Du Welz never manages to generate enough menace - this is no Apocalypse Now.

Reviews for Vinyan
1 - 12 (sorted by rotten rating)
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.

Vinyan is a fine example of art-house horror. It’s rich in spooky atmospherics, but it’s not really scary.
10/04/09
Horrific and harrowing but the narrative arc could leave the audience unmoved.
10/04/09
A vivid example of style over substance, this textured film creates an overwhelming sense of emotion and dread, but never manages to find a point to it all. It merely gives into the grisliness, leaving us shaken and unstirred.
10/04/09
Steeped in a bleak atmosphere and beautifully made, Vinyan journeys from the credible to the pretentious as the tension mounts and the horror grows increasingly extreme.
10/04/09
Without resorting to cheap frights or bogeymen, Vinyan locates its horror in the human heart of darkness.
10/04/09
A menacing pseudo-horror thriller with arty aspirations.
10/04/09
A dark and pessimistic drama which goes slap-happily mad towards the end but keeps you watching all the same.
10/04/09
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.
10/04/09
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.

Don't Look Now meets Heart of Darkness.
