KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

davejderisi I just watched this movie last night and it was one of the most original horror movies i have seen in awhile. Vincent cassell plays the bad guy, Joseph. The movie begins with a nightclub, where a group of young people will meet and mingle. After one of them is kicked out over a fight, the group of 5 who just met each other, will journey to one of their houses in the country.(of course it's the young cute girls house, helping the decision to leave a well lit and bumpin city scene) Once there, a terror slowly begins to unfold. A terror that is rarely seen. The antagonists in this movie are great, with a strong leading role by vincent cassell. Vincent regularly plays bad guys in lots of movies, as he has something dark and solid about him. This time, though, he is a very creepy and awkward freak force of nature. This film is underwhelming yet overwhelming all at the same time in its material. Expected twists become unexpected as the film plays out. Like the box says, "it has to be seen to be believed" Highly recommended dark indie horror at its utmost quality

ZombieSteak .com This movie was hilarious! I loved the characters in this film all with their own goofy, perverted and dumbass college aged personalities. It seemed to me that I laughed throughout most of the film but there was still enough gore and horror to keep me interested in the horror side of it.Another thing I can say about this movie was there was a lot of "WTF!" moments. I also have to add that this movie has the nastiest description of a woman's private parts I have ever heard and still shake my head in disgust and amusement at it even days later.I don't want to go into it too much but this movie has become high up on my list for movies I would recommend to people. It is politically incorrect and has constant references to racism, but its more to add to the uneducated hillbilly type character that plays in the movie.If you haven't seen this, watch it. It is one of the funniest horror films I have ever seen.ZombieSteak.com - Discover a new world of horror films, designed just for you.

The_Void The French have pretty much proved themselves to be the kings of modern horror cinema over the course of this decade. Films such as Malefique, In My Skin and Inside show what the French can do; and as a result of these films, I generally go into any modern French horror expecting great things. Sheitan is yet another excellent French horror film that works thanks to its untypical approach, mysterious atmosphere and great lead performance by Vincent Cassel. The plot focuses on a group of friends that exit a disco late one night after a fight that resulted in one of them taking a bottle in the face. They hook up with a girl called Eve; who suggests that they escape to her house in the country. They get to the farmhouse and are greeted by a bunch of goats and the strange housekeeper, who takes a strange sort of liking to one of the boys. The group enjoys themselves at the house and spend most of their time trying to get the girls into bed; but soon it becomes apparent that something is wrong with the housekeeper...The way that the plot moves really is the best thing about this film. It's all held together very loosely and the plot itself has free reign basically to go wherever it wants; and this results in a film that constantly feels fresh and inventive as you never really know where it is going to go next. The film relies on its characters to move the story forward and they are a colourful bunch; the housekeeper and the boy he 'befriends' in particular share an interesting relationship. The way that the film plays out is very strange for a Satanic horror film as despite some symbolism and discussions of religion during the film; there's not a great deal in the way of hints that the film even is Satanic horror. Vincent Cassel's character is the real standout of the film in terms of the performances; and he truly succeeds in creating an extremely intriguing horror villain that is interesting and detestable in equal measures. The film does begin to crumble somewhat towards the end and I was really worried that we were going to get a Switchblade Romance-style cop out ending, but luckily it gets corrected in time and the conclusion is a shocker. Overall, Sheitan is an excellent movie and one that will surely improve with subsequent viewings. Recommended!

Indyrod Ending my viewings of the French Horror Wave thread movies, this is one I had to be convinced to check out, and it left me pretty confused. If I hadn't read the synopsis on the DVD box, I would have been totally lost as to what the hell the plot was, and only by reading that I connected the dots to a pact with the devil. Nevertheless, Vincent Cassel's performance is the reason to see this movie, because the story even knowing a little about the plot, makes pretty much no sense at all. It's another one of those partyers going to a house in the middle of nowhere, greeted by a crazy family up to no good. The evil smile on Cassel's face throughout the movie is hilarious as is most of the movie. Nothing scary about it, nothing much in the way of gore, but the creepiness factor is pretty high. I don't think there was one death scene in the entire movie, but it makes no difference, because this is cinema of the weird, and you have to just go with it. This is by far my least favorite of the French horror genre, and I could not recommend it to anybody, except maybe Cassel completist, if there are any of those out there.
