My rating - 6.5/10

5 youths flee Paris after stealing money during political riots. After arriving at a small hostel they think they're going to be able to rest safely only to find themselves at the mercy of a violent group of neo nazis that run it.

This movie is part of the new wave of French extreme movies along with films like Martyrs, Inside and High Tension, and while it may be one of the lesser talked about ones it's still a brutal, violent and gory film that'll definitely upset those with weaker stomachs. The acting is fine for the most part and it's well made. The gore effects are also good and we get a load of narly deaths including one poor sod getting his head blown apart with a shotgun blast.

It doesn't have the most original story and you'll probably have seen this sort of thing done before, but it keeps things moving along nicely. It's not one of my favourite of the French extreme movies but It's far from the worst thing you'll see. If you like grubby, nastly little films then this one is worth seeking out.
