Product Description
Paint me dead! The strange case of ten beautiful paintings, ten victims of a deranged serial killer and the suicide of a brilliant painter is investigated by an American art guru. From the south of France to Thailand, nothing is what it seems as he is drawn into a world of lust and depravity, where more paintings begin to surface and another artist begins to kill in order to create! A film described as Insane and beautiful by legendary exploitation director Jess Franco, Nature Morte is a sophisticated, dark and highly stylized psychological thriller. Available for the first time ever on DVD and featuring an original soundtrack from Steven Severin (of Siouxsie and the Banshees) and Arban, Nature Morte is spooky, chilling and erotic - a modern Dorian Gray.

Here's a movie that stands out from the pile of low budget productions I usually watch. The story is thought-provoking, the cinematography is daring and very very stylized, the sexy scenes are... super sexy, in particular the sapphic one illuminated only by thunder:)The score is by an ex-member of my favourite bands ever (Siouxsie and the Banshees), which was a bonus! For a first movie, I have to take my hat off to Paul Burrows, shame the marketing of the movie seems to concentrate on the slasher elements rather than the Noir genre Nature Morte definitely belongs to (and the movie's website certainly reflects this). I believe that if you watch it expecting another Hostel movie, you'll be disappointed, but don't dismiss it if you like a good psychological thriller or are a fan of Giallos, like me!

This is a great independent horror/thriller film. Most of the independents I have seen fall well short of the mark in this genre but this is something rather cool. The plot is a little complex but very clever, I was never quite sure I had it sorted until the final scene, which was very disturbing. There are exotic sets and a really classy to look to many of the scenes. The girls are very vampish, the characters interesting and the killings brutal. It does have a real mystery to unravel as art dealer Olly and under cover cop Georges investigate the appearance of paintings by a supposedly dead artist. Needless to say the hunter becomes the hunted as things get totally out of control. Hope there is a sequel somewhere!
