Most horror movies seem the same these days....not this one. This is a long, limited CGI, French film that barely needs words. Horrifically shocking and gruesome is not even nearly strong enough a term for this film. I swear in HD with sourround sound, you could come away from this film with legit PTSD! I have never seen more realistic looking blood in a film! I've seen all the Hostel and Saw movies and this movie makes those films feel like a bedtime story for a 4 year old. Despite being long, the story moves quickly and will have you on the edge of your seat for almost the entire run time. I would never let my wife watch this movie and don't recomend any other woman who has terrors recalling "abducted woman scenes" watch this movie; that's not to say men with a conscience won't be fully disturbed as well. This isn't one of those movies where every scense is dark and close quarters. It's not "scary" as much as "terrifying." Sweaty, gritty, and very, very intense! Actors are almost all pretty good. Character development and plot were solid. Soundtrack didn't get in the way. Well worth the $1.99 and long run time - in my opinion.

Oh my god! What a movie! It gave me the thrill I was itching for in the middle of the night. I highly reccomend it to people who enjoy movies with extremism. It'll get your blood pumping and your heart pounding. My only issue is that a lot of the characters are not very likeable. Not only are they stupid, but they also look stupid. They have very punchable faces, which can really take me out of a movie. Yasmine and Eva were pretty good though. Eva was cute and Yasmine was strong as hell.

Okay for one you have to get over the fact that you're going to be reading some subtitles if you can't get over that fact be forewarned subtitles subtitles subtitles okay with that out of the way this is an excellent flick really you into violence if you're into really gut wrenching horror this is what that movie is about it is a French extreme horror film done when it was at its peak in my taste and I am a gore Hound I loved seen a little bit better but this one is definitely up there with a Siberian film
