‘It Lives Inside’ Review – One of Us
This week the One of Us crew takes a look at a new elevated horror – check out their It Lives Inside review.
Directed and written by Bishal Dutta and co-written by Ashish Mehta, It Lives Inside is a story of second generation immigrants struggling with cultural identity in the middle of an ancient creature feature tied to the stories of their ancestors.
Samidha (Megan Suri) is a pretty popular Hindu high school student who tolerates her popular in-crowd friends. Her childhood friend Tamira (Mohana Krishnan) moves through the halls whispering to a glass jar and is completely shut off from her classes and colleagues. A teacher named Joyce (Betty Gabriel) seeing all the red flags of depression within Tamira askes Samidha to talk to her, since they used to be the best of friends.
Tamira tries to confide in Samidha but Samidha is not having her rantings about monsters from Hindu fairy tales. This aggressive rejection of a friend in need results in an invisible monster with a hunger for sorrow.

Bradly, Jordan, and Melina discuss the horror genre as an elevated platform for stories from different perspectives, in this case, Hindu culture and teenagers. They debate what’s more spooky, the Jaws approach or the front and center loud and in your face method.
