This is... fine? Impressively claustrophobic in spots, but low budget, with a Nazi monster that didn't really work for me. I'd call it the less effective, French indie version of As Above, So Below (which is itself, not a classic or anything.)

I watched this with Fantastic Fest online and noticed it was hyped by Rotten Tomatoes as one of the highest-reviewed horror films of the year. That's just a side effect of it having minimal reviews. It's fine, but no great shakes.
