Among the Living
Directed by Alexandre Bustillo, Julien Maury
In the grisly third feature from Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury (the duo behind French carnage breakout INSIDE), three boys skip school to wander around an abandoned film studio. Bad move. The trio soon stumble upon a horrific vision: a woman in chains being dragged by a man in a clown mask. Evil Bozo catches a glimpse of the boys, who try to run away. But, before they can escape, they see something hidden for years - which they were not meant to see. That night someone breaks into their homes, seeking to eliminate them…one after another. A SHUDDER EXCLUSIVE. Contains violence and gore.
Youngsters, Victor, Dan and Tom skip school and stumble upon a horrific vision.
Cast: Anne Marivin, Theo Fernandez, Francis Renaud

There seems to be a lot of back and forth on whether or not this is a good movie and all I have to say is: meh. It is an interesting look into French horror but it isn't special in anyway. Their horror isn't that far removed from English horror and was relatively predictable. This movie was so slow-paced that when the high-intensity moments happened, they fell flat. At no point was I scared, surprised, or unsettled. It was something to watch. The acting was decent in the children. The beginning didn't really make sense as a tie into the rest of the movie. Mild Spoilers: There were a few things that were just so painfully obvious that their purpose was to further the plot. The missing cat, the poster, etc. It doesn't explain how the boys are found and it doesn't account for the fact that they've already talked to the police so killing the kids isn't necessary. I won't watch it again. And I wont be referring this to anyone.
Good movie
