I didn't really know what to expect from this film. I chose to watch a recording of it after I had tried, and failed, to watch two other recorded films - both of which I had somehow managed to fail to record a fairly large chunk of the beginning of the film (in one case, almost half the film). So this was third choice...
I'm not entirely sure why I recorded this as I knew absolutely nothing about it. Possibly it was a chance for me to practice listening to my French, or perhaps the TV guide made it sound interesting. And, for the most part, it is. The film centres around a couple who keep receiving videos from a mysterious source, and the consequences of this happening.
Up until the final ten minutes I was enjoying this film, being intrigued and looking forward to getting the answers. Well, I got answers to one half of the plot. The other half appeared to be forgotten about (although I'm willing to admit I may well be missing something). Perhaps this was all deliberate, but I just found it frustrating.
Rating: 3 out of 5
