Inside, which is described as ?French gore genre with an over-the-top sadism?, is being produced by Verane Frediani, Franck Ribiere and directed by Julien Maury, Alexandre Bustillo. Screenplay, Bustillo. Wait did they just say sadism? I haven?t seen good gore like that since Dee Snider?s Strangeland! With that said, Inside, starring Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustill, centers on a vengeful psychopath terrorizing a pregnant women.

According to variety.com, A La Fabrique de Films production, in association with BR Films, with the participation of Canal Plus, Cinecinema, in association with Cofinova 3, Soficinema 3, Uni Etoile 4.

For those who like their blood by the barrelful, Inside is just the ticket. Awash in red liquid that drips, oozes, spurts and pours, pic restarts the French gore genre with an over-the-top sadism sure to please fans of schlock horror. Featuring a vengeful psychopath terrorizing a pregnant woman, Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo's helming debut relishes every chance to show sharp objects plunging into flesh. Low-budgeter should see decent local returns, though ancillary will be what really makes its mark.
