The premise

For the Olympique de Paris soccer team, this away match scheduled against Caplongue was merely supposed to be one last chore before the end of the professional season. Yet no one could ever have imagined that an unknown rabies-like infection was going to spread like wildfire, turning this small town’s inhabitants into ultra-violent and highly contagious creatures.

Horror Vault's take

A professional Parisian soccer squad travels to the sleepy backwater town of Caplongue for what should be a routine end-of-season fixture — only to find the locals in the grip of a terrifying rabies-like plague that turns victims into savage, highly contagious creatures. What begins as a forgettable away game quickly spirals into a desperate fight for survival against an ever-growing horde of infected townspeople. This French horror-comedy mines the absurdity of the beautiful game colliding with full-blown zombie chaos for bloody, crowd-pleasing results.
