Promenons-nous dans les bois (2000)
Directed by Lionel Delplanque

Film Synopsis

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf..?  Evidently not the five actors who are invited to a remote country house to offer their modern interpretation of the tale Little Red Riding Hood.  The house's owner, a crippled widower named Axel de Fersen, has arranged this curious entertainment as a special birthday treat for his grandson Nicholas, who is just about the creepiest infant imaginable.  Things start out as well as can be expected, and the five budding thespians - Sophie, Matthieu, Mathilde, Jeanne and Wilfried - make a good impression on their host and his hard-to-please grandson.  Nicholas shows he is no normal child by stabbing himself with a fork during dinner.

This seemingly innocuous act of self-mutilation turns out to be frighteningly prescient, for later that night Axel is stabbed to death and his body is then mysteriously spirited away.  Sophie is the only member of the troupe who appears troubled by these events - she is desperate to get away from the house before the killer strikes again.  For some reason, her four friends appear unconcerned and are resolved to stay, not wishing to let something as inconsequential as a murder frighten them off.  With a clearly deranged killer on the premises, it might seem an odd thing to do but the friends can't resist taking a nocturnal walk in the woods.  It isn't before one of the party suddenly goes missing that they realise their lives might be in danger.  It would appear that there is something very nasty afoot.  The big bad wolf has plenty more surprises in store for them yet...
