combines a unique spin on the vampire myth with the fairytale surrealism of Lewis Carroll (via Svankmajer's Alice), the danse macabre of Copplia (via Argento's Suspiria) and the imagistic poetry of Franju's Eyes Without a Face.

B+

Its internal logic eluded me on first viewing, but Maury and Bustillo compensate with the go-for-broke savagery and viscera that's come to define new French horror.

3.5/5

A fun, creepy tale that echoes Argento's Suspiria.

4/5

Horror can be very effective when it makes the unlikely horrific, and that's often one of Livid's best features.

Livid tarts up a grab-bag of supernatural/kids-in-peril B-movie clichs with an arty pretension that grates.

No one faults a spook house for lacking a strong narrative -- we want chills and thrills and an excess of horror imagery that borders on gaudy. In that way, Livid completely delivers.

Wasn't creepy or scary, and no jump scares, so wasn't my cup of tea.

What is the point of trying to make heads or tails of anything here or even looking for any sense if it is clear that the directors are only thinking about aesthetics and creating gorgeous set pieces? Besides, the film is completely unscary and just a pile of ridiculous clichés.

This movie had so much potential. It creates an eerie and dark atmosphere perfectly, filling the viewer with dread. You get sucked in by the monsters and the unexpected characters. And then...the end. The end is the worst ending I have ever seen in a horror film, maybe second to The Mist. I have no idea why they went in that direction after being so incredibly successful in the first half. An absolute shame.

They give a brief explanation and then, when you less expect it they throw at you a bomb of information, and that's how it needs to be.
