Vincent Must Die

Vincent Must Die

103 minutes
2023
France / Belgium Comedy / Drama / Horror / Thriller

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Imagine that everyone you make eye contact with is trying to kill you – that's Vincent's reality. Random strangers have suddenly started attacking him with murderous intent. His life as an unremarkable man is overturned, and as things spiral violently out of control, he is forced to flee and change his life completely… It's an entirely ordinary day at the office, and Vincent is going about his business. Suddenly, an intern attacks him unprovoked. When this starts happening repeatedly, Vincent is forced to go on the run. He heads to the countryside, attempting to understand what is happening and how he can survive in a world that is actively trying to kill him. In this living nightmare, Vincent encounters Margaux, a diner waitress who is sweet, charming, but potentially dangerous. Vincent Must Die is a violent affair – there's no shortage of blood, spit, and excrement, portraying the darker side of society. We've become more selfish and angry, and this satire turns up the volume. Drawing inspiration from films like Invasion of the Body Snatchers and It Follows, it's seasoned with an extra dose of dark humour.
