    Yep, it did. I'm one of those who rated it a 1 because it's so insipid, just like every home invasion horror made post-1993.
    I'm surprised to see this below average attempt at being a torture porn is rated higher than REAL horror movies like Friday The 13th (1980) or Shock (1977) or A Bay of Blood (1971).

      What's really insipid is self-proclaimed "film" buffs insisting on putting dates after every movie they mention. Like you want everyone to know how much you know. I understand doing it for remakes, etc. But come on.

        Out of those three movies, only "A Bay of Blood" is any good. "Shock" is a piece of crap and "Friday the 13th" is just a mediocre remake of "A Bay of Blood". I like "Inside" better than all three though.

          How is Friday the 13th a remake of A bay of Blood? Because some kills are similar? Er, the premise of F13 is wholly different from ABOB to be called a remake. A rip-off, maybe, but not a remake.
          Cool if you like Inside more than all three. Two years on and I still think what an overrated bore Inside is compared to 3 legit classics.
          P.S: Only 2 French horror movies I'd consider a classic, none was made before the year 1960 and after the year 1997.

            Just curious why do you use 1993 as a cut-off date? Is there some film you recommend from that period?

              For me 1993 is the year where the last watchable home invasion film was released (
              When a Stranger Calls Again
              ).
              From pre-1993, I'd recommend
              Black Christmas
              (1974) and
              When a Stranger Calls
              (1979).

                Should drop to an 6. Can't believe that people actually find this is 8 worthy The beginning was good. But the biggest part of the movie with the cops who by change happen to be retarded is just plain stupid. Meh.

                  I gave it a 3. Hopefullly that will help bring it closer to the proper rating.

                    I wanted to be nice and give a 3. But I just couldn't. It's too amateurish and actually is an insult to the audience. Hence the 2. And still I was being lenient.

                      I don't understand, if anything it deserves an 8
                      GTFO!
