Sunday Safe Bet

Why it’s a Sunday Safe Bet

Critics loved it (96% on Rotten Tomatoes), though it had almost no lasting buzz and a lukewarm 6.0 out of 10 from audiences. A safe bet when you want something reliable.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing, anyone who wants a laugh and fantasy fans. If you loved Sorry to Bother You or Dream Scenario, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood: Light and funny, tense.
The pace: Breezy, at 1 hr 14 min.
What might put you off: It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

Alain and Marie moved to the suburb house of their dreams. But the real estate agent warned them: what is in the basement may well change their lives forever.
