In this French thriller from Francois Ozon, Alice (Natacha Regnier) and her boyfriend Luc (Jeremie Renier) find themselves in a terrifying trap when they sneak out into the woods to cover up a crime they committed together, and then cannot find their way back out. Compared to THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT and to SHALLOW GRAVE, the tale is creepy and twisting, involving rape, murder, burying dead bodies, and perhaps the worst of all: getting lost in the woods.

There's a lot of excitement and tension to Lovers and the originality that Ozon goes about it in his 'fractured fairy tales' way makes it adventurous and worthwhile.
