Willem Dafoe’s Creative Destruction

‘Inside’ is an intriguing film that lacks thematic depth.

It’s always a distinct pleasure to watch Willem Dafoe lose his mind. Whether he’s playing a schizophrenic supervillain or a neurotic lighthouse keeper, his demented expressions and wild mannerisms can equally inspire horror and hilarity. 

Inside, the debut of director Vasilis Katsoupis, is predicated on the assumption that a fresh portrayal of declining sanity from Dafoe will be captivating enough in itself to sustain a feature-length film.
