Logan D Two detectives investigate missing children in a small mountain village which has it's own mythology built upon a creature known as the Soul Eater. I was unaware this was the same duo that directed Inside, a delightfully visceral viewing experience. This film begins well. I was intrigued by the local lore and anticipating some supernatural causes for the missing kids. Sadly, as the film progressed, I realized this was just a police procedural film with some fine acting but a predictable endgame. Not recommended and not a horror film at all. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/31/25 Full Review prawnda s very overrated. has a few moments, overall is derivative and slow paced, very skippable. some parts of the twist ending are well done, overall the series of twists put together was well below average. the film is also just not medically or procedurally informed at all, so the investigative aspects fall apart under very light scrutiny. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/18/25 Full Review L M Amazing thriller shot in a rural part of France: acting, plot, camera are marvelous. You will stay thrilled until the end. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/25 Full Review Garry A The dubbing is terrible. Having a girl narrator talk about the soul eater was the opposite of scary. I gave it 20 minutes. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/17/25 Full Review Sarfaraz A Alexandra Bustille and Julien Maury co-directed this French murder thriller. Starring Virginie Ledoyen and Paul Hamy. The film is an adaptation of Alexis Laipsker's eponymous novel. The story begins with two stranger law enforcement officers, a middle-aged man and a woman, who travel to a tiny hamlet to investigate a crime. Franck is in town to investigate the disappearances of over half a dozen children, while Elizabeth is attempting to investigate violent murders. The local police declare the murders of a married couple to be a fatal fight between the two, and the town's female mayor requests that the investigation be closed so that residents are not intimidated and flee an already diminishing community. The film is marketed as a horror film, based on the local legend of the Soul Eater, who is responsible for the murders and disappearances, but it has nothing to do with the horror genre. Instead, it takes several different topics and combines them into one story, about a crime of the dark web run by the town's powerful people who kidnap children for sniff videos. Additionally, there is a different angle of terrible drug abuse mixed in with the story. Overall, the film cab be categorized as mystery but not horror. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/10/25 Full Review Peter C Great detective mystery thriller, with lots of murders and disappearances. An overshadowing supernatural element keeps being mentioned throughout, keeping you guessing as to what exactly is going on. Brilliant ending answering all questions. Definitely recommend this.
