the casting really makes this drama/horror

I came across this Canadian flick at a sell-out. I remembered it due some interviews and decided to buy it. It came clear really fast that this wasn't going to be a normal flick. After 5 minutes bad things already happens. 

 

Just look at the reviews, there aren't that many for this French spoken flick and that says enough. Due being spoken in French and being made in 2009, the glory days of French ultra gore flicks ( Martyrs, A l'intérieur,frontieres...) it wasn't that much acclaimed because there wasn't any gory shots in it. But still this movie delivers due the perfect casting and excellent performances. This flick doesn't need the red stuff, it's the atmosphere that delivers. No scary moments or jump scenes just straight to your mind this flick goes. I liked it because slowly you go into the characters. There are a few bloody moments and they were done so typically French,everything is shown,especially the brutality.I liked it,there are a few strange parts in it like the chess dream sequences and the chess board at the end. But the excellent performances makes it worth watching.
