Yannick moves to a small, quiet town to study cinema. One day when he fell off his bike, he knocked at the door of the Beaulieu residence so he could clean the blood off his hands. But Jacques Beaulieu and his family had other plans for Yannick. Beaulieu is a righteous psychopath and fanatic chess player who wants to rid the world of evil. And even though Ian has done nothing wrong, he is beaten, tortured and tormented before Beaulieu makes him an offer: win at chess and he is free to go. And so Ian is now a pawn in Beaulieu 's game. A game in which he will either lose his mind or his life.

🔍 Search on JustWatch →Fear lives in the details here — in the frame, in the silence, in the pauses between lines. The director knows how to keep the viewer in a state of readiness, muscles tensing on their own.
Worth watching for the atmosphere and the use of space. The ending may disappoint — genre is genre. But the journey there is well-crafted.
For fans of atmospheric horror where dread matters more than fright.

Viewing atmosphere: At night when it's dark outside. Better with someone — not because it's scary, but because there's something to discuss after.
