Random strangers have suddenly started attacking Vincent with murderous intent. His existence as an unremarkable man is overturned, and as things spiral violently out of control, he is forced to flee and change his life completely.... A nerve-shredding, ground-breaking movie riding the new wave of French horror.

Critics Consensus

Vincent Must Die's slow turn from absurd comedy to tense, horror-tinged drama is supported by smart storytelling and compelling work from Karim Leklou in the lead role.

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

B-

Castang and screenwriter Mathieu Naert seem to tease us with the multitude of exciting paths that the film could go down before ultimately choosing the least interesting one.

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]

This movie starts off with so much potential. The premise is great and I’m along for the ride most of the way through, but the ending leaves a lot to be desired. I rationalize it by believing that they are leaving room for a sequel, because it truly feels like a lot of the big questions are left unanswered. If no sequel is in the works, then this feels like a waste of time.

Got duped by RT and watched this half-ass double-feature with Hallow Road, interesting premise to start, then loitering from second-half thru the end.

Saw at the local AMC, interesting idea, but was bored. The sound mix was a bit off, felt like the voices didn't match the actors.

An excellent idea very poorly executed with a bland script that meanders away from what made it interesting. The French to English dub wasn’t close to its worst problem.

Very entertaining. Really enjoyed it. Saw it as a double feature with Hallow Road. Both movies were really good.
