I think the only true way to test this theory is by finding millenniumgroup and shooting him point blank in the face wit

The sole purpose of the scene is to elevate the film to unsuspected heights of absurdity. Just when I thought this pointless gorefest cannot get any more implausible and ridiculous and the cop rose from the dead (oh, pardon me, from the brain-damaged, not the dead). At that point I could not but burst out laughing.
I complete agree with millenniumgroup's comment. There is a thing called suspension of disbelief and to convince the viewer to suspend any judgement on the narrative, the film has to maintain some plausibility within the frames of the story. And "Inside" fails miserably at that.
Now, the film features some convincing scenes, which are very effective both emotionally as well as purely on a visual level. But this is as far as the first half of the film is concerned. From one moment on the characters actions just get too implausible and the gore too overused. And after the film lost my interest the in-your-face gore scenes were not even shocking to me any more, not to mention disturbing.
The ending wasn't disappointing, I have to admit, but on the other hand - the whole plot about the crazy, revenge-driven, baby-craving beep with the sharpest scissors in the world was not very satisfying either.
PS Wikipedia says that Jaume Balaguer (the director of the wonderful [REC]) may be directing a remake, which would "accent the terror of the pregnancy situation more than the gore." I'd be happy to see that.

i felt this way about a couple of scenes. this one primarily, the arrival of the cops and their captive, and the Mother's brief appearance in the blood bath. doesn't make it a bad movie though.
They mostly come out at night; mostly. -

It's a riot gun, ie: One that fires bean bag rounds. Still very lethal at point blank range as used in the film, at the very least causing some serious brain damage.
Great suspense in this film, nice effects but oh so many gripes!
Cops that don't call for backup, give a suspected criminal a riot gun, poor room searching technique & general operational safety, and leaving a victim alone in a room without any consideration to evacuating her for medical attention! But hey, it's a horror film so nothing's supposed to make logical sense
See you, Space Cowboy. -

everyone would like to know that too..i thought the director just decided to be random and add that which lost all credibility for me. you really liked this movie? im guessing you like hostel too right? only thing special about this movie was the gore, the plot was realistic but then again not realisticchopping through walls, pregnant women gets random strength during certain timesthis movie was not consistent at all

I agree with zombie cop being comletly out of the line. For me he destroyed the movie. I wasn't a fan of the movie before that moment, but after i saw that sequence I became convinced the movie is beep as it had a terrible impact on the story. Zombies fixing electricity? Get out of here!

This scene was like a -2 score overall for me. It was a complete break with the tone that had built aside from this. Zombie or brain-injury aside, it was unnecessary and just goofy (all the way to him flopping on the couch with the spear).
Aside from adding more violence, were they needing a character to flip the lights for the last shot? Commissioning your zombie to do it is pretty ugh. -

Everyone keeps saying it was the cop that came back to life. It wasn't, it was the kid they had under arrest. He was in a bad way, disoriented and probably brain damaged as a result of having a case of the old scissors in the forehead syndrome.

Well there's no reason, or actually there is one reason: to induce the birth. Strange it seems, because she was going to give birth on that day anyway (as the doctor said at the beginning I guess).
Maybe it was one of those rare methaphors: authorities trying to avoid the birth or to kill the newborn since she wouldn't be a good mother (because she's single) (?). Don't know
The zombie-thing became very stupid for me. -

While starting off really disturbing and creepy the movie soon moved to the ridiculous. The scene that's the subject of this thread was really unnecessary even for this film. Seriously, it dropped my rating down a full two points.
4/10
