Brief synopsis

Random strangers have suddenly started attacking Vincent with murderous intent, whenever they make eye contact. At first, he tries to continue about his daily business, but as things spiral violently out of control, Vincent is forced to flee and change his life completely… A nerve-shredding, ground-breaking movie riding the new wave of French horror.
