WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: This is a weird, beautiful, hideous French horror movie about a dance troupe having their last rehearsal before a big performance, in a warehouse somewhere surrounded by snow. Everything is wonderful...that is, until someone spikes the sangria with hallucinogens. Once that starts kicking in, modern dance turns into something resembling a mythic bacchanal. Some dancers get violent, some get lustful, some try to hide, and some keep dancing to the point of damaging their bodies. Consider yourself warned for, well, everything that could possibly go wrong when a crowd of volatile people are powerfully drugged (including the death of a child), but it's a lot more psychological than gory (though there is gore!) It's an experience like no other, and shows you how terrifying the Maenads must have actually been.
WHERE CAN I FIND IT (optional): Amazon Prime, Hulu or Showtime for free, most other streaming services for 2.99 or 3.99
