I find myself liking modern French cinema more and more. Here is an obscure horror from the first time director and it’s good! It has a unique absorbing atmosphere, great cinematography and an amazing performance from the lead actress. It goes into drama a bit too much to my liking but finishes strong as a horror movie.
