Four friends looking for a good time are lured into a strange and dangerous netherworld in this wildly offbeat horror film from France. It's Christmas Eve, and twentysomethings Bart (Olivier Barthelemy), Ladj (Ladj Ly), Thai (Nico Le Phat Tan), and Yasmine (Leila Bekhti) are bored and looking… More

Critic Reviews

  • Nigel Floyd, Time Out

    t's pronounced 'Shite-an', as in 'Shite an' then some'.

  • Jason Gorber, Film Scouts

    Kids-in-the-country vibe mixes teen horror with Deliverance

  • Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid

    Manages a playful sensibility, reveling in its repugnance and enjoying the heck out of its twisted ending.

  • Philip French, Observer [UK]

    At the end, you feel they should have thrown out Rosemary's baby with the bath water.

  • Nicholas Barber, Independent on Sunday

    An eyecatching calling card for its first-time director.

    It's a shame a well played character by Vincent Cassel wasn't enough to save this tripe

    I don't even know what to say. This is not so much a movie as it is Insanity: Caught On Film. To this day I still have no bloody idea what it was about. Apart from wacky, incestuous French satanists and a few kids caught in thier midst. Chapiron has mentioned that this film was… More
