Summary: Takes place in 1995, the year of the second referendum on the separation of Quebec. In the dead of winter, a serial killer is on the loose in the small Montreal neighborhood of Notre Dame de Grace. The tenants of an old apartment house must figure out who they can trust and who they can't.
A surprising, strange, and intense film. I found myself impressed with this film because it isn't too flashy, but manages to create a disturbing character study that slowly peels back layers of how dark a few seemingly normal people can get.
The film sets us up with three neighbors. Theres a serial killer on the loose and the general implication is that it's one of them. The problem with giving us three protagonists who could believably be serial killers is that we won't be very likely to like or connect with any of them. Who cares which one it ends up being when I wouldn't be surprised to find a body under any of their floorboards? Still, Jay Baruchel does good here and even though it's occasionally boring it's never bad.
"The tone of the film is off-key from the beginning, a fact that's not helped by the presence of Speedman, onetime Felicity heartthrob." - Paul Schrodt
A so-so thriller with not a single fresh element to it (save, perhaps, the rape scene following one of the murders). The performances are serviceable and somehow the film is always watchable, in spite of the tired plot.
