Ever since the fantastic, bloody horror show that was INSIDE, we’ve been anxiously awaiting the next effort from directors Julien Maury & Alexandre Bustillo. At least, I know I have. Though they flirted briefly with Hollywood (you’ll recall that they turned down the chance to direct A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET and came very close to helming HALLOWEEN 2), the duo decided to focus their attentions on LIVID, a thriller set inside a spooky old house.

LIVID‘s official Facebook page recently updated its photo section with a few scans from a French magazine’s profile on the movie. While the pictures are on the low quality side, you’re still getting an eyeful of creeped-out imagery here.
The synopsis:
It’s young Lucy’s first day as a trainee in-house caregiver. She visits Mrs Jessel, an old woman who lies in cerebral coma, by herself, in her large desolate house. Learning by accident that Mrs Jessel, a former dance teacher of repute, supposedly possesses a treasure somewhere in the house, Lucy and friends William and Ben decide to search the house in the hope of finding it. At night, they get into the house, which reveals itself to be increasingly peculiar. Their hunt for Mrs Jessel’s treasure leads them into a horrifying supernatural series of events that will change Lucy forever…
