Creepy à la française. N'allez pas au village du coup.
the french actors in this movie are to weird such as the slow acting which made this movie to dumb and a huge waste!
Definitely creepy and disturbing, if you read the description then it is totally predictable in a way. Certain scenes are over the top and unnecessary but horror is horror its supposed to go for it and this movie really did scare me. The ending is a bit of a let down but it also kind of kept me guessing as to what it could mean and that's not a bad thing either. Worth watching.
I understand and appreciate the themes it's trying to explore, but the execution just didn't do it for me.
The fact that people actually signed up to work on this film is astonishing to me. Again, European filmmakers are problematic with the real animal cruelty themes that they insist on having in their films. This is a tale of two pathetic males that turned in to 3 pathetic males, among a bunch others who clearly deserved each other. The lead male character...unbelievably pathetic...This film rage-baits and just leaves one feeling utterly disgusted!
