Let me start off by saying that I kind of enjoyed this movie. However . . .
It's a total mess. A mountain of things happen that you, as the viewer, are supposed to take in and remember later as events unfold.
Scary mansion, older folk and mannequins are all in abundance. What isn't, is any sense of a linear plot after the first 40 minutes.
Watch it if you're drunk, speak French, or enjoy worrying about the dialogue flipping between English and subtitled French.

One for backpackers, I guess?
Slow Games (2015)
A very slow thriller-horror (which to be fair is sort of the norm these days for the genre).
But that said it's not terrible; it's really nicely shot with rich colors of the French countryside, the acting is good enough to keep the interest going and the ending is pretty good.
I find it funny how some reviewers complain that too many parts are in French, like really?
Complaining about it being too many French-speaking parts in a movie set in France is like complaining about the water being too wet.
But I guess they either don't know how to read or how to put on the subtitles, which says more about them than it does this movie.
Anyway like I was saying, a movie with a bunch of positives but that still falls just a bit short with some unfulfilled potential; the script could have done with some improvement.
That said I wouldn't recommend anyone against watching it, unless they are looking for a fast-paced thriller I guess which this is not.
