The premise
When a dance troupe is lured to an empty school, a bowl of drug-laced sangria causes their jubilant rehearsal to descend into a dark and explosive nightmare as they try to survive the night—and find who's responsible—before it's too late.
Horror Vault's take
A talented dance troupe gathers in an isolated school building for a celebratory rehearsal, but when their sangria turns out to be laced with LSD, euphoria curdles into collective madness. Gaspar Noé plunges his camera into a neon-drenched spiral of paranoia, violence, and primal terror as the dancers turn on one another and on themselves. What begins as a showcase of extraordinary movement becomes a feature-length descent into hell — relentlessly choreographed, punishingly loud, and nearly impossible to look away from.
