Aroview: Before he made the lighter 8 WOMEN, dir. Ozon established his credentials with this twisted wee horror, which fearlessly ventures into sadistic and cannibalistic territory.

Taking the form of a dark, psychosexual 'fairy-tale' in which two teenagers successfully murder a classmate. However, when it comes to disposing of the body they find themselves literally "lost in the woods" and in deep peril at the hands of a menacing hermit.
