Vineyards flow red — with blood — in French-Belgian thriller Thousand Cuts (Le serpent aux milles coupures), in which director Eric Valette's steely panache counterbalances the convolutions of an overambitious screenplay. Starring Gallic draw Tomer Sisley as an injured fugitive who hides out in a young couple's isolated farmhouse, this is violent, adults-only fare which should pay its way on French release April 5 — subplots relating to rural racism will give it some topicality in the run-up to the presidential elections later that month — before profitable small-screen exposure. Elsewhere it will prove best suited to late-evening...

With the advent of bullet-cam and the various slo-mo elements used as visual punctuation, American blockbusters often veer into muscle-bound, shoot-'em-up fantasy. Eric Valette's action thriller The Prey (La Proie), on the other hand, roots itself in the realm of the possible, if not always the plausible. Convicted bank robber Franck Adrien (Albert Dupontel) trusts the wrong man in prison, and soon his former cellmate, sex offender Jean-Louis Maurel (Stéphane Debac), has placed his wife and child in jeopardy, and is framing him for a string of teen killings. When Adrien breaks out of prison to protect his family, detective Claire Linné (Alice Taglioni) is pulled away from dismantling a crime family and charged with tracking him down. DNA evidence points to <...

If you were to just look at this U.S. trailer for “One Missed Call” director Eric Valette’s French action/thriller “The Prey”, you would swear it had nothing to do with the plot synopsis laid out below. But it’s the same movie. Which one is right and which one is misdirection? I dunno. I’m going with the synopsis, even if the trailer makes it look like some kind of caper/revenge film. They’re really selling the whole “The Fugitive” angle pretty hard, too. Nevertheless, it looks like a pretty cool movie, and putting a really attractive French policewoman on the poster with tight jeans and a belt buckle? Wow. Is this movie set in France or Texas? I dunno, but consider me intrigued. Franck Adrien (Albert Dupontel), a bank robber convicted of a heist and sentenced to six months in prison, shares a cell with seemingly weak Jean Louis Morel.

The Chase Begins: Valette’s Latest Shows Promise, Falls Short
French director Eric Valette, whose 2002 debut Malefique was an overbaked grindhouse misfire (even though it certainly didn’t lack in perverse flair), has made his most promising film yet with the poppy, pulpy and generically titled The Prey. While languishing in forgettable material since for some time now (including the English language version of One Missed Call), Valette still doesn’t transcend B movie trappings with this latest, but he manages to use his likeable lead in a slickly paced exercise stuffed with plenty of entertaining details to hold your interest.
We meet Franck Adrien (Albert Dupontel) in the middle of sexual interlude with his wife Anna (Caterina Murino), though we quickly realize that Franck is in prison and this is a conjugal visit. It turns out that Franck was responsible for a lofty bank heist, and he was never...

Many film websites published “decade’s best horror films” lists in late 2009/early 2010. While these lists collectively provided a rough snapshot of the genre’s ups and downs during that time, with more time to reflect, it becomes increasingly clear what an important period the 2000’s were for the horror genre on a global scale.
Not only did this decade easily and obviously eclipse the comparatively arid 1990’s in both volume of production and overall quality, the 2000’s can also be looked at as a crucial one for horror cinema despite the justified outrage about the American film industry’s widespread strip-mining of classics and foreign films for remakes/re-boots and its saturation of the market with teen-friendly PG-13 rated horror films.
While by no means as groundbreaking as the 1970’s or as sentimentally regarded as the 1980’s, the 2000’s will be recalled as the decade that, despite well-founded criticisms...

★★☆☆☆ Arriving on DVD this week following a limited UK theatrical release, French director Eric Valette's The Prey (La proie, 2011) attempts to be a jack-of-all-trades, gritty crime thriller - yet predictably ends up as master-of-none. Part-prison drama, part-police procedural and part-manhunt, Valette's film is a jumbled mishmash of different styles and sub-genres that sadly feels like it's making itself up as it goes along.

A rough diamond con on the trail of a serial killer can't outrun this French thriller's weight of familiarity
The Prey runs in the footsteps of The Fugitive, doffs its cap to Seven and tips a wink to Tell No One. Its director, Eric Valette, is an exuberant market-stall trader, hawking knock-off ingredients as he sends rough diamond Franck (Albert Dupontel) busting out of jail on a mission to thwart a serial killer. Before long, Franck is bouncing off car bonnets, vaulting fences and surfing commuter trains, with les flics in hot pursuit. The only thing he can't out-smart is the film's weight of familiarity; the creeping sense that this caffeinated, cat-and-mouse narrative is actually turning round in circles.

Vengeful vehicles that have their own evil motives - along with ordinary engines used as deadly weapons by human drivers - have long been part of the genre.
Hybrid is now hoping to refuel the concept, proclaiming 'the new generation of killer car movies is here'.

