Our take

Working with the rules of the giallo_genre to clever effect, Laurent Achard’s third feature plays at once as a haunting, masterly scripted horror, and a heartfelt homage to the world of cinephilia. A sinister inquiry into the multiple ways that desire can be projected. Get ready to scream!
