The Crimson Rivers
Evil rises to new heights.
Directed by Mathieu Kassovitz
Produced by Gaumont, TF1 Films Production
A dark, methodical French thriller that weaves together ritualistic murder, desecration, and demonic undertones as two detectives uncover interconnected conspiracies in a remote mountain setting.
Two French policemen, one investigating a grisly murder at a remote mountain college, the other working on the desecration of a young girl's grave by skinheads, are brought together by the clues from their respective cases. Soon after they start working together, more murders are committed, and the pair begin to discover just what dark secrets are behind the killings.
