After our jarring introduction to the apparent end of the story, there follows a series of video interviews with the various characters who make up the troupe.

This is filmed as if the audience is watching these interview clips on an old TV set.

On one side of the TV set are a pile of videos including Dario Argentos seminal Suspiria, Pasolinis infamous Salo and Lucio Fulcis Zombie Flesh Eaters, not-very-subtly hinting at events to come.

While the talent on display is certainly impressive, more than one of the cast apparently possessing double-joints of various sorts, this is followed by the camera cutting between various conversations going on in the room that range from boring to cringe-inducing to uncomfortable.

There is then another dance scene that lasts nearly 10 minutes.

Finally, at almost exactly the halfway mark, the cast and director are introduced in a series of on-screen credits, their names flashing up in a series of different fonts and colours.

When the night begins to unravel into violence, what little horror there is on show is brief and uninspired.

At one point there is screaming coming from somewhere off screen, but instead the director chooses to focus on the struggles of lead character Selva (Sofia Boutella) who appears to have somehow got her hands caught inside her tights and is freaking out about it.

The violence (what little there is) uninteresting and, for some reason, the final 20 minutes or so of the film are shot upside down.

Every scene is drenched in red, bodies writhing on the ground in various stages of undress and fornication while the camera swoops and pans and zooms in and out like the cameraman is trying to film while suspended from a bungee cable.

No attempts to shoehorn in some deeper meaning by occasionally flashing up pithy phrases between segments like: Death is an extraordinary experience which just ring hollow and empty.

It is a pointless waste of time and an insult to any audience that sits down to watch it.

It has nothing to say, no deep insights into the human psyche, no revelations about what motivates a person to do what they do, nor on the sacrifices they will make to achieve their goals.
