Review of The I Inside (2004) by Jason Y — 09 Mar 2005

[b]DVD[/b] First Viewing, 1 Richter film seen.

I recommend [i]The I Inside[/i] to people who were disappointed in both [i]The Butterfly Effect[/i] and [i]The Jacket[/i]. While it is certainly influenced by stories like those, as well as [i]Memento[/i] and [i]Jacob's Ladder[/i], it stands well on its own - especially for a TV/straight-to-video release. Maybe I was expecting the usual b-movie crap, but I thought [i]The I Inside[/i] was quite involving and even a little thoughtful. It's actually the film I was hoping to see when I saw [i]The Jacket[/i].

I count [i]The I Inside[/i] as a 2005 release, because I think its American release was on television in January. It's DVD release was just last week. I know it was made a long time ago - but it must have sat on the shelf.
