There's no denying Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury can make a mean horror film, and there are some really great sequences in this film once it gets going in the second half. I love their unabashed brutal violence. What lets the film down is the story and characters. Unlike Inside or Livid, this one just seems to be a bare bones structure to set up some fun times later. It's not a strong story, it's more of an excuse to justify making some really cool sequences and freaky imagery.
I really loved the 80's slasher vibe that's taken to modern day extremes. If this had a stronger theme and a slightly more believable, or explained premise and characters that weren't so hard to get behind it'd be flat out brilliant. As is, it's a real fun but questionable ride.
