A young man contracts a virus from a mysterious, injured woman, and the events that follow make all hell break loose.
Insane!!! Going in cold, the first surprise is that the whole film is one protracted shot! The second surprise is the “old wine, new bottle” approach. If you know nothing about it, I’ll leave it there to avoid spoilers. Writer/Director David Moreau and Shudder break the rules by following three different protagonists throughout this journey of madness. Lucille Guillaume (Julia), Laurie Pavy (Anais), and Milton Riche (Romain) do an excellent job in front of the camera, and the third surprise is that they don’t even have photos next to their names on IMDb.
Given that IMDb doesn’t provide details on how certain scenes were shot (except that the 5th take was chosen), it would be interesting to find out what vehicles were used or how everything was coordinated, especially since everything you see is in real time. Also, Nathaniel Mechaly’s soundtrack is captivating.
It is something that you have seen before, just not that way. Enjoy, as it is one hell of a ride!
