Review of La meute

La meute (2010)
7/10
another French classic
19 September 2011
France did it again. But this time it isn't a gory brutal flick like the classic French flicks from a few years ago but it does deliver. It's also a good example how merchandising is working. The version that came out in the Benelux has the name Matthias Schoenaerts on it. He's a well known actor and is making it in Hollywood for the moment but be honest, here he is maybe one minute in it and doesn't say anything but a few things. But don't be bothered, if you are a fan of eighties horror then you will love it. The flick do needs it from the actors who are all famous names in France but they surely do deliver the good work in this flick. And naturally the atmosphere made by the houses used makes it up too, the slamming of a metal door, remember Texas Chainsaw, there's a bit of all those classics in it. The blood do flows and it's sometimes even a bit funny with the bikers. And I even recognized a few roads and a tower shot a few hundred meters from where I live. The creatures are something between zombies and evil spirits but are really well done. It is never gory like those other French movies but really one for the buffs out there.
