Director: Eric Tessier. Review: Adam Wing. A French language Canadian horror movie set at the end of a quiet street in a small town - a street that just so happens to have the word ‘Elm’ in the title. Alarm bells should be ringing already for Yannick (Marc-André Grondin), an intelligent teenager who stumbles upon the Beaulieu residence after a biking accident. Jacques (Normand D’Amour) insists that Yannick has knocked at the wrong house, but nothing can prepare him for the terror that waits behind door 5150. Jacques is a psychopath and a fanatic, determined to rid the world of evil. His wife Maude (Sonia Vachon) has long put up with his physical abuse, but stays with her murderous husband to ensure the security of their youngest daughter Anne (Élodie Larivière), a tormented child suffering since birth from severe mental illness. Oldest daughter Michelle (Mylène St-Sauveur) is following in her fathers footsteps,...

Director Charles-Olivier Michaud can say whatever he wants. The fact remains that like most Quebecker movie makers, Michaud is trying to make commercial films that are as fun as American films.
Although his film isn't revolutionary, it will please to its audience.
The very thin story follows Delphine Lamarre (Mylène St-Sauveur), a girl of twenty years old. She wants to be a professional dancer, but Delphine's parents (Marina Orsini and Paul Doucet) wants her to study medecine at the university. With the support of her grand-mother (France Castel), Delphine gives up her studies behind her parents' back.
In fact, a famous American choreographer drops by Montreal in search for dancers who are fit to be a part of a world tour. This is why Delphine wants to train hard. Besides, her partner is Marc Painchaud (Nico Archambault), an arrogant dancer who once was her best friend's boyfriend.

5150 Elm’S Way (aka 5150, Rue Des Ormes)
Stars: Marc-André Grondin, Normand D’Amour, Sonia Vachon, Mylène St-Sauveur | Written by Patrick Senécal | Directed by Éric Tessier
Chess is a game of war. It’s a battle of strategies where only one side can win. What happens when chess becomes an obsession, a means to even argue the right to kill all because of a game that must always be won? What will that obsession do to your life? That is the question posed in 5150 Elm’s Way.
Yannick Bérubé is just a nice guy who falls off his bike on the wrong street. Knocking on a door to try getting help he finds himself dragged into a world of kidnap, torture, insanity, murder and above all chess. He is imprisoned by Jacques Beaulieu who prides himself on his unbeaten run as chess champion. Jacques has a secret though, and that is he’s a killer.

While he was bycicling in a residential neighbourhood, Yannick falls of his bike.

According to the newspaper La Presse, the horror novel Aliss might come to the big screen. Its director might be none other than Patrick Senécal, the author of the novel.
In fact, Senécal, who is described as Quebec's Stephen King, said it at Val-d'Or during the 34th Book Fair of Abitibi-Témiscamingue. Besides, Cirrus Communications, owns the cinematographic adaptation rights on the novel and no budget has been devoted for Aliss yet.
The novel was originally published in Quebec in 2000. It follows Alice, a 18-year-old girl. She lives with her parents in Brossard, a suburb of Montreal. Obviously, she decides to quit college, live on her own and move to the city where all dreams come true: Montreal. However, after an odd encounter in Montreal's subway, Alice crashes in a neighbourhood that, in actuality, doesn't exist. Besides, the inhabitants of this neighbourhood are extremely bizarre.
For those who haven't read the novel,...

Don't miscontrue my words: I'm a total fan of Patrick Senécal's novels and I own all of them. However, the mention of Éric Tessier, the director who slaughtered Sur le seuil, in the credit left me icy. Honestly, 5150, Rue des Ormes sure has its strong moments, but it remains an entertaining film at most.
