Another example of great horror movies coming to us from France. This time the director makes his mixture of a classical American Texas Chainsaw/Hills Have Eyes movie. After the riots in Paris, a group of young delinquents are
trying to reach border and get to Amsterdam with some stolen cash. On their way they will stop at a restaurant near the border. I guess you know that this is the worst (and maybe the last decision) in their lives. At first their hosts (interesting looking family) will seem friendly (maybe too friendly if you know what I mean), but soon they will show their true face.
There is a decent amount of gore and blood, and as in any other French horror(apart from a female hero character) some weird torture techniques and fucked up scenes. The effects are good and this is not some low budget blunder. It amazes me that we have so many fucked up French movies, that are pushing the boundaries of the relatively mainstream cinema. The script could have been better, and apart from some general ideas it is pretty much thin. Still if you like Hostel/Texas Chainsaw type of movies this one is definitely for you, although it is not close to Martyrs…
