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.

A poor, dull horror-thriller

DJM666 from , 25th September, 2009

A disappointing horror-thriller, with Rufus Sewell and Emmanuelle Béart both putting in good performances in the lead roles and the film having some nice looking settings, but for most of the 85-minute runtime the film is slow, tedious and largely uninteresting, and it lacks any tension, suspense or atmosphere.

Form Over Substance

Human from , 25th September, 2009

Can't fault the cinematography, but the script is a non event and the acting B grade at best.

weird and slow

A Customer from Bath, 25th September, 2009

Despite some good acting (especially from Emmanuelle Beart), the movie that starts promising turns quickly into some weird meaningless nightmare. Good at showing how one can fall into madness. But don't expect a classic plot as there isn't really one.
Weird and distrubing as i guess it was meant to be. Must have been really disturbing to film...

Very Dull

Flashman from , 18th March, 2010

I suppose it's my own fault for not heeding the warnings from other reviewers. Despite the potentially eerie jungle setting this film is not in the least bit scary and by the time the 'shocking' ending arrives you are past caring. Very little actually happens in what is essentially a 90 minute non event. Avoid.

waste of time

KerryS from , 13th March, 2010

This was just awful, complete waste of my time and was not at all entertaining. The end was crap and it put me off my food.
