VINCENT MUST DIE

ABOUT THE FILM:

In French with English Subtitles

Meet Vincent—an everyman by every imaginable angle—not a bad man but perhaps a bit of a dick sometimes. Imagine his surprise when, one day, the intern at his office attacks for no reason. Vincent is shocked. But before he can recover, random strangers soon start attacking him, one after another. Vincent has no choice; he must must run and hide because it seems the entire world has only one thought; Vincent MUST die.

Stéphan Castang’s brilliant horror film premiered at Semaine de la critique at Cannes Film Festival this year to wide acclaim and it’s impossible not to see why. A unique and original take on dystopian horror centered around a phenomenal performance by Karim Leklou, VINCENT MUST DIE is a unique entry into the pantheon of horror cinema: an unexpected ride that takes a turn every time the audience thinks it has a handle on what’s going on. Trust us when we say, you NEED to see this film in a cinema with fellow genre-lovers.
