AroView: An imaginative, atmospheric low-budget French horror, set around the discovery of a dusty book of supernatural spells by four convicts in their prison cell.

Attempting to create a way out of confinement proves a mixed blessing, the story taking on impressive echoes of the occult worlds of H P Lovecraft. Intensely acted, with generous dollops of ultra-violence, this is a must for lovers of classic horror.
