Stunning First Trailer For Fabrice Du Welz’ VINYAN!

Belgium’s Fabrice Du Welz burst on to the international horror scene with Calvaire - released on these shores as The Ordeal - a shocking and polarizing feature that provoked strong reactions among both lovers and haters.  Clearly Du Welz was a talent to pay attention to but he had a bit of refining to do if he were ever to cross out of the hard core horror ghetto.  And if the trailer for his latest feature, the English language Vinyan, is to be believed this is the film that will do just that.  Smart, sexy, and building its tension out of the tragic loss of a far too believable couple this thing plays in my mind like Polanski at his peak.  It will horrify, yes, but not because of the extremes it goes to but because of just how recognizable the pain of its players is.  Here’s the synopsis:

Unable to accept the the loss of their son in the 2005 Tsunami, Jeanne and Paul Bellmer have remained in Phuket. Desperately clinging to the fact that his body was never recovered, Jeanne has convinced herself that the boy was kidnapped by traffickers in the chaos that followed the catastrophe… that her son is still alive. Paul is sceptical, but cannot bring himself to shatter his wife’s last hope. Bribing the sinister Mr Gao to take them by boat to the pirate-infested jungles of the Thai/Burmese border, the traumatized couple embark on a quest that will plunge them through paranoia and betrayal, ever deeper into an alien universe, a supernatural realm where the dead are never truly dead, and where nightmares, obsession and horrifying reality converge.

    Generic trailer, i’ll give the benefit of doubt to the director. Calvaire was a very unique trip of a film.

    I loved Calvaire, but the trailer does nothing for me.

    meh!

    Could’ve been interesting - mainly let down by the British lead actor.
