In an isolated chateau in
France, a grandfather (François Berléand) hires a group of actors
to perform "Little Red Riding Hood" for his young grandson's birthday.
During the festivities, the police come by to warn them that a murdering rapist
is on the loose, and later that night, dead bodies start appearing. The mystery
is on to figure out who the killer could be. The creepy grandfather, the weird
kid, the groundskeeper, one of the actors themselves? This is a slasher
flick, so there is a bloody killing in the beginning, and then a long drought
in which very little happens. Amongst the group is a couple, Jeanne (Alexia Stresi),
who speaks only in sign, and Sophie (Clotilde Courau). At one point they are being
watched and photographed while they make love in their room. Sophie is the one
who is most worried about their safety and stays inside while the others look
around the grounds. Jeanne takes the opportunity to have sex with one of the guys
outside, and when she comes back in, she acts as if all is normal between them
(just a bisexual slut, evidently). And now the killing really starts. Weird
stuff all around, but not that scary or gory. |
