Weird. Some sort of horror from France.
Well … there is humour, mainly around quirky Ida — some sort of online detective hacker. She’s terminally ill so doesn’t much worry about anything she does.
The plot is confusing.
Opening Shot: “1994.” The camera pushes in on a house on a lake. SWAT teams arrive in rafts and put up their weapons.
The Gist: The SWAT teams are there to invade the house, in the French Alps village of Levionna, which is the headquarters of a cult led by Caleb Johansson (Stefano Cassetti). Johansson ends up being the only survivor after a mass suicide …
Decider
30 years later the village economy is dominated by a mysterious company, apparently an anthracite (coal) mine.
A journalist looking into the past cult deaths is kidnapped.
His daughter — Ida — arrives to rescue her Dad.
After another seeming cult murder, Jaro Gatsi is blamed by the townspeople. He’s an ex-con who was hired to work at the ski resort.
There’s Jaro’s friend. Who’s got relationship problems.
Next — a troubled police detective, who seems to be the only cop actually trying to solve this thing.
An evil nurse in an insane asylum.
Too many fights. Gunshots. A car chase. …
The whole thing is pretty dumb. Who approved this script?
On the upside, it’s original and not often boring.
