Rating: 2/5 -- This could have been a strong supernatural thriller in its own right. However, while its premise is potentially decent, too much of the film is spent just waiting for something to happen. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- A sense of dread weighs heavy throughout, reinforced by a score so intense that at times it verges on abusive. Yet this is also one of the most gorgeous-looking films in recent memory, with brave, unabashed performances. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- Vinyan is a fine example of art-house horror. It's rich in spooky atmospherics, but it's not really scary. Full Review
Sunday Times (UK)
Oct 4, 2009
Rating: 4/5 -- A remorselessly grim but deeply affecting psychological horror that's likely to bitterly divide its audience. Not for the faint-hearted, Vinyan is a pitch-black, poetic exploration of the nightmare of losing a child. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- A menacing pseudo-horror thriller with arty aspirations. Full Review

Rating: 5/5 -- Without resorting to cheap frights or bogeymen, Vinyan locates its horror in the human heart of darkness.

Product Description:

VINYAN is a terrifying film that takes every parent’s worst nightmare and follows it into new realms of sheer horror. After losing their only child in the devastating tsunami of Southeast Asia, Paul (Rufus Sewell, DARK CITY) and Janet Belhmer (Emmanuelle Beart, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE) barely have the strength to go on. Despite being a little disturbed by Janet’s seemingly irrational claims that she saw their son in a documentary about the orphans living in the Burmese jungle, Paul shows his support by agreeing to join her on a search for the boy. But what they encounter on their trip are horrors both earthly and ungodly: drug traffickers threaten their lives and the presence of a clan of inexplicably rabid children seem to suggest a fate that goes far beyond death. Julie Dreyfus (KILL BILL: VOL 1) co-stars in this unimaginable descent into pure madness.
