If "Dead Again" didn't sell you on the dangers of scissors , "Inside" will surely close the deal: SNIP!

This film discovers more uses for scissors than a Swiss army knife! (Well, er, that's if the Swiss army knife doesn't already include scissors)

In fact, it's debatable if Edward Scissor-hands himself has gotten this much scissor mileage in a lifetime usage of his scissor-hands.

Unfortunately, the scissors featured in this film have fallen into worst hands possible.

Yes. Shear-evil... Evil, but creative, that is!

*here be spoilers, alas this is not much fun if you haven't seen the movie*

Here are just SOME uses:

Body count increaser

Punctuation. Or puncture-action. Well, let's just say it ends a lot of sentences.

Plot device (well, come on! It moved the story forward didn't it?)

Yeah.... so I'll cut-it-out before the groaning gets loud enough for me to hear on this side of my computer.

Anyhow-- definitely find a way to watch this movie, if you haven't already. Alongside the award worthy scissor innovation, it also brings contemporary horror to new extremes.

This was the only movie where I was sitting in proximity of a horror fan who had been excitedly cheering in the beginning, who was so disgusted by the end of it, and absolutely destroyed by the end of it, he was protesting the lines that the movie had crossed.

I smugly told him that this was what horror IS about!

Horror, defined by Dario Argento, is the emotion of pure revulsion.

Stephen King said (and I paraphrase) -- that if Terror is the emotion you experience while riding a roller-coaster- then Horror is the emotion that occurs when the roller-coaster skips the tracks.

And that's exactly what we saw in "Inside"... it goes places, well, I'd never want to see in real life.

And yes, I was numb by the end of it-- but loving every second. Don't tell my doctors.

It was the perfect film to close the show; leaving me blood-thirsty for next year!

Also would like to extend a big thanks to:

Colin, Shane, Chris, Amanda, Sanjay, Michelle, Carol and the rest of the team for making this year so great.
