Vacances mortelles

First of all, I think that the director never set foot in France before shooting this film because he accumulates stupid clichés. I burst out laughing when the couple's daughter looks at the postcards for sale at the campsite and there is one representing Queen Marie-Antoinette! What a joke! And then of course, there is a 2 CV (a very rare car in France contrary to the old cliché dating from the 60s) in a gas station whose manager speaks with a false southern accent, a "French" surfer who speaks with a Quebec accent (lol)... The rest is just as grotesque. The characters act without any logic and are all perfectly stupid. This film would be a real masterpiece if all this were done on purpose to turn it into a comedy entitled: « Morons unleashed in south of France can't use their cell phones to call the cops ». Unfortunately, it's not.

It is a good one! I liked the way it was shot and how the story was told. It is a good entertainment.

As someone else mentioned, it was probably on a tight budget but it was still quite good

An engaging example of the genre of TV drama/thriller. The Alders with their 2 children are on a camping holiday in France and befriend a slightly odd couple at a camp site who then keep appearing everywhere they go. The odd couple's son apparently goes missing and the Alders start trying to avoid the odd couple. Events take a creepy turn . . .

Without giving the plot away, all I would say is that this was a well acted and quite gripping drama and much more original than a lot of the 2 parters that are seen on ITV these days.

There are a couple of minor 'she/he would never have done that' moments but if you are prepared to engage with the suspension of disbelief then they aren't so major as to spoil the viewer's enjoyment.

Bon Voyage is a very well made two part drama. It starts off at a fairly slow pace, but transforms into something much darker, the threat that is posed turning out to be much more menacing than first anticipated.

As it progresses, things begin to make sense, you kind of put the pieces together as you go along. There are times when you truly need to suspend all sense of reality, as a few things happen, which in all reality would never happen in a million years. A few things could have been expanded on, and perhaps explained a little better, but on the whole the story is very engaging, loaded with tension, and a few good scares.

It's well produced, and very well acted, Daniel Ryan is the standout performer here though, he's great value, as is Faye Ripley, who's very good also.

Don't expect reality, and you could really enjoy this gripping two parter, take it too seriously and you'll pick holes the whole way through it.

Overall, I enjoyed it, 8/10
