Inside (2007)
Directed by Alexandre Bustillo
Scarred for life after a harrowing near-death experience, emotionally fragile mother-to-be Sarah is still struggling to come to terms with her loss. Overcome with silent grief, Sarah now seeks solace in work; however, she is on a collision course with sheer terror when a knock at the door in the dead of night chills her bones to the marrow. Now, the raven-haired, late-night visitor in black wants something precious from Sarah, and will stop at nothing to get it.

What critics compared Inside to
This is a film in conversation with Hitchcock, and Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury’s Inside, that handily invalidates crusty old ideas about people with disabilities lacking agency.
Subtler allusions abound to The Shining (1980), The Lost Boys (1987), Funny Games (1997), The Sixth Sense (1999), and “New French Extremity” landmarks like Inside (2007) and Martyrs (2008).
