Netflix's 'It's What's Inside' Delivers Style Over Substance

The body-swapping horror comedy, premiering October 4, is visually striking but lacks character depth.

  • The film premiered at Sundance and was acquired by Netflix for $17 million, highlighting its anticipated appeal.
  • Director Greg Jardin's debut feature uses bold visual techniques, including split screens and vibrant colors, to create a dynamic viewing experience.
  • While the premise of a body-swapping device offers an intriguing setup, the film struggles with shallow character development.
  • Critics note the film's focus on visual flair over narrative depth, with characters remaining largely undeveloped.
  • The film explores themes of identity and desire but often sacrifices coherence for style and frenetic pacing.
