review by
Mike Haberfelner

Vincent (Karim Leklou) is nothing but a small cog in the corporate world, one that couldn't hurt a fly, and therefore also has no enemies - until he's attacked by an intern (Ulysse Genevrey) at his office, totally unprovoked and totally out of the blue. Now that's troubling enough, but even more troubling is that random people start attacking him at random times, as out of the blue and unprovoked. Of course, Vincent has no idea what's going on, but he soon finds out he mustn't make eye contact with anyone, otherwise he invokes something in the other person that makes them go violent. Now that's easier said than done of course ...

Eventually, Vincent meets Joachim (Michael Perez) who suffers from the same condition he does, and who points him to a self help group on the internet and advices him to move as far away from civilisation as he can and get a dog. Vincent, now with dog, does the best to stay by himself, and even so makes the acquaintance of diner waitress Margaux (Vimela Pons), who somehow takes a liking to him and who can actually look into his eyes without going on a rampage most of the time, and as she has got problems of her own she could need help with, the two soon team up, even if that means Vincent has to handcuff Margaux most of the time to not risk being attacked. Thing is, they're unsure where to go while a wave of violence sweeps over the country ...

 

The premise of Vincent Must Die is as ingenious as it's chilling of course, and that it's never properly explained away only adds to the film's charm. Plus, the scenes of outbursts of violence are inventively directed, but the film also finds its heart and comes alive also in its quite moments. And Karim sure puts in an engaging and relatable performance, supported by a very able ensemble. This all results in a pretty cool piece of genre cinema that might, to be quite honest, go on a little too long for the premise not to wear thin, but it's still entertaining enough throughout.
