Saints-Martyrs-des-Damnés (2005)

Stylishly directed and indeed very creepy in its first third, Saints-Martys-des-Damnés somehow ends up slipping into the interminable and the annoyingly so-called clever, when in fact, it's just a total mess plotwise once it approaches its clunky finale. One may be pleased by Aubert's beautifully gothic technique, but the story is a headache, and so are the boring characters. Talk about a missed opportunity.
