L'Auberge rouge (The Red Inn) is a 2007 French comedy crime film directed by Gérard Krawczyk. The film is a remake of the 1951 film L'Auberge rouge by Claude Autant-Lara, which was inspired by crimes that happened at Peyrebeille Inn.
Plot
In the 19th century, the Crouteux Inn, located in the Pyrenees mountains, is owned by Pierre and Rose Martin. The innkeepers regularly order their deaf-mute adopted son, Violet, to rob and murder their guests. One evening, a group of travelers take refuge in the inn after having trouble with their stagecoach. Among the travelers is Father Carnus, who is traveling with a novice to a local monastery. Pierre wants to kill the group and take their possessions, but after his deeply religious wife refuses to kill the priest, things go badly for the couple.
