It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Verheyen, the director of this much discussed thriller, is an avid fan of B-horror/thrillers films. If you're not down with that and you haven't seen for example Italian cults like the Argento films, I understand that this film is pretty strangely build up. Also in ALIAS nothing really exciting seems to happen at first sight. It's the last part of the film where Verheyen suddenly changes course and shows us some really sick characters and bloody situations and then you realize (or you should realize) that all the small situations the personalities have encountered led to a finale so in-your-face for a Dutch public. ALIAS has a strong Argento touch in the psychology and story telling (e.g. Terror at the Opera). I liked it.

When the movie started i felt good. Hilde De Baerdemaeker is a good flemish actress and i love Gent and i was happy to see the city i know so well in a movie. I liked the first half hour very much... but it went downwards after that. Hilde (Eva) played very well, but that was about it. At the ending, where they "all" are at "Le Vallon", it became worse. I kept hoping the ending would make the film right, but it didn't. It's too bad Verheyen couldn't keep the level of the first half hour of the movie. I gave it a 6 and that is mild.

I cannot imagine seeing a more stupid movie this year. This is absolute crap. I like the director though and he has made some okay movies like Team Spirit and Alles Moet Weg, but I have no idea why he wanted to make this. So yes, it is the first Belgian thriller ever. It is also the first Belgian entry for next year's rasberry awards. The acting is okay, the scenery as well (hey, it shows great views over Ghent in the beginning of the movie), but the story is just so ridiculous and unbelievable... The special effects (well, when they start killing people) is so unprofessionally done, it's a laugh. Jan Verheyen presents cult movies on friday nights at one of the Flemish television channels (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Cannibal Holocaust, etc...) and makes compilations of the most stupid scenes in movie history... The chances of Alias becoming cult are small, but I guess it won't be long before we will see bits of this movie in one of his compilations.

This is one of the greatest flemish films ever created ! People who doesn't like flemish films have to see this one, it's really something else and it is better. Well done Jan !
