Ratings and reviews

I liked it a lot overall, certainly has its own feel to it. The twist/ conclusion, while interesting, is a bit of a grey area for me, however. I'm not sure that all the pieces fell into place, it feels a little stretched considering what transpired up until that point. So while not perfect, still a good suspense/horror flick

This is a fantastic film. But, it is French, and the audio and subtitles are both in English. The dubbed version is unwatchable. And, it seems incredibly bias and unfair to not have the language this movie was filmed with available. GET IT TOGETHER GOOGLE.

Scary, disturbing film with great cinematography. Can't tell you the twist but in my opinion it doesn't work. There are too many plot holes. It's the kind of movie you watch once and that's enough. It could have been more.
