“I want this to be a special night…”
It’s What’s Inside released on Netflix on October 4th 2024. The dark comedy horror film stars Alycia Debnam-Carey, Brittany O’Grady, James Morosini, Devon Terrell, and David W. Thompson. It runs for approximately an hour and forty-four minutes.
A pre-wedding reunion goes horribly wrong when a mysterious suitcase arrives, unleashing a psychological nightmare on all of its participants, threatening friendships and relationships.
Here is the trailer:
It’s What’s Inside is a bonkers watch filled with lots of fun and shocking reveals that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…
The Pros:
Super fun!
This film definitely channeled Bodies Bodies Bodies in a lot of ways. While not all of the humor landed for me personally, I liked that it didn’t take itself too seriously. The vibe worked in this trippy flick and I dug the sci-fi/psychological elements as well, almost reminding me a little bit of Flatliners.
We had some familiar faces in this one and I’ll always watch whatever Alycia Debnam-Carey is in. She’s an underrated scream queen and deserves more attention.
A shocking moment that kicked things up a notch.
There will be no spoilers in this review, but there was a huge moment that gave this film the deliciously dark edge it needed. My jaw dropped and I was hooked immediately. If you’re thinking of tuning out because of the fluff in the beginning, stick around. This film truly went for it and embraced its trippy plot without holding back.
The Cons:
Messy and over-complicated toward the end.
I really dug this movie, but it did start to spiral out of control by the end. I was slightly confused and had to go back a few times to fully piece everything together. It definitely went for something unique here, but I’m not sure that it fully stuck the landing.
So am I in or out?
I’m in!!!
It’s What’s Inside is fresh and original with a satisfying hook that delivers with brilliant madness.
I was so hyped to watch this film and I think it absolutely delivered!
