Sheitan (2006). Pretty witty little French flick that threatens to turn nasty at ever corner. The acting was fine, and the characters were a great trio of boorish thugs, potential sluts/teases, and creepy creepies. When things get going they get weird, with the central creep really got my skin crawling. The disconcerting feeling it generates is almost on par with Calvaire and Frontiers, only that it spends more actually generating this icky feeling, like a smoldering fire that may erupt at any time. Some things are just wrong, and this film seems attracted to such things like a moth to a flame. The ending, while not at all what i expected, was actually good in its own way. All in all i really liked it. Ashe.
