Saloum
Directed by Jean Luc Herbulot
Shot down after fleeing a coup and extracting a drug lord from Guinea-Bissau, the legendary mercenaries known as the Bangui Hyenas must stash their stolen gold bounty, lay low long enough to repair and refuel their plane and escape back to Dakar, Senegal. When they take refuge at a holiday camp in the coastal region of Sine-Saloum, they do their best to blend in with their fellow guests; but one Hyena is hiding a dark secret. He has brought them there for a reason and once his past catches up to him, his decisions have devastating consequences, threatening to unleash hell on them all. A SHUDDER ORIGINAL.
A legendary trio of on-the-run mercenaries carrying a stolen gold bounty and a kidnapped drug lord take refuge in a remote and mystical area of Senegal, where dark ancestral forces unleash hell on them all.
Cast: Yann Gael, Evelyne Ily Juhen, Roger Sallah, Mentor Ba, Bruno Henry

Wow. It's a Spaghetti Western, African ghost story. Took me a bit to get into it, kept wondering how much I was really understanding because of cultural unfamiliarity; but once I stopped trying to figure all the details out and worried about what I might be missing, bam! It was a wild ride with a tragic and poetic ending.
Homage. Boring. NotScary.
Awesome! It kicked off with a Spike Lee/Tarantino vibe which was gory fun, and then got more serious. I feel like there was a little more to this story - maybe it could have been a 2-part movie or even a series. GREAT acting..
Original, engaging, loved it! Agree with all the previous reviews detailing the great acting and storyline. So good!
Felt there was more story here. Cool concept. Just wish it was fleshed out more.
