A little bit 28 Days Later, a little bit The Quiet Place, and a lot The Sadness, Vincent Must Die is a must see.

Despite an ending that does not take full advantage of its potential, I highly value the intention of doing something different and I am left with the film's virtues... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 18, 2024

The idea is none other than to convey to the viewer the possibility of their worst nightmares. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 7, 2024

A striking debut film that follows the new wave of French horror and fantasy cinema. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 7, 2024

Stéphan Castang and his cast have created a clever comedy that, for all its horror, is as charming as hell.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 15, 2024

For all its deadpan humor, Vincent Must Die is a really rather thoughtful film about the minefield of microaggressions that await us all.

| Nov 14, 2023

It’s a clever, low-stakes, absurd horror comedy aimed at millennials, who are ready to laugh at how awful everything is. Come for the violence, stay for the giggles.

| Original Score: 3.5 | Oct 19, 2023

A punchy summation of post-pandemic — rather than pre-millennial — nervousness and malaise.

| Oct 10, 2023

Especially frustrating because it has such a clever idea. But, the execution of that premise is inconsistent.

| Oct 8, 2023

Vincent Must Die is an astute film that is executed with alacrity from all involved and will surprise and delight as much as it inspires existential dread.

... audiences are given a ground-level view of what it looks like when any social interaction can turn violent without warning and how built-up unabated rage can bring down anything.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 8, 2023

It's brilliant, in other words, and riding the tube of this zeitgeist...

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 5, 2023

Vincent Must Die is a sublime foray into several genres, that meticulously balances its more broad comedic strokes with its brooding and bittersweet love story at its core.

| Aug 4, 2023

That's where the fun and intrigue lie since this isn't some high concept gore-fest of carnage like MAYHEM or THE SADNESS. Castang has crafted a quiet drama out of the scenario instead.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 4, 2023

Strong premise never reaches its full potential. There are great moments of tension and the more chaotic scenes are excellent, but when it becomes a character study, it loses its way.

| Jul 29, 2023

The most interesting reading of Vincent Must Die is to view the film as a tale of microaggressions: the myriad microaggressions that we’re supposed to sit with, swallow, take lying down in the corporate world, but also in the rest of the world, too.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 27, 2023

At first, Vincent Must Die is charming, even morbidly funny ... As the movie goes along, however, it becomes significantly less humorous. Thanks in part to a pulsating electronic score, the movie evolves into a devilishly tense experience.

Karim Leklou’s performance becomes the film’s driving force as the audience immediately feels empathy for the 30-ish character. The film begins as a dark comedy but as the story unfolds the laughter subsides and the horror is amped up.

| Jul 24, 2023

Vincent Must Die delivers a unique and twisted narrative with a gripping mystery, but it never fully unravels all its threads.

| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Jul 23, 2023

It’s a film which starts small and retains that standard of intimacy, always playing out as one man’s struggle against an unprecedented turn of events, even when those events grow increasingly, to an extent familiarly nasty.
