Description

Eva, an ex-dancer, is now living in a wheelchair, unable to walk. When her friend Sophie gives her an old wooden antique advent calendar before Christmas, she realizes each window contains a surprise that triggers repercussions in real life: some of them good, but most of them bad... Now Eva will have to choose between getting rid of the calendar or walking again… even if it causes death around her.

It's a very good movie. It looks like a Wish box.
It's a pity that the ending is in the style of " The beginning"

European films are usually too European for me. "The Devil's Calendar" too. Not smooth enough. Emotionally difficult. In general, I watch horror movies so as not to watch dramas, and here it is unknown what is more. Eva lived in a VERY real world. She herself is not sugar, but she was surrounded by just selected assholes, everywhere, in all spheres of life, and all this was vividly felt.
But still I liked the movie. Especially the ending. I liked her new boyfriend (more than the previous one), and I would, of course, be glad if she threw out the candy, but it's enough that we weren't shown that she ate it. And everyone can choose an option for themselves. In general, I don't like open endings, but they made it cool here.

For horror, quite a good plot, although not particularly surprising, much is easily predicted. However, consistency and thoughtfulness are still impressive, although logic is sometimes lost, to put it mildly and without a mat. But it does not infuriate or upset at all, it looks quite easy.

Considering that this is France, I expected complete chaos and absurdity in such a plot. Perhaps that's why I was pleased to some extent.

The movie is beautiful. However, sometimes I lost the thread due to the movements of the main character. The ending remained a mystery to me, but it was done perfectly.

It's been a long time since I've watched films with this genre. Although the rating of this film is small, but I still liked it.
I liked the unpredictable plot, there are exciting moments. For the sake of your goal, is it possible to "go over the heads of" close and dear people? It will be a difficult choice for the main character. But regardless of her choice, the baton is passed to another.
The plot is not yet worn out to the holes, perhaps that was why it was interesting to watch it.
I liked the game of the main character, although I don't remember her from other films.
The movie is budget-friendly, you won't see any special effects, it won't be scary to goosebumps. In this regard, he is weak.
The ending of the film is not certain, there may be a sequel. In general, the viewer is invited to " choose " his final.
Fans of this genre can watch this movie.

An interesting plot. An unusual ending where you decide for yourself how it ended.
