AKA: Aux Yeux des Vivants

Plot – Spoilers:
A soldier has been exposed to a chemical that’s messed with his genes – not a comforting thought for his wife who’s heavily pregnant.
In another track, three friends who are often in trouble at school decide to explore Blackwoods, an abandoned studio. They find a gagged woman in the boot of a car and soon run into her captor.
Among the Living isn’t among Maury & Bustillo’s best, but there’s probably enough of their style and violence to satisfy fans.
I LIKE FRENCH HORROR (TORTURE) MOVIES VERY MUCH – MERCI.
I NOTICE YOUR UPDATES FOR NEW MOVIES ARE FASTER. I LIKE IT 🙂
GOD BLESS YOU.

Thanks admin
I was trying to get hold of this one with my eyes for ages, thanks
Thanks a ton admins! Always appreciated:)
I’ve been desiring to see this film for a while now bc I’m a fan of this pair of directors previous works, Inside, and Livid (Livid was actually my favorite they did, and still is honestly, bc it was laden w homages to Argento, plus I’m a sucker for gothic fairy tales), and while this wasn’t quite up to their aforementioned previous films, it was still a good film nonetheless.
Thought the violence seemed toned down a bit, till the cop got the blade to the face! Minus a point for not being taboo and not showing the kids getting killed, plus a point for being taboo and showing the antagonist was a hermaphrodite, lol.
Overall a fun watch, and somewhat suspenseful, I’ll give it a 7/10. Can’t wait for this duo’s next films, Kandisha, followed by The Deep House, to release!
What a boring movie….
Thank you EUM for this great thriller. I really enjoyed it. Great suspense and good acting throughout. Not a lot of gore but a lot of gore does not neccessarily make a great film. I rate it 8/ 10.
Poor Clarence
Please watch this movie, it’s so good, totally stranger things vibes
Nothing but a bunch of jump scares
Pretty decent movie. Not any of this, “woke” Hollywood SJW bullshit that I’m so sick and tired of. So glad I found this website. you got some real gems on here.
trash
A prudent film, the substantial montage of idealogues was congenial. Dalle was gratifying in this, akin and indelible to her performance in INSIDE.
Exquisitely orchestrated <3
TOTALLY ENTERTAINING… LOVED IT. THANKS AGAIN EFFEDUP
I’ve been trying to remember the name of this movie for ages, because I hadn’t seen it since it first came out. Thank you, EUM!
Bit of a weaker horror movie, no? Nice boobies, nevertheless.
Any chance of getting the Director’s Cut of this?
The tension and terror of these Directors’ earlier film (‘Inside’ – on this website and a film I would recommend) is replaced in this film by jump scares, and the plot of this film is nothing unique. It has a few nice set pieces but nothing else. Hence the score: 2.5/5 fireworks
Great Movie!!
