Trivia

The idea for the story came to director Abner Pastoll in summer 2001 while traveling in France, when he was staying in a "creepy mansion." It wasn't until late 2008 that he finally started developing it into a feature screenplay, which was completed in 2011. It took a further 3 years for financing and casting before filming began on July 20, 2014 - almost 13 years to the day he originally thought about the idea.

Goofs

The tape over Grizard's mouth has been redone for the final post-credits scene, much more nicely than Veronique originally applied it.

Crazy Credits

There is an additional scene after the end credits.

User Reviews

B-movie at best

What the heck was Andrew Simpson thinking when he accepted to play in this B-movie ? Same time, thank god he's in, otherwise these Road games would have been totally unwatchable ! The story itself is interesting, but both directing and acting are terrible and make no sense at all. And there is a huge problem with Josephine de la Baume : You can't hear anything she says, she whispers all along, so French ! Don't waste your time even if non precious with this B-movie ! Hitch must be turning in his grave. I agree with Toecutter0 : the score will settle there after a few weeks, perhaps a month after other, older viewers log in and cast their votes, scoring this title more fairly across the entire age spectrum. Watch those scores!
