action
The pregnant photographer Sarah Scarangelo is seriously injured in a car accident, her husband Matthieu dies from his injuries. Four months later, one day before Christmas, her doctor told her during an examination that “she” was developing well, the next morning the birth would be initiated, and he asked her if she had someone to take her to the hospital.
Sarah is picked up by her mother, who is against Sarah taking photos with burning cars during suburban revolts in Paris after the birth. She then sits in a park and photographs people at random when her supervisor Jean-Pierre sits down next to her on the bench and the two make out that he is driving her to the hospital at seven in the morning the next day. He receives the house key for this. Going to his car, she says it is her right to be alone for Christmas. Her boss only says: "I'm sure you will think differently in a year", referring to the upcoming birth of your child.
Once at home, she falls asleep in the rocking chair and has a nightmare in which her child is born by mouth. She wakes up by the doorbell, but cannot see the person through the peephole. The woman pretends to make a phone call because her cell phone battery is empty and her car breaks down. Sarah doesn't want to let the woman into the house to make calls, so she claims that her husband has to go to work early the next morning. Thereupon the unknown woman at the door says: “You have no husband, Sarah, your husband is dead!” Sarah gets scared, escapes into another room where the unknown woman is standing in front of the glass door of the terrace and lights a cigarette. Her face is briefly visible. She knocks on the door, the glass begins to crack, but is not completely destroyed. Sarah takes her SLR camera and takes a few photos with the flash switched on, after she calls the police, already half panicked.
Sarah develops the photos in her own photo lab and notices that this woman has already seen her in the park. A little later the police arrive and promise to inform a patrol so that they can come by regularly throughout the night. She speaks another message on Jean-Pierre's mailbox, asking him to edit the pictures. She goes to sleep calmly when suddenly the unknown woman stands in her room, disinfects a pair of scissors in alcohol and pokes Sarah through the navel. Sarah wakes up and has the scissors pulled through her face so that she has a gaping wound on her left cheek. However, she managed to evade another push, hit the unknown woman with a bedside lamp and took refuge in the bathroom, where she locked the door from the inside.
The superior arrives. He wants to take a quick look again to see if everything is okay. He meets the unknown woman, calls her Sarah's mother because he has not yet met her mother and is relieved that someone is looking after Sarah. Sarah tries to understand all of this through the bathroom door. Sarah's alleged mother only says: "A mother knows when to take care of her child." He then wants to go again, but is offered another drink. Jean-Pierre then finds the too dark photo that Sarah took of the unknown woman on the terrace and wonders what can be seen in the photo. The unknown woman then wants to take out the scissors to apparently kill Jean-Pierre with them. However, it does not come to that because at that moment the front door is unlocked and Sarah's real mother enters the house. She doesn't recognize the unknown woman either, Jean-Pierre is confused and Sarah's mother goes up the stairs to look for her daughter.
Jean-Pierre then realizes that the unknown woman is in the photo. Sarah's mother comes to the bathroom, Sarah opens the door, her mother stands on the threshold and, fearing that the unknown woman would enter the room, she stabs her mother in the neck with a large hairpin and kills her. Jean-Pierre comes upstairs and sees the dead mother. While he is kneeling on the stairs, the unknown woman stabs him brutally several times with her scissors until he, too, lies lifeless. Sarah locks herself back in the bathroom while the unknown woman is dragging Jean-Pierre into the living room and stabbing him in the eye and brain through a pillow, so that he is finally dead.
Sarah goes to her bedroom where she hopes to find her cell phone, but the unknown woman has already removed it. When she comes up the stairs again, she sees Sarah, who is just trying to flee again into the bathroom where she hopes to be safe, but the woman manages to grab her hair before she can close the door. Sarah manages to stick the big hairpin in her arm, which breaks off there. The woman then pulls her arm out of the door. The door is locked again, the unknown woman sits in front of it, smokes a cigarette and pats the approaching cat, who ultimately breaks her neck and throws her away.
