movies. Also, a very smart slasher that has more going on than simply stalking. I cannot emphasize how incredible this film really is.

Watched both of these during the time I was away from here, and I couldn't agree more. Both are excellent and very well done, and I recommend them very highly to anyone that still hasn't seen them.
Its driving me a little insane not being able to see [Rec], and we have had The Fountain here for months, and haven't watched it yet. Will do so very soon.
