Directors Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury's LIVID opens with a foreboding credits sequence featuring funereal imagery, as well as an ominously abandoned car.
We are then introduced to Lucie (Chloe Coulloud), who is going through the daily routine of her job as a nurse's (Catherine Jacob) aide. Their last stop is an enormous, remote mansion, where an ancient woman lies dying in bed. When the nurse tells Lucie that the old woman has a treasure hidden in the house, Lucie tells her impulsive boyfriend and his brother.
The resulting plan is simple. Its execution is not.
The Directors have created a wonderfully disturbing, supernatural horror film. It's pretty obvious early on that things are heading in a dark and sinister direction, but the story twists in bizarre, unexpected ways. This is a ghost story, as well as a vampire tale. The use of flashbacks is effective in fleshing it out.
