A French thriller/horror flick about a pregnant woman being terrorized in her own home by this mysterious woman...
It’s incredibly violent. 😁

😁

Honestly, I was just... okay, I guess? Nothing to write home about—there were plenty of plot holes that didn't quite add up for me
I wasn't really feeling it 😁 especially since I had high hopes that it would actually land

it was okay... nothing special... felt kind of messy in parts
didn't really hit the mark 😁 thought I'd dig it more

I actually loved it—honestly didn't see any plot holes. Care to elaborate?

Honestly, I can’t even remember 😁 how some of these characters acted... then again, if we were judging movies based on how much the characters behaved like idiots, none of them would pass the test anyway.

I found the film to be excellent, though I say that strictly in comparison to the other recent releases

Honestly, I think this might be one of the best zombie flicks we've seen in recent memory... 😁

Man, this one is brutal. It’s bloody, intense, and absolutely packed with violence—definitely not for anyone with a weak stomach! That said, I thought the movie was fantastic because it felt so incredibly raw and realistic. The French have really proven once again that they are absolute masters when it comes to crafting horror.

Oh, wait, I totally missed that there was already a thread for this 😁
I’m really digging this movie. It’s a textbook example of that "new French extremism" wave, and honestly, it’s way darker than the rest of them (well, if you count the ending). There’s this one weird thing in the film that feels like it isn't even explained—or maybe it doesn't even need to be—that whole zombie bit, you know? But whatever, it's fine. Just brutal, uncomfortable, and totally caught me off guard 🙂

I find this movie super interesting—it's a total staple of that whole "New French Extremity" movement, and honestly, even darker than most of their other stuff (if you look at how it ends). There's this one weird element in the flick that I don't think they ever bother explaining, or maybe it doesn't even need to be explained (you know, that zombie part?), but hey, whatever... It was brutal, uncomfortable, and seriously caught me off guard 🙂

Are you talking about that prisoner who basically rose from the dead? I felt the same way—felt like it didn't serve much of a purpose.
For me, the absolute most shocking part was when the lead actress slashed her own throat after burning that woman's face... seeing all that blood everywhere was wild. Talk about pure desperation! But man, she realized what she'd done almost instantly and just started taping herself up with duct tape 😳 Usually, I'm pretty quiet when I'm watching movies, but this time I actually had to yell at the screen: "You idiot, what are you doing?! You're gonna die, why would you do that?!" Seriously, such a heavy psychological moment in the film.

I’m putting this straight at the top of my horror list. It’s just brutal.

A top-tier horror flick. Honestly, the French have always been masters at this kind of visceral, brutal filmmaking—think movies like Martyr or Frontier(s).
