Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for horror fans and people who love a story set somewhere strange. A good one for when you want to be swept off somewhere else. Liked Resident Evil? This is a good next one.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 43 min.
- What might put you off
- Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.
In the summer of 1986, Halley's comet ended its race around the Earth, after 76 years of absence. As a meteorite debris disintegrates in the earth's atmosphere, Howard, Ana and Daryl, three residents of the small town of Mont-Vallée, each wish for a better life, believing to see a shooting star ... Three wishes answered literally that will generate the worst disasters in the neighborhood. And it is now armed with their only courage that our three "losers" will have to surpass themselves to repair the damage.
