B P @Bradster69 2d Not Bad, but Not My Favorite See more Logan D @Greynomad38 Dec 21 A few days before Christmas, a singer is stranded and finds respite at a dilapidated inn near a town. He wonders whom he should trust, the innkeeper or the villages. This is not a film for everyone. I think many give it low ratings not because of the quality but the content. There are many disturbing things in this film that viewers will not be able to swallow. I, of course, loved it. Not because of the presence of grotesque social breakdown but watching the slow descent into madness of the protagonist within the surreal logic of the narrative. It doesn't provide comfort. It's brutal, gritty, and not an allegory. Uneven pacing keeps it from being rated higher. See more bill f @BrokerBill Oct 10 Brutal, gripping, tense, disturbing and very weird. I absolutely loved it! On second viewing some time later, even more so. A superbly crafted film that will leave you dumbfounded. Astonishing piece of cinema. See more Diana S @DianaWho 12/17/2024 Kind of a French take on a '70s backcountry slasher, which while not my favorite kind of horror movie, this is as good as any of them really. It's grotesque and macabre and at times absurd. Ultimately entertaining enough. See more Jerod S @jeroduptown 08/13/2024 It's like a french version of "The Hills Have Eyes" - minus the grotesque facial features. The town this singer gets stuck in has a bunch of inbred dudes.