A police car drives past the house while Sarah tries to destroy the door, which was locked by a chest of drawers from the outside by the unknown woman. The unknown woman opens the door, two policemen who were not there when Sarah called, mistake it for Sarah, are surprised at the knocking noise, but hear that this is an old washing machine and disappear again. Sarah can stretch her arm through a now larger hole in the door, which is her undoing: The unknown woman, who has become angry at the noise, fixes Sarah's hand on the outside of the door frame with scissors.
The police officers come back - they have noticed that the unknown woman is not pregnant. One policeman goes up the stairs to find Sarah, while the other begins to arrest the unknown woman. However, she pokes him in his eye with another pointed object that she hid in her sleeve, whereupon he lies dying on the floor. The woman steals the overwhelmed policeman's pistol, uses it to shoot his colleague, who has arrived at Sarah's, and lures another plainclothes policeman who is waiting outside and is armed with a rubber bullet into the house. The policeman still handcuffed an arrested rioter.
The two reach Sarah, give first aid, then search the house and discover that the woman has disappeared, but when the light goes out. The policeman later bandages Sarah's hand, gives her the revolver of his killed colleague and goes downstairs to call for reinforcements and an ambulance. Sarah lies down in bed while the prisoner and the plainclothes officer try to fix the fuse, but when they realize that the woman is still there. The policeman falls over lifeless, the unknown woman struck him down with the rubber bullet, which she was able to acquire unnoticed. The prisoner gets a pair of scissors rammed into his forehead, which he can pull out before he lies lifeless.
The woman comes into the bedroom and tries to kiss Sarah, who is lying in bed, when she bites off her tongue and escapes from the bed to the first floor. The attempt to open the front door fails because it has been locked. The stranger attacks her and, after a short fight that Sarah loses, pulls her into the kitchen. Sarah then wants to kill her child by ramming a sharp object into her stomach, but her opponent prevents her from doing so with a targeted hit with a toaster. The woman kneels in front of Sarah, who is lying on the floor, lights a cigarette and as a result of Sarah gets her face burned with a spray bottle with flammable contents lying on the floor. Then the woman runs away screaming. Sarah threatens to suffocate from her injuries and can barely save herself by cutting her trachea herself.
As a defense, she makes an improvised lance and, guided by the flashes of her camera, walks through the dark house to look for the woman she finds in a closet. She is about to start killing them when she is asked: “Do you want to kill me again, Sarah? You've done it before! ”You can see the accident in which Sarah's husband Matthews died, and you can see that the woman, also pregnant, was in the other accident car. Sarah replies that she was told that her opponent died in the accident.
Sarah walks into the living room perplexed when she realizes that the policeman who was struck down with the rubber bullet is still alive and turns on the light on the fuse box again. Sarah speaks to him, but the policeman, completely confused by his severe head injury, attacks Sarah. He hits her stomach with a stick, which bursts the amniotic sac. The woman rushes to Sarah's aid and kills him with her lance. Sarah flees, torments herself up the stairs. In doing so, her strength is now finally weakening. The woman grabs the famous scissors, goes after and catches up with them. Sarah announces that the child is coming but is stuck. After brief calming down by coaxing and stroking the head, the stranger begins to cut Sarah's dress in such a way that the belly is exposed, so that the only remaining means of getting the child alive and still carrying out her original plan is to perform a caesarean section.
Without further words and only with an occasional "shh" to "calm down", the unknown woman begins to give birth to the baby unprofessionally. The last pictures are the woman with the baby in the rocking chair in her arms and Sarah's body on the stairs.
Reviews
“ À l'intérieur is one of the long-awaited surprises that shows in a rock-hard way how to deliver a horror film that can convince on all levels. In addition to excellent acting, scenes are offered that regularly outdo each other in aesthetics and brutality, which makes À l'intérieur a high quality shock experience. Only the questionable resolution and a few logic gaps towards the end spoil À l'intérieur the top grade. "
“An extremely brutal, unpredictable film as one of the top of the French slasher genre. With exquisite camera work and solid actresses, a corpse-rich shocker presents itself, which not only gets under the skin, but also hits the stomach. "
