French directors Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury are already well known names in horror circles. Their first film, Inside from 2007, is thought of by many horror fans to be the best example of the genre released in the last few years. It is after all a film which retains the power to shock when so many other directors are content to rely on cheap jump scares and the increasingly tired found footage format.
Their follow-up Livid is different enough to show that Bustillo and Maury are no one trick ponies and have a great deal of talent to back up the hype. If there is any justice Livid should be the film to break them out to a wider audience.

This is the second feature film from the writing/directing team of Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury, whose first outing was 2007′s Inside. Bustillo and Maury appeared to have started with an interesting idea, but somewhere along the path of production lost their focus, perhaps distracted by their own visions, which make numerous cameos that feel more like party crashers than official invitees.
Livid begins as a story about a teenager named Lucy (Chloe Coulloud) who is training as an in-house caregiver. She travels from house to house with her trainer Mrs. Wilson (Catherine Jacob). The last house of the day is a large mansion owned by Miss Jessel (Maria-Claude Pietragalla), a...
