Logan D @Greynomad38 Jul 19, 2026 A bunch of 20 year old kids decide to rob a comatose elderly woman. Did you hear the doors lock? A dark, twisted fairy tale from the directors of Inside, a 2007 film that I regard as one of the best body horror films I've ever seen. I've viewed two other films by these directors and they didn't maintain that quality. And this film continues that impression on me. I almost gave up on this film. It spends much to long setting up a simple premise. The exposition could've been much shorter and achieved thru periodic flashbacks. Visually, it's masterpiece of hand-crafted sets and atmosphere (at least, once it gets moving). But the narrative is too fragmented and there's little logic behind the supernatural elements.

I thought it got better when the characters started planning on breaking too a comatose rich ladies home. I wasn't feeling the vampire angle and mentally checked out before the movie ended.

Does it sound familiar?

They visit several elderly patients together and Lucie shows skills to handle them. On their last visit, Catherine asks Lucie to stay in the car since her patient is very complex. However, Lucie decides to snoop around the real estate and stumbles upon a derelict mansion. She enters the house and finds Catherine with a very old woman in a room on the last floor. Catherine tells Lucie that the woman, Mrs. Deborah Jessel (Marie-Claude Pietragalla), was a former wealthy ballerina and dance teacher, and now has a cerebral coma. Her only sister Anna (Chloé Marcq) died many years ago. Further, Catherine says that there is an urban legend that Mrs. Jessel has a hidden treasure in the house. At the end of the working day, Lucie meets her boyfriend William (Félix Moati) in a pub and tells him how her day was. When she mentions the hidden treasure, he calls his brother Ben (Jérémy Kapone) and plots to break into the mansion to search for the jewels and gold during Halloween night. Lucie is reluctant to go with them, but after a problem with her father, she decides to join them. They break into the mansion and soon their theft turns into a nightmarish night. “Livide”, a.k.a. “Livid” (2011), is a creepy and atmospheric French vampire movie with senseless ending. The plot has an excellent beginning, with magnificent cinematography and performances. The moment there is the flashback showing the relationship between Deborah Jessel and her daughter Anna, it becomes a little confusing. But when there is the switch of souls between Anna and Lucie, it becomes senseless until the last scene. The relationship of the caregiver Catherine Wilson with Deborah Jessel is never clear. Why does she supply human blood to the vampire? With a better conclusion, this movie could have become a masterpiece of the horror genre. My vote is six.
