Enragés

In this French remake of Mario Bava's near lost Euro Crime nasty Rabid Dogs, three criminals take a woman and a father and child hostage after a bank job goes wrong. There's zero reason for this movie to exist as it never betters Bava's original, but it features plenty of flashy camerawork, lots of messy slaughter with a body count in double figures and is fraught with tension without. The plot also is not without its rewards, particularly one eye opening moment where the characters make a foray into a small town that looks like they're in the midst of a May Day celebration straight out of The Wicker Man. The movie was screened as part of the Cinema de la Plage programme at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival .
