Full Plot Details

Parisian murder detective commissioner Pierre Niemans is called to Guernon, a self-sufficient, prestigious university in a mountain valley, to investigate the murder on 32-year old professor and librarian Rémy Caillois, whose corpse was found 50 meters high on a steep mountain side, naked, horribly covered in bruises and bleeding wounds, the result of some five hours of bestial torture including quasi-surgical amputation of hands cauterized to prevent bleeding to death- and eyes. Guernon is a closed society of virtually incestuous scientists, de facto succeeding to their parents' posts; the eye-doctor, formerly on the staff, says hereditary genetic diseases are the price of such elitism, but in recent years spread to the simple farming families. Inspector Max Kerkerian examines two crimes in the town: a school break-in with theft of old photos and archive papers as well as a graveyard desecration of Judith Herault, the daughter of local nun Andrée, who lives in a dark cell since 15 years and mumbles the demons who made an attempt of both of their lives have returned to prevent the child endanger their secret. As both police investigations continue, the loner sleuths meet; secrets and other corpses are found, till it all ties together.

Movie Reviews

Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Robin Clifford...culminates in a flat, obvious ending that does not satisfy.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertA breathtaking exercise in the macabre, a gruesome thriller with quirky cops and a killer of Lecterian complexity, and even when the movie is perfect nonsense, it's so voluptuous that you're grateful to be watching it anyway.
Kansas City Star - 8/10 by Robert W. ButlerIt has good tough-cop banter, a couple of satisfying action scenes ... and a load of plot twists you won't see coming.
Baseline.Hollywood.com - 8/10 by Ted MurphyDirector Matthieu Kassovitz ratchets up the tension and never lets go as he tells separate stories of two police detectives whose investigations eventually overlap.
Empire Magazine - 8/10 by Jo BerryConclusively proves Gallic filmmakers can make a movie equally as bad as the worst stuff churned out by their American counterparts.
eye WEEKLY - 8/10 by Catharine TunnacliffeContains a few genuine surprises, and demands that audiences remain attentive.
JoBlo's Movie Emporium - 8/10 by JoBloJust when you thought that the serial killer genre had been beaten to death, the French grab a hold of it and spice it up.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Mick LaSalleDoes not end well. But there's a lot of pleasure in getting there.
Mark Reviews Movies - 8/10 by Mark DujsikThe film has a finely tuned drive, an intriguing build in its plot, and a unique style that balances atmosphere and absurdity.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 8/10 by Sean AxmakerKassovitz keeps the film zipping along with solid pacing and just enough action to clear the credibility gaps as long as the film is rolling.
