IMDb plot summary: A group of friends gather for a pre-wedding party that descends into an existential nightmare when an estranged friend arrives with a mysterious game that awakens long-hidden secrets, desires and grudges.
Directed by Greg Jardin. Stars Brittany O'Grady, James Morosini, and Gavin Leatherwood.
It’s What’s Inside is a clever, high-concept sci-fi thriller that takes place in a single location, following a group of college friends who reunite years later and end up testing out a bizarre new technology that allows them to body switch with each other, and things get weird. This is one of the more creative sci-fi films I’ve seen in a while. It's delightfully twisty but all the twists feel organic and earned. It pulls off the small cast and a contained setting and turns it into something surprising and delightful. The characters are sketched out strongly enough that you care about them as things get stranger, making the escalating chaos more gripping than gimmicky. By the end, I was fully won over. It's smart and weird, and I’m so glad I caught it. Definitely recommend this one.
