Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Lucia Ayala
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Guillelmina
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This movie was hilarious! I loved the characters in this film all with their own goofy, perverted and dumbass college aged personalities. It seemed to me that I laughed throughout most of the film but there was still enough gore and horror to keep me interested in the horror side of it.Another thing I can say about this movie was there was a lot of "WTF!" moments. I also have to add that this movie has the nastiest description of a woman's private parts I have ever heard and still shake my head in disgust and amusement at it even days later.I don't want to go into it too much but this movie has become high up on my list for movies I would recommend to people. It is politically incorrect and has constant references to racism, but its more to add to the uneducated hillbilly type character that plays in the movie.If you haven't seen this, watch it. It is one of the funniest horror films I have ever seen.ZombieSteak.com - Discover a new world of horror films, designed just for you.

Co-producer Vincent Cassel gave his handsome star Vincent Cassel (son of the late international star Jean-Pierre) a chance to essay the colorful character role of the repulsive gardener Joseph. Watching him mugging about in a scruffy-haired, ugly-toothed make-up provides most of the fun that is to be had from this peculiar but largely disagreeable diabolical French horror flick; there is little I hate more than the sight of young people waving their arms around in that silly 'hip-hop' fashion and, unfortunately, there is a lot of that going on in the first half of the film
but I must say that watching Cassel's baffled reaction to it was very amusing! Anyhow, three youngsters (each of a distinct race and creed) get in trouble during a Christmas Eve on the town until a beautiful girl (Roxane Mesquida of 2001's FAT GIRL fame) they meet in a disco invites them to spend the night at her farm on the outskirts; there they meet Joseph, his equally unattractive and very pregnant wife, a mentally-challenged relative, the town slut and several of her lusty pretenders. While there is not much gore to be had during the 94-minute running-time, the film-makers decided to substitute that with some disgusting visuals instead: a free-for-all nude swim in the hot waters of a cave; Joseph licking his pregnant's wife tummy; the latter breaking water in the corridor at the climax; an all-important eye-gouging and, worst of all, a completely irrelevant flashback to one of the youngster's one-night stand with (again) an unattractive girl in a tent where her private regions are represented as a table replete with unappetizing food! The events depicted in the film could well be a nightmare being experienced by that same unlucky youngster after being beaten up at the discotheque
or the would-be Satanic rituals revolving around the birth of Cassel's child might really be happening – but, frankly, one never cares enough about any of the characters to spend much time afterwards on sorting it all out. For what it is worth, Cassel's real-life wife Monica Bellucci appears briefly as a female vampire in the black-and-white film-within-a-film being shown on TV at one point!

Here we are.A group of horny idiots travel to a remote farmhouse in France because one of their friends, well, two of their friends want to screw some sexy chick.That's the premise.But what happens when they get there, and who they meet, is what inevitably saves this film from complete and utter toilet flop.Vincent Cassel is the film's savior as he steals every single scene he is in.There are a couple okay parts, as the film is pretty sexual, but a scene in an underground spring is strangely erotic - well, for me I guess and it manages to show just how bizarre this family and community is.But, it's not bloody, or scary, and it is a couple steps away from being garbage. So if you get a chance, make sure to thank your lucky stars that Vincent Cassel decided to steer this film into cult status.

This film was a surprise to me. Surprising in that it had real energy and I liked the acting. Very believable cast and Cassel was once more superb. A real brute of a man. If you are expecting a horror film then you will be disappointed. It is in no way scary. There are a few moments that are unnerving which lend the film a certain edge. You never really know where its going and because of this I enjoyed it. There is no good guy bad guy narrative so it meanders but I did not mind this. It was shot nicely with a few 'doggy cam' touches which are always good if not overused. The ending was also a surprise. It skates along and before I knew it was finished. Packed with clichés but done with a twist. I will be looking out for what Chapiron does next.
