Final Girl on 6th Ave: Inside (2007)
We return to torment ourselves with more nihilistic French extreme horror, this time daring to face the nasty but remarkable “Inside”.
On this episode of The Final Girl on 6th Ave, host Carolyn Smith-Hilmmer takes a deep dive into the ultra-disturbing, jaw-dropping French horror film Inside ((French: À l’intérieur) directed by Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo. Written by Bustillo, it is the first feature film from either director. It concerns the attack and home invasion of a young pregnant woman by a mysterious stranger who seeks to take her unborn baby. This terrifying and relentlessly brutal film is a prime example of the new wave of French extreme horror… and an absolute must-see. – Stephanie (Editor-in-Chief)
SHOW NOTES FROM HOST CAROLYN SMITH-HILLMER:
INSIDE (2007) is a revolutionary take on the stereotypicaly home invasion film. With body horror aplenty and a woman as the perpetrator, this film takes on fetal abduction, revenge, and grief in such a manner that will have the viewer questioning themselves for days after watching. Oh, and need I mention that there is a spectacular performance from a CGI fetus?

Climax (2018)
Experimental horror is not for everyone. I give many thanks to the universe it is my favorite cup of tea. Gaspar Noe’s Climax is a descent into the minds of a drug-addled dance troupe inside of an abandoned school in France. What could possibly go wrong?
