Un Zievereir As backwoods horror films go this isn't great. Gaping holes in consistency, some nonsensical behaviour, and some low level moments are found in this film.Benjamin Biolay seems to pose more than act, suggesting perhaps he should stick to singing and beautiful women. The award winning Emilie Duquenne is introduced driving whilst nodding to music. She looks so uncomfortable doing so that this sequence almost signals that the film to follow is not going to exactly be top notch. And it does turn out a bit of an amateur affair. It is possible to see how this would have been a first class movie if they had spent more time on the editing and generally reworking the script, and recast.There are some better aspects as it does feel like the auteur is a lover of this genre. Yolande Moreau fills the screen and creates most of the madness. Some of the lines from the generally entertaining dialogue are great. The music and soundtrack is excellent and well chosen. A surprisingly weedy Matthias Schoenaerts looks hilarious in his brief cameo as a goth.A mediocre production that seems to have some good ideas and love behind it, and the film does provide some decent moments and Yolande Moreau.

SpannersGerm669 On a lonely country road, Charlotte ( a young angry woman ) is travelling in her rusty old car ... clearly running away from something, which is unclear. Along the way she picks up a hitch hiker by the name of Max. Max is a strange man, but Charlotte could use the company. When they stop at a Truck Stop, owned by a woman named "La Spack" , Max mysteriously goes missing when he goes into the mens restroom. When no one else is giving her satisfactory answers concerning his whereabouts, Charlotte decides to investigate further, and unknowingly falls into a trap.This is another very recent New Wave French Horror that may initially disappoint you to start with, but on second and third viewing, the film comes across as a lot of fun, but not much else. The characters were paper thin, but there were some very memorable performances, in particular, Yolande Moreau as La Spack. A very sinister and unique type of villain. That was one old woman not to be messed with! I loved the costume designs for the creatures, which also brought some fairly decent gore as well! Unfortunately the gore was few and far between and for a film of this nature, it was a little disappointing to see that the bloodbath that was on offer, wasn't as bloody as it could and should have been. The ending is fairly straight forward, which concludes a fairly straight forward film. If you are a French Horror fanatic, such as myself, this one will interest you. If you are just a casual viewer, this movie isn't something you haven't seen all before.

trashgang France did it again. But this time it isn't a gory brutal flick like the classic French flicks from a few years ago but it does deliver. It's also a good example how merchandising is working. The version that came out in the Benelux has the name Matthias Schoenaerts on it. He's a well known actor and is making it in Hollywood for the moment but be honest, here he is maybe one minute in it and doesn't say anything but a few things. But don't be bothered, if you are a fan of eighties horror then you will love it. The flick do needs it from the actors who are all famous names in France but they surely do deliver the good work in this flick. And naturally the atmosphere made by the houses used makes it up too, the slamming of a metal door, remember Texas Chainsaw, there's a bit of all those classics in it. The blood do flows and it's sometimes even a bit funny with the bikers. And I even recognized a few roads and a tower shot a few hundred meters from where I live. The creatures are something between zombies and evil spirits but are really well done. It is never gory like those other French movies but really one for the buffs out there.

kosmasp But then again we would have missed out on a very suspenseful and very good beginning of this movie. But somewhere after one third of the movie it changes gears drastically ... and unfortunately it looses almost all of its drive. Movies that change "lanes" or "gears" are not uncommon (the original From Dusk til Dawn being the most recognizable), but in this instance it just does not work in favor of the movie.It should have stayed with the humor and pace it established at the beginning instead of trying to experiment too much. Sometimes a few glimpses of that shine through in the latter part of the movie. Still not enough to make this worth-while and a very disappointing ending concludes the whole thing. A shame then, but maybe the director can and will come up with something better next time around.
