Yeah, the French can do exquisite things with a recycled plot. We have an angry, young Frenchmen rioting in the streets and focus on a small groups of friends/dissidents who decide to pull a big heist during all the confusion. We see how they pull it off but things go awry when one of the gang is shot and taken to the emergency room. We seem to be on track for a normal shoot-and-run thriller set in the not-so-near future as they split up and decided to meet in the countryside to divvy up the loot.

The two lead perps happen upon a remote, lonely hostel that looks good for their purposes. They enter and meet up with two sexy, horny hostesses that are up for anything. They get their room, have a little fun, and then the nightmare begins.

This film has taken all the classic American horror elements and refined them with all the violence, blood, killing, torture, and revulsion you could possibly work in without losing the plot.

Yasmine (Karina Testa) is our heroine who manages to survive her incarceration by a Nazi family despite being drenched in pig shit, stabbed, shot, and bathed in human blood. In the beginning Yasmine is saved by the WWII Nazi "pater familias" who feels it's time for a normal child to be born and carry on their work (which includes cannibalism, of course).

If you get a kick out of this genre (High Tension to name just one) you will appreciate this macabre thriller.
