ABOUT THE FILM An elite trio of mercenaries find themselves trapped in a mysterious region of Senegal during an extraction job and have to contend not only with supernatural enemies but also with the traumas of the recent past. Trapped at a holiday encampment, the men decide to lay low until they can escape; a task made even more difficult by the arrival of the local police captain, who seems to have his eyes on the gang, and a mysterious deaf woman who sees through the men’s ruse and blackmails them to use them as her ticket out. Jean Luc Herbulot’s magnificent mash-up of genres continues his incredibly skillful exploration of combining touchpoints of cinema to create something unique and original whilst delivering a terrific sense of culture and place. Action and mysticism combine to create set-pieces so achingly cool they hurt in their ingenuity, whilst the cast deliver stellar performances, imbuing each character with enough depth to make each seem frighteningly real. Fans of action-horror will find enormous pleasure in exploring Herbulot’s magical landscapes and tough-as-nails heroes, who are determined to fight until the bitter end to complete their mission. A cinematic experience like no other, discover SALOUM on the big screen as it’s bound to become a new favourite for genre lovers. – Evrim Ersoy FORMAT: DCP DISTRIBUTOR: Elle Driver
