jill de schrijver Jan Verheyen is a capable movie director. But this is perhaps the worst movie I've seen in a while that pretends to be better than it is.The plot lacks all credibility. The acting is well done, but that does not make the plot any more credible. The credibility issue starts as soon as 'Eva' kisses 'Dieter' on the mouth at their first accidental meeting - him tripping over two thieves who stole her camera. It is as if the movie does not know what it wants to be: a murder mystery thriller or a psycho slasher movie. The murder mystery is solved halfway through the movie already. And the psycho slasher part takes itself too serious and lends too much from Hollywood in a world that just is not that scary.If this movie was supposed to keep me in suspense, it failed utterly. It might have worked when I was 10 though.

raptor1982-1 This if the first Flemish movie (after Team Spirit) that I really like. It has everything you need: good acting, good story, good soundtrack,...Jan Verheyen has done a good job! 9/10

metalisart8 To me, the best movie Jan Verheyen ever made was "alles moet weg". Simply brilliant. And what about this one ? Well, it had almost immediatly my interest, because it was a thriller. When the movie was over, I thought it wasn't bad. And it isn't. The acting is good, some moments are really frightning and we saw a new actress here: Hilde De Baerdemaker. She has one of the main roles in this movie and she does that very well. The weak points of the movie? Well, the ending is a bit to cheap, it looked like Verheyen hadn't much time left and why does he always put those freaky sex scenes in his movies? OK, I'm not extremely catholic and I have nothing against sex or nudity or beautiful women, but in every movie Verheyen uses some "hardcore sex" That really sucks. Also, some people said it was "the most scary movie that they'd ever seen". Well, not exactly... It IS scary, but it's no "silence of the lambs" or "de lift", made in the Netherlands, by the way. My final opinion: not bad at all, but due to the ending & some stupid scenes, who think they're scary, this movie is not a masterpiece. But, this is belgian made, for our country it's allright. With a larger budget, this would've been better than "de lift". Nice try.

liveheroes 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.
