A down-market slasher thriller from France about a serial killer who leaves a calling card - a little toy car - next to the bodies of her victims. Her motive is revenge, and there's an old American car involved - an Edsel - and most of the people she kills she shoots, except the one who gets impaled with a pitchfork. Also, most of the female characters end up in a state of not having very much on. The first ten minutes are the best - a nightmare that begins in a scrapyard and shifts to an amusement park - but then the plot thickens, as much as there is one, which slows things down. Cool, laconic performance by Tiki Tsang as the killer. Effective, low-key support from the Edsel.
