Synopsis
On Christmas Eve, a group of friends are led by Eve, a mysterious and attractive girl (Roxane Mesquida) who they met at the Styxx Club (in Paris), to her house in the countryside. There, they are introduced to the eccentric housekeeper Joseph, who comes across as a slightly dim-witted and eccentric farmer. Slowly, the visitors discover that Joseph is a devil worshipper, and he has something sinister planned for them.

Ratings and Controversy
When released, the movie was given an "Interdit aux moins de 16 ans" (16+) rating in France due to its inconsistent yet occasionally shocking scenes involving sex (with full nudity), violence, with some sudden shocking gruesome and disturbing images, particularly during the final 10 minutes. The movie was not rated by the MPAA, but would have most likely been a strong R, perhaps even an NC-17. It was released as "unrated" instead.
