Presentation: Of course my home theatre rocks!

This is one fucked up movie, but it was AWESOME! As my friend put who I watched it with, it's really kind of a few films in one. The 3 acts in the film are so interestingly broken up, you film like you are watching several different films. Some really frightening moments at the beginning too.

This is how horror movies should be done. Watching someone bash another's skull in until it mushes is a sight you don't see often in cinema, and let me tell you, it's intsense.

Make sure to crank up your faders too...great soundmix. Just make sure to avoid the English dub, and lisening to it in its native French.

IMDB Listing

I was worried we'd see an American remake when searching IMDB and found multiple listings. The other one, however, is another movie entirely but just as twisted. Here's the description:

Four people, each representing one of the major fast food chains, lock themselves in a house and eat only the food on their respective menus to see which fast food chain will kill you first

There's probably a good reason for that, don't you think?
