This movie started out so typically to be an American style teen slasher movie, I almost forgot it had a French title. Then the first thing that hit me was that these kids skin was too clear! Then they failed to generate any group cohesiveness that would indicate that they really knew each other and just weren't some random people thrown together to perform at a rich guys house.
Then we get the typical Vincent Price "welcome to my castle" introductions and I thought--this just might work as retro fifties schlock horror. The gratuitous nudity, all female, started to really get me interested, but bad (even worse than the kids) acting on the part of the background characters, totally lost me.
As mentioned before, the photography had a kind of a mixture of "Blair Witch Project" and "The Howling", with some interesting variations on some standard killings, that just seemed forced.
My recommendation: Get a prettier girl with better legs to wear the short skirts and do more Karen Black up the skirt terror scenes while she is being chased by the killer.
