Martijn t The Frenchest vampire(-ish) movie. It felt like sort of a mix of The Hunger and Under the Skin (the van!) to me and like those two movies I thought it relied a bit too much on vibes alone. I prefer my horror(ish) movies a bit more traditionally plotted. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/25 Full Review Jeffrey P Doesn't come together as anticipated and no big surprise or twist occurs to fill that void which leaves it a bit unclear at times. Just another day in the life of cannibals, I guess. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/11/23 Full Review John A Occasionally the imagery is absorbing and it feels like the film is headed somewhere significant but its kinda all for almost nothing. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/01/23 Full Review Wayne K A famous example of the French Extremity Movement, which is not in fact a form of exercise, but a series of films loosely connected by their boundary pushing violence, gore and sexual content. Among the most infamous would be Martyrs and Irréversible, and while TID is nowhere near as graphic as either of them, it still definitely lands in the ballpark. With a more pensive tone and slower pace, it sets itself up to be a rumination on… well I'm not sure exactly. For me, it was a film where the pieces were there, but they never ending up fitting together. It's got some interesting characters and intriguing ideas, but there's so little forward momentum that many of them are undeveloped or unexplored. When one of the principal characters dies, and with 25 odd minutes left, the plot goes from being muddled to meandering and the rest of the film is hollow and dramaless as a result. I liked Vincent Gallo's performance, likely since he's given the most to do. The other characters just orbit around his story arc, with little agency of their own. I admire the unrestrained approach it took towards the sex and violence, but the pacing, story structure and overall tone just left me feeling nothing. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/23 Full Review mueler k I am interested in characters. This movie is not. An empty feeling movie with a strange take on sexual dynamics. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review william d For most of this movie I was thinking, "What the hell's going on?" (Well, I was also thinking, "Why doesn't that guy get a haircut?", but I'll admit that's really not germane here.) By the end of the movie I was thinking, "That's it?"
