You know I really got my hopes up for this one when I saw it was a French made horror/supernatural movie. I remembered the magic all those years ago when I first viewed "Brotherhood of the Wolf" and was amazed how good it was. Could this be yet another thriller classic from France?..DRUM ROLL..no.
Unfortunately this fluff is poorly directed and acted. The storyline is pitiful and the ending makes you wish you had never wasted 90 minutes of your life watching this slop!
First off, Charlotte the main protagonist, is a sort of punk, "rebel without a cause" who is wandering aimlessly in the backroads of rural France. She doesn't have a destination and no explanation is given. She meets some "Road Warrior" wannabes who oogle and make nasty comments at her at a gas station. Later they follow her and she sees a long-haired hippie guy hitchhiking. She decides to pick up this total stranger (maybe for safety?) and for some idiotic reason suddenly TOTALLY trusts him.
Soon they are sharing smokes. She's letting him drive. She even goes to sleep. Finally the hippie drives her to his mom's old bar and cafe and that's when everything starts to ugly.
Turns out his mama is a crazy old hag who likes to summon the undead, especially ghouls that were former miners. The hippie disappears causing Charlotte to go look for him and of course being the bait he gets her caught.
From there the movie is basically torture, blood, torture, death, death, death, death and more death. That's right. Every single character in this film DIES. It makes you wonder why you even wasted your time.
