I read a lot about this film before I see it so was very interested to watch it when it arrive yesterday. Some people love, and some people hate Nature Morte. All my favorite movies are like this.First point, the cover is not a good indication of Nature Morte. It says "Hostel in Latex", I do not know "Nihilista Magazine" but I think the author see a different film to me. Maybe he just look at the picture on the box.Nature Morte has big ambitition, it have a lot of locations and costumes and it wants to be a big movie. But I think that director Paul Burrows is not a very rich man!The acting is OK, I like Jeso Vial, Carole Derrien and Laurent Guyon but maybe I am bias because they are all French. Some of the actors are not so good, but this is normal in small horror movies.The colors in this movie are very nice, the picture is sometimes to dark, but for me, this is only a small problem. I read some people think it is more like an Italian thriller from the 1970s, but I do not think so. It is more like an art movie but has blood,sex and a it has a very detailed and very good story. This is the strength of this movie, it is very original. I have not seen another movie like Nature Morte before.I like Nature Morte a lot and I give it 8/10. If it have more money it maybe could have been a 10/10.

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 was fortunate enough to see this film recently and was excited to find a film that uses the classic style of movie direction in the like of Hitchcock (if updated and liberated)in that uses mood and suspense as if a character in the film. Although not a high budget film, it is a well made movie that carries a dark mood which sends chills down your spine while peaking your erotic interest.In this day and age of special effects and ultra violence it is refreshing to see a movie that uses suggestion along with blood and gore. This is not to say there isn't a bit of blood spilled, but the effect is created mainly by the acting and not just special effects gore. What is very special about the movie is the way it transports the viewer to the dark side of sex. You get caught up in the characters' over the limit fetish and come away with a guilty feeling of enjoying watching it.Special note to Carole Derrien's performance. Her alluring and erotic presence blends effectively with a dark and dangerous soul to draw you into her world even though you know it is fatal. All in all a very good film that not only makes you think, but reaches out and grabs you (and twists a bit for good measure).

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.
