USA2008 70min Digi-Beta Color World Premiere

Synopsis

A young pregnant woman finds herself on a train. The train travels across an ocean of blood, starvation, and horrific ruin filled with dead bodies. This nightmarish reality intersects with the scar-like memory of her dead husband and child to be born. Despite efforts of the passengers and herself, one by one, people start dying out until she gets pain of delivery.
Having worked as a graphic novel artist since the 80s, John BERGIN perfectly transferred the original novel into From Inside. By combining the original art with 3D sequence, the dusky image was restored in the film. In accordance with the supernatural images, the soft and low narration revealing painful memories and inner anxiety guides the audience to join her mental journey. The director's choice of darkwave series of the soundtrack reflects his musician background. (Jin PARK)
