Vinyan is a rather interesting film. Directed by the guy behind Calvarie, one of the films clearly classified as part of the New French Extremity "movement", I had also read somwhere that Vinyan was related to that style (indeed that's what prompted me to download it), but I wouldn't say so.
This is a film about how pain turns love into obsession, and how this degrades into madness. The story is rather original, not that the plot has brilliant sharp turns or a frenetic pace, but it's fresh and different, and the settings (a touristic Thai zone first, and the dark, damp and wild Burmese jungle) are really appropriate. There are some fantastic elements since the beginning, but the horror components don't come into action until the last third of the film. That's probably the best developed part of the film. The "evil tribal kids" are quite original and terrifying, that terrifying as seeing beauty torn apart by madness.
Not much more to say, ah, yes, that the main female character is quite a cutie.
