Synopsis

In Paris, during the riots due to the election of a conservative candidate to the presidency of France, a group of four Muslin small-time criminal teenagers from the periphery; Alex, Tom, Farid, the pregnant Yasmine, and her brother Sami, plan to run away from Paris to Amsterdam with a bag full of robbed money. However, Sami is shot and the group split up, with Alex and Yasmine going to the emergency hospital with Sami while Tom and Farid head to the border with the money. Tom and Farid decide to stop in a bed and breakfast nearby the frontier, and are hosted by Gilberte and Klaudia that offer free room and sex to the newcomers. They call Alex and Yasmine who are fleeing from Paris to join them in the inn. But soon they discover that their hosts are sadistic cannibals of a Nazi family leaded by the deranged patriarch and former SS officer and Nazi war criminal Le Von Geisler who plans to make Yasmine the brood mare for a new Aryan master race. –IMDb

Complete and utter hackneyed generic tripe directed by what I can only surmise is an uneducated methed-out teenager who watched too many music videos from the 90s, masturbates to Eli Roth's body of work, and fell asleep at the keyboard when turning up the dials in After Effects. The characters are completely unsympathetic imbeciles played by screeching meatheads/harpies who's acting is ripped from the pages of WWE.
