The premise of this film is benign enough. It's a hot day, Michel, Claire and their three girls are off to their holiday house for a break. The car is not airconditioned, the kids are getting ratty and Michel and Claire have had just about enough. They pull into a petrol station and Michel bumps into an old high school friend, Harry and his girlfriend, Plum. Harry sees how frustrated Michel and Claire are and offers to drive them to their holiday house. The offer is taken up and Harry enters their lives.
The film takes a little while to establish the backgrounds, but once that is achieved it rolls merrily along its dark path. Harry's motto "is help out where ever possible" and he does it all with a smile. It's a wonderfully executed film, once you get comfortable you're jolted out of the comfort zone. It's a spine chilling tale.
