What a waste of my time!!!

disgusting, overrated, pointless

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I have been lucky enough to see this film early and it outclasses pathetic horrors such as 'The Ring' and 'The Grudge'. Not only is this film classy, it also doesn't rely on special effects to cover up the mediocre storyline, special effects and stupid monsters aren't needed because the plot itself holds the viewer in suspense. The whole connection between the murderer and the painting is simply ingenious and is unique and brings a whole new perspective to the Horror/Thriller genre. The Thailand sequences are stunning and believable, unlike other horrors, as the film ventures into the darker districts of Thailand, and all of the sex and drugs that would take place, unlike 'The Grudge' where you're supposed to believes a blue Japanese kid with an annoying gagging sound is going to kill you. All in all, my verdict is that this film is unique and, as I said, brings a whole new perspective to the genre.

I love a good thriller.. and this certainly fits the billI saw Nature Morte at a London screening. As with all good Thrillers, you have to keep your eyes and ears open in case you miss those all important clues to who the killer might be... or become! One of the main characters is Carole Derrien who plays Blanche - shes very sexy but quietly dangerous drawing victims into her dark world.. The music is great very eerie! - Steve Severin created this - he was the original founder of Siouxsie and the Banshees...I understand this is a first for Paul Burrows, Outstanding first film. I hope there will be more to come.

I caught Nature Morte at Luxembourg's Cinénygma festival. Wow, what a bizarre movie.When it started I thought it was going to be just another serial killer movie, but once things move onto the tropical island it just got stranger and stranger. There are a lot of drugs, and quite of lot of sex, but it looks so weird it doesn't feel like its just thrown in to keep lonely males happy. All the main characters are good,particularly the painter played by Laurent Guyont. This guy is just fantastic and I hope we'll see a lot of him in the future.On the negative side, Nature Morte is clearly shot on DV, not HD, so the cinema is not the best place for it as it looked too "digitized". Also, the story is very complex, perhaps too much so, I think I only worked out the why Blanche does what she does on my drive home, and I'm still not sure. I look forward to seeing it again when it comes out on DVD to see if I have it right.To summarize, this film is not for everyone, its very dark, druggy and sexy and the main characters are not particularly likable in the traditional sense, but I loved it. But if you do hate it, stay for the music, its great.

A reputed artist brings home a fine looking women and explains that he wants to paint her in his style. Little does she know that the painter not only imagines the injuries and bodily harms his paintings depict but actually inflicts them to be portrayed... He wakes up next to her corpse and discovers that the police have surrounded the building and, seeing no escape, blows his brains out.Nature Morte starts out as a creepy mix between Lovecraft and Noir. unfortunately, the plot quickly sidelines this main issue and gives in to psychedelic drug use and the matching camera movement and cuts, throw in a sickening amount of gratuitous nudity, spanking and sex and you end up with the mess that is "Nature Morte". Here's an example of a film that could have done more with less. Once the mystery behind the main plot point is lifted the film still goes on and pulls a "Return of the King"-esquire multiple endings whose only reason of existence seem to be to display more naked female bodies.Shame really, so much more could have been done with this.
