A fair maiden takes a job at a crotchety nursing home. Retirement home? A home for old folks! A grouchy, game playing, cryptic group. Except for Betty Bakers; lady is a boss. LIKE. A. PRO. There are strange rules at this old folks' home, namely that our fair maiden cannot leave the premises for 2 months. 2 months! 2 months of changing Depends, giving sponge baths, and cooking only veggies! That's right. These old bats are vegetarians. Or are they? DUN DUN DUN!

Fairly entertaining French horror flick-- bits of juiciness mixed in with a whole lot of Zzzz. Everything is competent; acting, direction, music. Ending is vicious and darkly comical. In fact, there is a bit of black comedy throughout the proceedings, but not all of it works. The comedy is a bit like... "Oh. That was funny. Wasn't it? No, really, wasn't it? I think it was." AHA! Not a horror film, but a thinking film!
