When violent and gruesome deaths starts plaguing a small mountain village, an old legend about a malevolent creature resurfaces. Two cops with different methods are compelled to join forces and uncover a sinister plot involving the disappearance of local children.
"Co-directors Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo (Inside, 2007) have a knack for mixing diverse sub-genres within the horror, thriller and fantastique realms. Here, adapting a popular novel by Alexis Laipsker, they skilfully manipulate a classic hesitation between differing interpretations of the unfolding, gruesome events: the result of psychosis or demonic possession?" - ADRIAN MARTIN, Rotterdam Film Festival
