Chalk this up as something we could be keeping an eye on. Attempts to contact the trio of production companies in Zurich, Luxembourg and France have proven to be fruitless in these last 24 hours so I'll offer up what we know right now. French actors Lorànt Deutsch, Dominique Pinon [Dante 01, City of Lost Children and Delicatessen], Philippe Nahon [Haute Tension and Brotherhood of the Wolf] and Sara Forestier [Perfume: The Story of a Murderer] star in the film. This will be the debut film by Pierre-Olivier Thévenin and Jacques-Olivier Molon. Pierre-Olivier and Jacques-Olivier chiseled their jibs as makeup effects men on Twitch favorites like Inside and Blade II [well, Inside at least I can't speak for everyone else about Blade II]. So we can be sure at least there will be very good effects in film. Just how bloody they will get with them we'll have to see. What is it with French directing duos by the way? Its like the Mormon approach to film making or something.
A team of several researchers travel to the Swiss Alps to investigate a scientific discovery on human evolution. A family of tourists who have come to take part in the famous carnival. The trip, however, turns into a deadly fight for survival when everyone crashes into a gully and find themselves falling prey to someone...or something.
Up until now the only details about the characters in the film were that it was only a team of researchers. The family of tourists is a new detail. And how about that poster? Our mates over at BloodyDisgusting had this up a couple weeks ago. Look at is closely. Your eyes focus on the woman and the torch but follow the cave down the side et voila! Not so much a cave but a face! Speculation abounds about what the terror could be but I'm thinking the same antagonist elements like in Michael Crichton's novel Eaters of the Dead, not so much the film The 13th Warrior.
Are we the only humans on earth?
Sounds more like The Descent to me.
Yes yes, everyone keeps saying...
