Those scary French...

Creepy, creepy, creepy! Harry is a stranger who positively glues himself to a vacationing couple in the French countryside... it's a simple and conniving plot that will make you nervous throughout. The film's only drawback is that it takes too long to get to the good stuff.

Richard Propes' Comment

The film won four Cesar Awards and a BAFTA, but was pretty much an afterthought here in the USA. Why does it seem like Americans always want to convince themselves they're the best at everything? We simply don't make the best suspense or horror films, and films like this one prove it. Seigner is hypnotic here, and the film's anxiety level is consistent and tiring. I'd have to agree that the film does have a few pacing issues, including an over-intellectualization that drags out getting to the "good stuff." I'd still recommend this film for a rental. It's a French language film with English subtitles.
