Delicious: A wealthy German family is holidaying in the South of France, they get caught up in anti-austerity protests but feel safe in their car. Staying at a chateau as they do each year they go to a five star hotel for dinner. Some of the hotel staff notice their arrival. Driving home, the husband John (Fahri Yarim) who has had one drink too many apparently knocks down a young woman. We know that it's a set up. The wife, Esther (Valerie Pachner ) wants to cover things up and brings the woman, Teodora (Carla Diaz) back to the house to tend to her injured arm. Teodora leaves the next morning apparently content with a small pay off. But returns that evening saying that she's lost her job due to the injury and offering to work for the family. Realising there is a danger that Teodora might go to the police, John and Esther hire her as a maid. This is an unhappy family and each member is unhappy in their own manner including the son Philipp (Caspar Hoffmann) and daughter Alba (Naila Schuberth). Teodora soon gives each what they need, at least for a while but is turning them against each other in reality. This might have continued as a psychological drama, Teodora being part of a con artists ring but it does turn into a horror film. There are a few clues which might make you guess what is really going on but they are fleeting. Some of the best scenes involve members of the family meeting Teodora's pack, on the beach, on bikes. The film explores class differences, snobbery and the not so discreet lack of charm of the Bourgeoisie. A slogan often used by anti-austerity activists might well sum up this movie. Satirical and allegorical in nature at times it is nevertheless a good horror film. I can't say more about the nature of the horror without spoiling things but a feeling of existential dread builds up from the moment Teodora implants herself within the family. Good performances all round. Written and Directed by Nele Mueller-Stofen. On Netflix. 8/10.
