2000 - 87m.
France

This horror import is just all over the place. It's a wannabe slasher movie and it's a wannabe supernatural tale but since the entire thing is lacking coherency it's hard to say.

A bunch of twenty-something actors head off to a secluded rich man's mansion to stage a play and entertain the odd millionaire's young son (who himself is just as strange and also quiet) and soon find themselves getting killed and seeing all sorts of freaky things.

While this is competently directed by Lionel Delplanque it's too bad the script feels too muddled and the entire events are pretty uninteresting. I was just sitting there bored, unsure of what was going on and waiting for something exciting to happen (nothing does) while getting mild amusement at the poor dubbing and lousy dialogue.

This is totally unwatchable with not enough slashing or sense.
