It's certainly one of the more 'forgettable' entries in the French Extreme New Wave Horror cycle of that period and not one I feel myself compelled to revisit any time soon.
Mmm, it certainly loses out to 'Martyrs' and 'Inside' dramatically, or simply in terms of well realised visceral horror. Thinking about it though, I wish more horrors of 'Frontiere(s)'' stature would take on political issues as directly - 'Frontiere(s)' fumbled it by being a bit too close to events that demand better treatment, but at least the intent was there (unless it was all about opportunism). But, like you, don't think I'll be going for a revisit in the near future.
