User Reviews
“The atmosphere is incredibly weird and oppressive. I loved the carnival setting and the sense of dread that permeates every frame. It's not a typical scare-fest, but if you're into slow-burn surreal horror, this is a must-watch.”
“I appreciate the originality, but the pacing was a bit too slow for me. The dreamlike logic often felt confusing rather than creepy. However, the practical effects and the bizarre imagery are definitely memorable.”
“A hidden gem of French horror. Mocky creates a truly unsettling world that feels like a fever dream. The performances are solid, especially the descent into madness. It's not for everyone, but I was riveted from start to finish.”
“It has its moments of brilliance, especially in the visual design, but the story left me wanting more. Some scenes felt disconnected, and the horror wasn't as effective as I'd hoped. Still, it's worth a watch for the unique tone.”
