I'll definitely have to check it out when my house returns to normal and I can watch my Netflix movies again.

It also had a disappointing ending, but was assuredly based on real events. The couple was found murdered. When the perpetrators were asked why they killed the couple, they said, "They wouldn't play with us." Late one night, Lucas (Michaël Cohen) and Clémentine (Olivia Bonamy) encounter strange events in their remote country home. It starts with prank calls and strange noises, but when the power is cut off and their car disappears, the terrified couple is trapped by the unseen force. Is it simply kids from the school where Clémentine teaches, or could it have something to do with a mother and daughter who mysteriously vanished the day before?

WTF!!! thats all i can say about the ending... scary yet not good... the movie itself does not have a story to follow up with… meaning u can walk in and start watching the movie without watching the lovey quiet “romatic” begining and u wouldn;t have missed anything that is relevant to the story… i do accept as a scary movie beats balls… despite the fact that once again i repeat the movie has no story it was scary somehow i jumped out off the chair a few times but at the end once again dissapointed… WTF!!! thats all i can say about the ending… scary yet not good…

Well, not the fact that they included it, but the content of the answer itself.
