Good Movie and should be remade....

Yeah, I think all the attempts at humor come from American horror largely being afraid to take itself too seriously so they end up going too far the other way with it, trying to be tongue-in-cheek. Sometimes that works, like I happen to really dig The Faculty (in a B-movie sort of way) which has a good bit of humor, but many times attempts at humor in horror just fall flat and become corny. I like that foreign horror films, especially French and Korean, aren't afraid to take themselves completely serious, which often makes the films rise above the 'norm' of the genre.

And as for Inside, the cops were pretty darn stupid I'll admit. But who else do you think did stupid things? I don't think Sarah or the intruder were stupid, or Sarah's mom, or the unfortunate kid. Maybe her boss was kind of clueless but not in an implausible way.

Sarah did stupid things. The cops gave her a gun and then went back downstairs to get the lights back on. Sarah went to her room and laid down and just dropped the gun next to her on the bed. Then she heard the gunshots downstairs and didn't grab the gun again. The woman came in and got on the bed and Sarah bit her and ran. Um, gun anyone? Then she goes downstairs and can't open her front door for some reason so she slowly makes her way towards the kitchen. You're fighting for your life and your child's and you move that slowly? Does she not still possess adrenaline? She could have gone to the room she was knitting in and finished breaking the window the woman had punched. Then she'd at least be outside to try and find help. Then she had an opportunity at the end to kill the woman but instead decided to walk over to the suddenly alive cop and ask him if he's ok lol

I always thought when she laid down on the bed it was because A) she had faith that the cops would do their job, and B) she had hit a brick wall after everything she'd been through. I had forgotten about the gun, which I agree she shouldn't have dropped. I guess she could've picked it up and blown the woman away right there, but then it would be a 60 min movie lol. The filmmakers painted themselves into a corner when they gave Sarah the gun. But aside from the gun, it didn't surprise me that Sarah was moving slowly, after all her water had broken and she had been slashed and stabbed so many times. Plus, who knows how long it would've taken to break out that window, and she would've been vulnerable with her back to the room. And at the end she was about to kill the woman until she laid the guilt trip on Sarah about the car accident. I think with the woman cowering in the corner all burnt to a crisp, Sarah didn't see her as much of a threat anymore. And when the lights came back on and she saw the cop standing there, it would make sense that she would rather just let the cop arrest the woman rather than having to stab her to death. But of course she soon learned the cop wasn't in any shape to do any arresting lol. You make a good point about the gun though, it's hard to argue.

I don't think you've watched the movie in awhile...

When she laid on the bed with the gun, she heard a gunshot and the guy that was hand-cuffed to the cop yelled "She's still here!!" Obviously, the woman was not who got shot. Sarah should have grabbed the gun again and been ready for when the woman came back to get her. Also, saying that if she shot the woman it would have only been 60 minutes long is a very lame excuse. If you need the movie to be longer, don't set up an idiotic situation; make one that could sensibly continue the movie.

Sarah's water didn't break until the cop at the end beat her with his baton. Sarah walked slowly because because she was an idiot. The window was already cracked. Badly. She could have easily broken it. As far as her injuries, she had a cut to her face, a small puncture to her belly button, and a hole in her hand. And she had her hair pulled some. Those are hardly the type of injuries that would prevent someone from moving at a pace that could mean their survival.

Yes, the guilt trip thing is an acceptable reason for not killing the woman right there, but there's nothing to suggest she was hoping the cop would arrest the woman. You came up with that to cover a plot problem. No offense, but I hate when people do that...

Have you watched the movie recently? Her water clearly broke the first time she entered the bathroom after her belly button was pierced. Either that or she just urinated all over the floor but I highly doubt that. And I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that when she sees the cop, presumably still alive and functioning, that she would look to him to protect her rather than having to brutally stab someone to death. I didn't just think that up to cover up a problem, as I never thought there was a problem at that point to begin with. And when I said it would've been a 60 min movie I was being half-serious, and wasn't trying to use that as an excuse. I already said they made a mistake with the whole gun issue.

She peed herself. Probably out of nerves. It was yellow, too. Her water breaks when she gets hit with the baton. All that clear stuff comes out on the floor. Then she crawls to the stairs and goes into labor. If her water had broken at the beginning she would have been in labor most of the movie.

I didn't mean you as in you. Sorry. I should have said "if a filmmaker needs to make their movie longer they shouldn't just make a stupid scene to keep it going."

Weird, I always thought that was her water breaking. And all good, no worries. I agree adding a scene that doesn't make sense to pad out a movie is no excuse.

I think we kind of hijacked this thread and took it off on a tangent lol.
