Plot

When the disappearance of children and bloody murders multiply in a small mountain village, an old legend shrouded in sulphur reappears... Commander Guardiano and Captain of the Gendarmerie De Rolan are forced to join forces to uncover the truth.

Sinekatalog’s take

Strange murders and vanishing children bring two lawmen together in a remote mountain village haunted by an old legend. The setting is atmospheric and the folk-horror tone effective, though the plot leans on familiar police-thriller beats. A decent pick for fans of moody French genre cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
