Manages a playful sensibility, reveling in its repugnance and enjoying the heck out of its twisted ending.
03/16/07
At the end, you feel they should have thrown out Rosemary's baby with the bath water.
02/26/07
An eyecatching calling card for its first-time director.
02/26/07
If only Cassel had saved his performance for a collaboration with the League of Gentlemen.
02/26/07
Despite the air of brutish aggression and sexual predatoriness, little happens until gory retribution finally rears its head.
02/23/07
Totally bonkers – but all the more gripping for it.
02/23/07
The film, shot in a demented, headlong style, seems to have no idea of its direction other than the shelf marked "cult".
02/23/07
As a grotesque parody of the hillbilly-terror genre, it has a real wit and energy.
02/23/07
A contrived and very self-conscious genre piece of hardcore black-comedy horror in a 1970s vein.
02/23/07
Has plenty of atmosphere but can't make up for unpleasant characters and a meandering story.
02/23/07
Vincent Cassel is the overpowering presence here; his perma-grinning, unkempt Joseph is brilliantly unsettling.
02/23/07
Despite some pretentious touches – a night-spot named Club Styxx, a guard dog called Cerberus – Satan doesn’t take itself too seriously.
02/22/07
t’s pronounced ‘Shite-an’, as in ‘Shite an’ then some’.
02/22/07
Entertaining and genuinely creepy at times this boasts strong performances from its French cast.
02/22/07
wrong on so many levels that the mind boggles
01/05/07
Without being overtly graphic, this audaciously boorish and naughty film delivers the familial conspiracy of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre with unnerving Deliverance-like hicks as slapstick riffs...
