What is It’s What’s Inside about?
On the eve of Reuben and Sophia’s wedding, their old college friends gather for a night of revelry and reminiscence at the home of Reuben’s late mother. This coterie of pretty young things harbours a lot of deep-seated and simmering resentments, though. These come boiling to the surface after their old friend Forbes, long-exiled from the clique, turns up with a suitcase containing a mysterious game.
It’s actually rather difficult to say more without blowing the film’s key premise wide open, but what follows is a merciless examination of identity, ambition, resentment and relationships in the social media age, all shot in a dazzling visual style.
The cast of It’s What’s Inside
Brittany O’Grady (The White Lotus) is Shelby; James Morosini (The Sex Lives of College Girls) is Cyrus, Shelby’s boyfriend; Devon Terrell (Totally Completely Fine) and Ali Nordlie are Reuben and Sophia, the betrothed; David W.

Why we’re excited about It’s What’s Inside
Critics have been raving about this one since it made its festival splash, and it’s drawing favourable comparisons to recent youth-oriented horror offerings such as Bodies Bodies Bodies and Talk to Me. And lest we forget, Netflix thought it was worth ponying up a cool $17m for the rights, so this one seems like a safe bet for horror heads.
