==Plot==
8-years-old Alex, Samantha, Jean, Mathilde, Renata, Maxime, Douglas and Dominique watch the film trilogy Arthur. After the end of the third film, Alex's mother takes the children to sleep and wishes her son a happy birthday. Alex then tells his mother what his dream is: to become a Minimoy.
Ten years later, 18-year-old Alex tries to escape the gendarmes, while he is disguised as Arthur. For their part, Jean, Renata, Maxime, Dominique, Douglas and Mathilde then prepare the party for Alex's birthday. The latter arrives at his home after having escaped the gendarmes. Samantha then arrives disguised as Princess Selenia, which surprises Alex. The evening begins. Friends eat cake. Alex opens all the presents offered by his friends then goes to the room with Samantha to discuss. Maxime picks them up to come and watch the films of the saga. The group of friends then watches Luc Besson's trilogy, then gathers around the table to eat. Samantha announces a surprise to Alex: her friends have found the house that was used as a film set. Alex not believing it, his friends show him a video sent by their friends Momo and Pilou, where we see them in front of the famous house. The whole gang of friends leaves the next day to find the house.
After several hours on the road, the teenagers stop in a quiet little town to buy food. The inhabitants observe them, from their arrival until their departure. After getting back on the road, Renata stops near a house to ask their way. They ring the house bell while Mathilde takes pictures. She then notices a human foot torn off and hanging from a clothesline but when taking a photo, a dog jumps on it, followed by several other dogs as well as the inhabitant of the house. He asks them what they are doing here. The teenagers tell the villager that they are looking for the house that was used for the filming of the film Arthur and the Minimoys. The inhabitant, who seems paranoid, tells them that the places around the house are dangerous and that they should turn around. The local gets angry and fires a shotgun shell in the air to make them leave.
When they have found the right path, the group of friends is forced to stop in the forest, due to a tree trunk blocking the road. Alex and the others continue the route on foot, while Renata leaves a trace of their passage with ribbons to find the road that leads to their car. The friends finally find the house they are taking a picture of and discover that the objects used in the filming are still there. Alex, Samantha, Maxime and Dominique then find a hatch that leads to the basement, while Jean, Mathilde, Douglas and Renata go upstairs to visit the rest of the house. Jean discovers that the rails of the train appearing in the film are still there as well as the paint having been used for the make-up. They find Momo and Pilou's camping stuff and wonder where they are. Alex, Samantha, Maxime and Dominique explore the basement, while Maxime and Dominique go upstairs to join the others. Meanwhile, Alex and Samantha explore the rest of the house. Alex then finds a blocked door and tries to open it, without success. They go back up but fall on Jean, made up in paint like a character from the film, who scares them.
Alex, Samantha and the others set up camp near the house then try to call Momo and Pilou to announce their arrival, but neither of them answers. The group of friends go into the forest to find wood to make a fire, having fun together and toasting Alex's birthday. Dominique, who has moved away, finds Momo's phone. Alex and the others begin to worry about Momo, but continue to party. While going to bed, Alex and Samantha mutually confess their feelings and kiss. In the night, Alex is awakened by a nightmare where he sees Momo, Pilou and himself being attacked by strangers. Leaving the tent to go do his business, Alex notices lights coming from the forest in the distance as well as several people. He calls Momo thinking it's him, but he gets no response and the lights suddenly go out.
The next day, the teenagers discover the cooler overturned and the food eaten. Douglas thinks a bear might have done this, while the others tell him there are no bears in the area. So they send Douglas to the car to do the shopping while Dominique and Maxime go swimming in the river in the forest. Douglas follows the flags Renata has hung from the trees to find the way back to the cars, but falls sur a strange tree where a person seems to be stuck inside. As he approaches the tree, a person arrives and knocks him unconscious. Maxime and Dominique are resting by the river but end up discovering Momo's body, unconscious, hanging from a tree. Maxime, while trying to unhook the rope attached to Momo's foot, puts his foot in a bear trap which cuts off his foot. Dominique arrives to get Maxime's foot out of the trap and succeeds in cutting the rope to which Momo is hanging, who dies from his fall. Meanwhile, the rest of the group find the hole used for the filming which, in the movies, was the gateway to the kingdom of the Minimoys. Taking Jean's camera by tying it with a tied rope to observe the depth of the hole, they then observe something strange that rips the camera off, pulling Jean into the hole. Alex cuts the rope that connects Jean to the camera and saves his friend.
