Meanwhile, the police advises that a serial killer is raping and killing young women in the woods around that area. During the night, the group feels trapped and threatened in the castle, guessing who is and where might be the killer.
Acting
Pretty good at most times, although it is poorly dubbed as usual.
Gore
A kid stab himself through the hand with a fork, a girl has her head smashed into a mirror, there a nail from a nail gun through the neck, a gunshot to the mouth, and a guy gets acid pour on his then runs into a spike trap.
Sex/Nudity
There's a sex scene against a tree that shows man butt-and side boob, one girl is seen fully nude exiting the shower, and there a scene where a fully nude women tries to seduces her lesbian lover.
Final Thoughts
A well made french slasher movie, has a lot of red herrings, a lot of which are good ones, and also has fabulous camerawork. Although there is not a lot of blood or overly violent kills, all of the kills are still very intriguing visuals, and provide some good jump scenes. Although the dubbing is poor, you also have the option of watching it in french with subtitles, and overall its a good foreign slasher, that's well worth the watch.
