Where have you been,Anastasia?

Do not let the title fool you.Even if there're murders in this movie,it's not that bloody.Actually,the film reminds me of one of Lautner's best films "La Maison Assassinée" (1988) .Unfortunately ,Nicolas Guillou's screenplay is rather weak and the lines particularly mediocre.

"La Maison Assassinée" continued an old French tradition :the "rural "thriller ,which included such memorable works as "L'Assassinat Du Père Noel" (1941) ,"Goupi Mains Rouges" (1942) or "La Ferme des Sept Péchés" (1949.There was a revival of the genre ,in the early seventies ,with a more "realistic" approach :"La Horse" "La Veuve Couderc"....

"Terre de Sang" would rather be part of the early forties works with its "mysterious " atmosphere and its gallery of weirdos ;"Maison Assassinée" brilliantly succeeded in this vein.

"Terre de Sand " does not: it is a patchy inconsistent work ,in spite of good actors we rarely see nowadays:Dominique Paturel was famous in the late sixties for playing D'Artagnan in the eponymous miniseries;Ginette Garcin would have been ideally cast too,had she been given decent material.

A woman and her daughter died in a fire....Twenty years later ,a young woman comes back to the village ,pretending she is the late child... It was a good idea,but it does not work.
