Hoping to prepare for their college exams in peace and quiet, they decide to spend a weekend in the country at Alexia's parents' secluded farmhouse. But in the dead of night, a stranger knocks on the front door. And with the first swing of his knife, the girls idyllic weekend turns into an endless night of terror...
The French horror cinema was never quite the same after this film, nor the team Aja/Lévasseur that went to Hollywood never to come back. Attention to the work of Gianetto de Rossi, goremeister behind Lucio Fulci’s classics.
