Saint Ange (2004)

Classic horror with a bonus
No, it is not a slasher movie. The story is similar to the After Dark film Wicked Little Things, without the blood. It is classic horror with creaky pipes, and strange happenings, and the fact that you are never really sure if something is happening or if it is just in your imagination.
The main attraction is, of course, Virginie Ledoyen (8 Women), who gives us the extreme pleasure of examining every inch of her French beauty. She is the woman who was beaten and presumably raped by her former employers and comes to this remote orphanage that is shutting down.
She enlists the aid of Lou Doillon, another French beauty (even appears in the documentary French Beauty), to find out what happened 15 years ago. See, the story is similar to Wicked Little Things, as the prior inhabitants are still hanging around - or, are they? You are never really sure until the end, and even then...
A first feature film for writer/director Pascal Laugier makes one look forward to his second, Martyrs, this year.
