🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director builds tension economically — doesn't waste it, holds it in reserve. The film pins you to your seat methodically, without rushing.

Sustains tension exactly as long as needed. May dip slightly after — but the overall level is good.

For viewers who appreciate intelligent genre work without dumbing down.

Director: Guillaume Nicloux