Renata angrily tells Alex that they should all go home after what happened. But in the distance, they notice Dominique, carrying Maxime on his back and who ends up falling to the ground. After being joined by the group, Dominique explains to Alex that Momo is dead and begs him to leave. After treating Maxime, Alex, Jean and Dominique bring him to the cars, leaving Samantha, Mathilde and Renata at home. As they arrive at the car, they find that a log has fallen on Renata's vehicle and Douglas has gotten lost in the forest. While Alex and Jean are looking for him, they leave Dominique and Maxime behind in Jean's car with instructions to honk every 2 minutes to make sure they are okay, and to honk several times in case of problem. At home, Renata and Samantha sit on a swing to listen to music.
Mathilde then looks at the photos she has taken with her camera and notices in the photos that a person is watching them from the window upstairs in the house; when she turns her head to observe the window, she then sees that the person is still observing her. To be safe, she locks herself in the barn, but sees through the door that a person is lurking around the barn. She climbs onto the roof, which attracts a whole honeycomb towards Mathilde, who is allergic to bee stings. Stuck in the barn, she breaks the window to try to get out but succumbs to her allergy. Alex and Jean, still in the forest looking for Douglas, find the latter with his hands clinging to a tree. As Jean approaches him, he notices that his arms are ripped off, signifying Douglas' death. Dominique, watching over Maxime, notices that strangers are approaching the car; he then honks several times to signal the danger to Alex and Jean, but someone breaks the car window. In the distance, Alex and Jean hear the cries of their friends, but, soon enough, they are already dead. Alex and Jean therefore head towards the house to alert Renata and Samantha.
In the distance, Xander calls Samantha telling her to get away as soon as possible, but the person who has been watching them all along cuts the wire of the swing she is sitting on, causing her to fall into a tunnel under the house. Xander, Jean, and Renata cast a fluorescent light to locate her and grab a rope to bring her to the surface, but a hand grabs Samantha's foot and drags her down with her into the basement. Alex and Jean therefore immediately go to the basement to try to find her and, while crossing a tube, Alex falls on Pilou's lifeless body, but finds Samantha, alive and made up with paint like in the film. Jean announces to Renata, who remained on the ground floor, that they have found Samantha; but as she catches her breath, a person who had confused themselves with the walls of the house with paint on her body, approaches her and kidnaps her. As they head back downstairs, Jean, Samantha, and Alex lay on the floor, taking a deep breath, but upon hearing footsteps, Alex turns around and gets knocked out with a punch. .
Kidnapped by people dressed as Matassalai, characters from the Arthur and the Invisibles trilogy, Alex, Samantha, Renata and Jean regain consciousness while they are tied up. A Matassalai approaches Alex telling him that the moon is full and that he is ready to join the world of the Minimoys, Jean tries to find a plan and cut the rope that keeps them prisoners. As the Matassalai pull on the vines to send Alex into the world of the Minimoys, as in the second part of the saga, Jean arrives to rescue her friend with Renata while Samantha leaves to seek help.
But as she tries to get the Matassalai's attention, several people disguised as Minions (the minions of Maltazard in the movies) arrive, armed with knives, and one of them stabs Renata who bleeds out. A fight between the Matassalai and the Minions then begins. Alex tries to escape from the vines that hold him prisoner and Jean fights with a Matassalai, which knocks him out; but as he is about to finish him off, Alex arrives and stabs the Matassalai in the back with a spear. After escaping, Samantha comes across a figure, which turns out to be a person disguised as Maltazard, the villain of the Arthur and the Invisibles movies. As she flees, she is caught by Maltazard, who tries to strangle her to death, but she is saved by the paranoid inhabitant of the house, whom the gang had met to ask directions. Shooting Maltazard with his rifle, he then kills the Matassalai and the remaining Minions. He then approaches Alex telling him that he told them not to approach this house because it was dangerous; he then threatens Alex by pointing his gun to his head, and tells him not to set foot in that house again, which Alex accepts. After that, the inhabitant tells Alex that the nightmare is finally over and leaves, before the police and the emergency services arrive.
In the morning, the police, who have completely secured the place, announce to them the death of Mathilde and tell them that the bodies of their friends will be repatriated. The police also tell Alex, Samantha, and Jean that their attackers were just a bunch of out-of-town, drug-addicted kids who played deadly role-playing games like Batman vs. Superman, but they started playing Arthur and the Invisibles after discovering the house that was filmed. When getting into a police van that will take them to the hospital, Alex notices an individual at the window of the top floor of the house watching them. After they leave, the house and the field around it are surrounded by police and medical examiners, dealing with the corpses of the Matassalai and the Minions, as well as those of Mathilde, Renata, Douglas, Dominique and Maxime but also the band member, disguised as Maltazard.
