'''''Livid''''' is a French horror film released in 2011. It is Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury's follow-up to ''Film/{{Inside}}''. While there are some grisly moments, the film is considerably less gorier than its predecessor.

It's young Lucie's first day as a trainee in-house caregiver. She visits Mrs. Jessel, an old woman who lies in cerebral coma, by herself, in her large desolate house. Learning by accident that Mrs. Jessel, a former dance teacher of repute, supposedly possesses a treasure somewhere in the house, Lucie and her friends William and Ben decide to search the house in the hope of finding it. At night, they get into the house, which reveals itself to be increasingly peculiar. Their hunt for Mrs. Jessel's treasure leads them into a horrifying supernatural series of events that will change Lucy forever...

Note: Given the nature of the film, '''spoilers''' are unmarked.

!! This film provides examples of the following tropes:

* AndIMustScream - Anna is stuck for years in a statue-like state. It's unclear how conscious she actually is.
* TheCameo - Béatrice Dalle, the star of ''Inside'', has a brief cameo as Lucie's dead mother.
* ClockworkCreature - A flashback shows that Jessel implanted some sort of clockwork device in her daughter's back.
* DeadGuyOnDisplay - What appears to be Anna's initial fate. Except she's NotQuiteDead.
* EyeScream - Anna and later Lucie have their eyes stapled shut.
* TheRenfield - Mrs. Wilson appears to be this, procuring young children and killing them for blood for Mrs. Jessel.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent - They need blood and can't stand the sunlight but besides that everything seems to be up for grabs. For example, Mrs. Jessel has aged considerably.
* ShoutOut - To ''Film/{{Suspira}}'', ''Film/HalloweenIIISeasonOfTheWitch'', among others.
