VINYAN.
Vinyan is the second film from Director Fabrice Du Welz (Calvaire). A couple loses their son during the Tsunami in Thailand however, while watching a video presentation on empoverished areas in Burma they think that they spot him on tape. This sighting leads them on a search through the Thai underworld and throughout the Burmese jungle looking for what may or may not be their son.
Stunning cinematography by Benoit Debie (Irreversible) and incredible sound design by Fred Meert (also of Irreversible) make this film an intriguing watch. Definitely go see it if it comes to a theatre near you. If you can only get a DVD copy then turn up the volume.
For fans of Du Welz, there is definitely a scene in this that rivals the dancing scene in Calvaire. Watch the intro here. (and turn up the volume on your monitor)

Whoa! You need to see that shit!!! Have a french horror night and rent that, Sheitan, A L’interieur, and Frontieres if you haven’t seen them already.

I have Frontiers sitting here on my TV stand and Ive already seen Inside (A L’interieur) which was an amazing slasher! I haven’t heard of Sheitan but I’m gonna go Netflix it now.

Frontieres is the most intense to me next to Martyrs. Sheitan is out on DVD so it shouldn’t be to hard to find.

Martyrs unfortunately is not out on DVD, or at least not anywhere where I can find it.

Yeah I have a copy of Sheitan I’d be willing to rip or send up to you, it’s certainly worth a watch. The music videos those Kourtrajme guys have put together are incredible.

Yeah, who knows when Martyrs will be out on DVD. I do know that it was purchased by Dimension Extreme so it should be out soon. (hopefully)
Also, Ben we should do a post on Kourtajme and their affiliates.
