If I'd known that Karin Viard was so short of a bob or two that she had to sign on for this piece of cheese I'd have slipped her a few quid from my own pocket. She's far too good an actress to waste her talents on this, as is Charles Berling. On the other hand there was one positive: Ludovine-I CAN act with my clothes on but I'd rather not -Sagnier, is killed off early. Only problem is she'll be back. Meanwhile it's difficult to see WHO can get any credit out of this rubbish. How many times - The Omen, Rosemary's Baby, The Innocents, The Bad Seed - are they going to wheel out the 'evil' child/children scenario. As dmonteuil has pointed out the French, with very rare exceptions, don't really do horror, so why not leave it to other countries and do what France does best - polars/policiers, comedies, dramas, rom-coms, surely that's a wide enough range.
