France, 2014. To solve a problem of prison overcrowding, the new totalitarian government announced that openly supports the production of a new reality TV program. In this show, 8 death row inmates are selected and locked in a factory disused military experiments and infested with mutant zombies. Will have to find out within 2 hours only the last survivor may leave the building, winning the game and regain his freedom ... From France comes this short ( quite long, certainly ) which, like other films such as the infamous Pursued (1987) or excellent Battle royale (2000) , us a future (the closest thing ) rather bleak and in which the protagonists are destined for a televised game for survival. After a start that is very similar to Saw (2004) ( the original, nothing to do with the horrific aftermath ), Vincent Lecrocq immerses us in a macabre sort of reality show in which participants must escape the zombies ( here called "tenants" ) and even themselves to survive. With its generous dose of blood and good performances, " survivant (s)" is another example of what the French are plugged in this genus. The film is structured as if the TV itself, with a host that even scarier than zombies, recounting the misadventures of fearless competitors ( good, it feels like to see certain Current hosts the likes of Jorge Javier Vázquez ). Here the director reflects the near future certainly pessimistic, like the general tone of the short, with a France ruled by the extreme right ( disguised criticism of Sarkozy and current immigration policies ), dedicated to all types of the less reprehensible political efforts. The film has now achieved enough in terms of tension and terror, but what is really tired of handling the camera, with intent to cause nervousness, moves steadily to the point of beating around the eye. Moreover, this technique ( perfected nothing here) is more than revised, especially zombie movies. Despite this, I think a good short, serious and professional look that helps feed the abundant pool of young directors who come from the Gallic country very hard. Although not as much as ours to continue to enjoy more horrors French.