Sometimes when I’m behind a particularly idiotic driver, I find myself wondering, in between shouted obscenities, if there’s even anyone at the wheel. Of course when I’m asking this, I’m imagining someone clipping their toenails or prattling away on their cell phone.
Obviously, the latest gossip about Jim-Bob is much more important than the two-ton hunk of steel that they’ve put on the road. Imagine, though, what if there wasn’t anyone in that driver’s seat at all. What if. . . the car was driving itself?
Sure, there are already movies with this premise, take Stephen King’s Maximum Overdrive and Christine for example. Sentient cars aren’t a new concept. However, let’s take this notion a bit further: what if that car in front of you isn’t even a car at all?

Late one night, a mysterious car is brought into the Chicago police impound garage after a deadly traffic accident. The on-call mechanics soon discover the car has a mind of its own. With hundreds of horsepower and two tons of reinforced steel at its command, it's a seemingly unstoppable killing machine capable of outrunning -- and outwitting -- humans.

That's not to say it's good. It's kind of just there. It's not the worst straight-to-dvd, PG-13 CGI-fest I've ever seen, but that doesn't say much.

Super Hybrid stars a shape-shifting alien that, for unexplained reasons, can only morph into different cars. I know what you're thinking, but it's actually not as bad as it sounds. That's not to say it's good. It's kind of just there. It's not the worst straight-to-dvd, PG-13 CGI-fest I've ever seen, but that doesn't say much.
After a driver-less killer muscle car claims a few victims on the streets of Chicago, it's involved in a deadly traffic accident and is taken to a police impound garage. The mechanics on call soon realize that it has a mind of its own, but it's too late. They are trapped inside with, what we soon discover, is a ridiculous CG snake alien that morphs into different cars. It...

It’s like “Predator” with Arnold Schwarzenegger, complete with heat-seeking “Predator”-cam, but instead of a killer alien hunter from outer space, it’s a killer car. Hopefully it wasn’t made in Detroit. God knows that industry doesn’t need anymore bad press. Starring Oded Fehr from “The Mummy” films, and directed by Frenchman Eric Valette, who once upon a time directed “Maléfique” and the remake of “One Missed Call”. I guess you could say his career isn’t exactly hitting on all cylinders. (See what I did there?)

Super Hybrid, from director Eric Valette (One Missed Call), is a film that has been finished in some part since 2009. 2009 is the year that the first trailer for Super Hybrid, previously called the simpler Hybrid, was released and the clip can be seen here (2009 Hybrid Trailer on 28Dla). The film has had a long perilous journey through darkened distribution streets to find a release date on DVD and Blu-Ray through the headlights of Anchor Bay Entertainment.
Now, a more polished trailer is available for this vehicular homicide inspired film a la Christine and Maximum Overdrive. The reel shows more of the finished special effects, which were missing from the first trailer, listed above. So, watch a group of mechanics enjoy their final greasy moments, as this possessed vehicular monstrosity goes about its business in killer exhaust spewing fashion. Also, expect Super Hybrid to crash through the garage doors of horror...

Formerly known as Hybrid, director Eric Valette’s follow-up to One Missed Call and Malefique is now called Super Hybrid, and is going direct-to-video on August 23, 2011 from Anchor Bay/Starz.
A seemingly mundane Chevy Nova is parked on a Chicago street while two young men stroll past, beer in hand. On second look they see a gleaming red sports car – unlocked with keys in the ignition. Thinking they can go for the ride of their life, they jump in only to find they can’t get out. The windows darken while the boys scream for their lives and disappear inside the silent car. After its successful kill, the sports car reappears as the non-descript Nova and resumes its sinister prowl.

Here's one film that no longer has to make our annual "Missing in Action" list (which compiles unreleased films sitting on the shelf). Fangoria says Anchor Bay Entertainment has acquired Hybrid for a DVD and Blu-Ray release. Except, when it hits shelves, it will be called Super Hybrid ; this is the third title now for the film. It was originally called Hunter , then it became known as Hybrid . Written by Neal Marshall Stevens and directed by Eric Valette, the film was once described to us as H.R. Giger meets Christine . It tells of a strange car terrorizing folks in a Chicago police impound garage. Said car just happens to be a hungry organic being. Look for it August 23. Here's a trailer...

Eric Valette has proven to be a very frustrating director. His career basically breaks down to his 2002 feature debut Malefique, which is brilliant, and everything he has done since, all of which is significantly less than brilliant. It's been enough to make a guy wonder if Valette was a one-trick flash in the pan, a guy who had only a single good film in him, but that one good film was so good that hope springs eternal.And it appears that hope may just be rewarded with the release of his latest effort later this month.Albert Dupontel stars in La Proie, a prison break drama due to release in French theaters April 15th.

Could The Disappearance of Alice Creed writer-director J Blakeson be the next Danny Boyle? Consider the facts:
In 1994 Boyle made his feature debut with Shallow Grave, a twisting and turning thriller played out almost entirely in a single location and starring a trio of then largely unknown actors. The film would win huge acclaim and trigger a fresh wave of smart indie film from the UK.
Now 2009, Blakeson makes his feature debut with Alice Creed, a twisting and turning thriller played out almost entirely in a single location and starring a trio of largely unknown actors.
