Livid
Stars: Chloé Coulloud, Félix Moati, Jérémy Kapone | Written and Directed by Alexandre Bustillo, Julien Maury
The final film in the Biff: Bradford After Dark line up you would hope for something special, and in Livid we got it. With an introduction from Julien Maury one of the directors and writers of the film there was a certain expectation of this film, especially after their first film Inside which is one of the most intense films you are ever likely to see.
French horror has the uniqueness of being quite hard-core and violent with films such as Martyrs and Switchblade Romance/Haute Tension, but with Maury stating they wanted to move away from that it would be interesting to see what he was presenting us with.

Lucie (Chloé Coulloud) is a young lady who takes a job training as an in-house caregiver under the tutelage of a crotchety veteran. She is introduced to an elderly woman named Mrs. Jessel, who is over 100 years old and lies in a cerebral coma in her barren home. By chance, she learns of her past as a dance instructor, and that a treasure lies in the disheveled habitat.
Along with her friends Ben (Jérémy Kapone) and William (Félix Moati), who like Lucie, are strapped for cash, they break in and enter a surreal world where the line between reality and fantasy are blurred. They are engulfed in a supernatural landscape that they can’t escape from, as they find out Mrs. Jessel’s dead daughter has crept back from beyond the grave after spending most of her afterlife in limbo and has vengeance on her mind.

Nothing thus far at Ff 2011 had revolted me as much as previous years' screenings had. Luckily, I could rely upon writer-directors Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury to right that wrong. The plot is extremely simple. During Anna's (Chloé Marcq) first day at work as a home healthcare provider, she tags along with an old pro, Wilson (Catherine Jacob). Their rounds take them to a scary old mansion in which Jessel (Marie-Claude Pietragalla) is rotting away in a coma. Wilson happens to mention that the old hag has a treasure hidden in the mansion, and Anna promptly passes that information along to William (Félix Moati) and Ben...
