intelligent plot, visually stunning, amazing actors, but also very dark and disturbing.

Alright, I love horror. I watched this when I went camping and it was horrible. I thought the plot would be more solid. I thought the script would be so much better. The best part was when the movie was over and the credits were rolling because I could get on with my life.
The ending was such a HUGE disappointment to me. I was left sitting there going 'What?'. It wasn't a good ending. It was fast and sloppy and the director didn't take any care to what the viewers would think.
DO NOT watch this movie, in my opinion. Go find other movies that'll be worth your time. Trust me.
I thought this movie was very good. The cinematography almost made me smell the jungle. It reminded me of High Tension, another French movie. The pace lends itself toward a of a lost journey into psychosis. Emmanuelle Beart was effective as a mother driven to madness by an unbearable loss. It reminded me of a horror version of a Goddard film taking place in the jungle instead of Paris. The drawn out and slow nature of the story mirrors the character's unraveling sanity. Ultimately Fabrice du Welz entices the viewer toward a more creative role than submission to the prescribed authority of the director. I see that my favorable opinion is in a minority but in my mind Vinyan is a sophisticated take on a psychological thriller. 9 out of 10
This movie was longer than it needed to be. (or just felt that way) Either way yes it was nicely shot, had an interesting idea, and actually had good acting. But the storyline was to simple and didn't go anywhere other than expected.
As if losing your only child to a horrible act of nature isn't enough, you then strain the boundaries of your already irreversibly changed marriage by trudging through the jungles of Burma. But is the surreal and dark journey down the rabbit hole really enough to drive you completely insane? Emphatically yes, as we see in the movie. Many viewers will argue rightly that the film moves a bit too slowly in parts, and relies too heavily on scenery, but in the tradition of great films like Calvaire, it's gorgeous, gritty, tense and beautifully directed.
I watched thi movie with high hopes, and was severely let down. Yes, the story was pretty good and the acting was above average, but dear god is was a chore staying awake through the whole movie. The ending, which i suppose was supposed to be a shocker, was dreadful and so abrupt that it leaves the viewer wondering what the hell just happened, and not in a good way. Overall a very dull and dissapointing film.

This film took three people to write the script, if you take out all the waste of time interludes this film is about 20 minutes long. The new french horror films are good because they are inspired by american horror which taught them to be entertaining. This film is just like old french movies boring and a waste of time, the only thing that made me fill uncomfortable was waiting for it to get good which it never did.
I was really excited to watch the movie, in fact i was sitting in the theater watching X-Men Origins Wolverine and i was like mann i can't wait to get home and watch Vinyan. I got home, put the movie in and it started off pretty good it had a good story and all but then it got to about half way through and the scenes just started to get longer and longer and it's like every person is like "hey lets not say a word for 20 mins and piss everybody watching this movie off". I didn't really like ending either it just kind of like ended right there. I was pretty disapointed with the movie, sure it passed the time but i could of rented Broken.
Yes the movie is slow. In fact there are several scenes where your just waiting for a "cut" and i swear 10 more seconds go by. The acting was great and the plot was good as well. Great visual scenes of nature. I liked it
The past year i been hearing about the movie, how it is a different take on horror/thrillers. It is difficult to believe how the husband/wife get from thailand to wasting thousands of pounds in search for their missing son. That alone is so unbelievable it really puts you out of the movie from the get go. The film does a couple things well, it does make you feel uncomfortable. You get the sense when in Bruma that you do not belong there and you are truly lost. Vinyan does have great cinematography. Colors are dull and washed out in Bruma but pop in other areas(jungle/thailand). Vinyan is definitely different. It has a few things going for it but its slow pace, unbelievable story, and genuinely dumb wife makes it hard to recommend.
