Review #12 of My Horrible Collection: Shocktober list.

I once got 25 movies for 15 euros on a flea market. This was right in that pack. I knew nothing about it, except that it was french. So I never really felt the urge to watch it. Nothing drew me to it.

So now for my most recent list I decided to watch it. And I actually really enjoyed it.

It's about a group of friends (and the one girls new boyfriend) going on a climbing tour in Croatia, when shit goes down.

At first we get a few great climbing scenes. I really wanted to go climbing as well. It is really well shot, could have been just a climbing documentary.

But then, as we are used to by this genre, from one second to the other everything changes drastically, and that's when it get's really interesting. And it happened at just the right time, I actually wouldn't have minded some more climbing action, but it didn't feel too long.

I won't spoil the movie, but I really enjoyed it. It's not totally original, but it's not annoyingly standard.

I'm rating this movie 3.5 out of 5 stars and giving it a like.
