1/10
Phony, dumb, not scary in the least

This piece of trash is a Rob-Zombie-Wannabe, poorly made, poorly shot, terribly stupid movie. They tried SO hard to make this subversive, dark, spooky and special, and do not accomplish any of it. The acting is so bad. There are so many scenes where the writers try to get away with bad writing and not knowing how to end a dialogue, so they make everyone just start laughing. It is baffling how much dumb laughing at people occurs in this movie, for something that is supposed to be a horror. They also tried way to hard with the soundtrack. The "twist" at the end is stupid, and everything before it is even stupider. Did you know that cool kids throw raves in underground catacombs in Paris? Because it's so avant-garde and cool, they have to move every single night, which makes the fact that their raves are fully powered, with surround sound and first rate lighting, as well as a backlit bar, fully stocked with premium spirits, simply amazing. Did you also know that the coolest kids at those parties go skiny-dipping in the crystal clear waters beneath Paris? Do the makers of this film know what catacombs are? They are decaying gravesites, which stink of death, and emit infectious pathogens. And any liquid beneath the city is sewage. Those disgusting kids are partying by breathing in the remains of the people who died of the plague, and swimming in the sewage of Parisians. Not cool and dark. Just stupid and gross. Skip this garbage movie.
