Over at BDTV you'll find five clips from Sony Home Entertainment's Vinyan, which arrives on DVD everywhere on April 7 (cover art and specs here). Directed by Fabrice du Welz (Calvaire), the thriller made its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival last September to a rash of positive reviews.
When someone dies a horrible death, their spirit becomes confused and angry. They become "Vinyan". A couple leaves the civilized world behind and descends into a living nightmare in this chilling horror thriller. Six months after losing her only child in the Southeast Asia tsunami, Jeanne (Emmanuelle Beart, Mission: Impossible) is convinced she sees him in a film about orphans living in the jungles of Burma. While her husband (Rufus Sewell) is worried that she's losing her mind, he still agrees to take her to search for their son together. Introduced to a dangerous gang of human traffickers, they find themselves alone and stranded in the middle of a treacherous jungle, set upon by a band of feral children. Has their search for their son led them to a fate more horrific than death?
"VINYAN is true to Welz’s vision and exactly what he promised to deliver" (BD Review)
That's all I need to read and I'm going to give it a chance. It's hard to find something that looks promising these days where the writer/director actually has the balls to stay true to their own vision and not let studios pummel it.
