...That could (unfortunately) be the short version of horror movies lovers' story.
We anticipate it, we read about it, we watch it (and we usually regret it).
It was no different with this one. So many comments were written about how "funny" this one was, so "different and refreshing", they got me moderately hooked and interested in watching it in a movie theater... Well, it's not.
This is an uninspired piece of work, from the script to the tone and pace. Everything in this story seems to have been put together with scotch tape and paper clips: unrelatable characters wandering about in a pointless narrative, sprinkled with (not so "funny") gruesome deaths.
Quite a waste of time.
Only recommended as an absolute first horror movie, if you don't have anything to compare it to.

This whole movie feels like a sketch drawing of something that was never finished.
It has the characters, a premise, a couple of key moments, but in the end there is no real thread connecting the dots.
Which is a shame, because the acting is fine, the cinematography is enjoyable and all the necessary ingredients would be there to be developed. But it's the development that falls flat.
And it becomes bluntly true by the end of the movie, when a certain approach to the story's closure is proposed but in the exact way we saw every other topic be scarcely presented to us, with no solid coherence with all the rest... It's really a shame but please move along, nothing memorable here to see.

It's true that, 25 years ago, Cube went down in history, because it presented an innovative and provocative proposal, but also a very coherent one.
Since then, many have tried to explore the vein, some succeeding, others not. And Méandre is in this latter category.
It's very revealing when you try to liven up the interest of a dish by brutally loading the spices thrown into the pan. In this case, the use of claustrophobic paths, the against-the-clock threats, path antagonists and even cheap sentimentality, reveal the central irrelevance of a plot that does not employ any quality resources to capture the viewer.
The protagonist has to go through a ridiculous route, a kind of timed Saw challenge designed by an idiot, with Squid Game obstacles for crippled competitors, in an supposedly oppressive environment between Buried and the Austrian mountains of Sound of Music.
...And, in the end, nothing that happened before makes any kind of sense.
The End.
