The movie

When she comes home, Annie finds out that her boyfriend Dave has filled the living room with a construction made of cardboard and papier-mâché. Though not surprised – Dave has always been an artist – she is annoyed and asks him to come out so they can talk. Except Dave cannot find his way out of his own maze. When she realises he is not joking, Annie gathers a group of friends to go look for Dave. But his labyrinth hides deadly traps, killer origami, and even a minotaur… Have you ever dreamt of seeing Michel Gondry direct a slasher-style remake of Labyrinth? Rejoice! Bill Watterson has done it! The American filmmaker turns his directorial debut into a truly innovative and fantastic story that explores various genres and visual techniques. His unrestrained creativity allows him to overcome budgetary limitations and deliver the best of what original, independent cinema has to offer.
