Netflix horror film with 'unforgivable twist' like 'worst nightmare'

This horror film has been making a splash in the genre, earning rave reviews from film buffs on Rotten Tomatoes, despite it being the director's debut feature.

It's What's Inside is an independent sci-fi horror written and directed by Greg Jardin, featuring a cast of up-and-coming actors, including Brittany O'Grady, best known for her role as Paula in The White Lotus. The actress forms part of an ensemble cast portraying a group of friends whose reunion takes a bizarre turn.

One thrilled viewer hailed the film as "absolute cinema."

They wrote: "Truly a work of art. Anxiously waiting for another dose of this."

Thompson, brings along a suitcase containing a peculiar device.

This enigmatic gadget has the power to enable them all to switch bodies, sparking off an exhilarating game. They decide to liven things up with the device by guessing who is in whose body, but the fun quickly spirals out of control, leading to a stark division within the group.

A viewer wrote: "An EXTREMELY original take on the body swap trope. This has cult classic potential. The plot is original and engaging. The execution and cinematography are exactly what's needed. The acting is robust but fell slightly short of making this a clear 5-star film. I'd suggest this to anyone in the mood for a body-swap film with a few dark twists. It might even be something I revisit in the future."

However, one thing many viewers agreed on was the "big twist" at the end, or as some are dubbing it, the "unforgivable" ending. One viewer said: "Don't completely love the ending unless there's a sequel in the pipeline."

Elaborating further, another mildly disappointed viewer added: "The film is generally quite brilliant. A fantastic drama with a rather unique take on body-swap films. But it has the worst ending I've ever seen in a film. Cut off just at the climax."

The film premiered just last year in 2024 at the Sundance Film Festival and went directly onto the streaming platform. It garnered mostly positive reviews, with an overall score of 79% on the review platform Rotten Tomatoes, and many fans are eagerly awaiting a sequel after its shocking twist.

If you're up for less than two hours of dark humour and sci-fi frights, It's What's Inside is available to stream now on Netflix.
