Genre: Horror
Slashers are predictable. Even the shots are predictable. But not this truly terrifying French import that will strike your nerve cords from the very beginning and never quits! Two female university students go to one of the girls' house at a remote village to study. But a killer (not your average killer) pays a visit. If the story sounds thin, it is. But what director Alexander Aja presents on screen could have only come from a genius mind, or a very sick person, or both. He assimilates art and gore like nobody else did. The finale is as disturbing as Texas Chainsaw Massacre (which it resembles). I wouldn't dare to call myself a horror fan if I hadn't watched this one.

Trivia: Alexander Aja was only 25 when he directed this. Hmmm... Some people are just lucky to be born with such talent. *weep*
