Review of The Soul Eater

I saw this at the world premiere at the IFFR in Rotterdam. Unfortunately, I was pretty underwhelmed. I found the movie to be slow and even a little boring at points. The supposed supernatural part of the story is only touched upon briefly, I was expecting more of this. It's pretty clear early in the story there is no real supernatural element. I would have liked to have seen more of the kills instead of just the after math, esp. That guy with the band saw. In the end it's just a gritty, dark but pretty standard police investigation movie with few surprises. The cinematography is ok, but doesn't make enough use of the beautiful french locale. I guess I just expected more of the story and the atmosphere. By no means a bad movie, but nothing remarkable.
