There has been a new wave of french horror film the last 5 years or so and they have been a great combo of intense gore and good story. I first took notice with the film High Tension. I loved that movie. What an artfully done yet brutal film. The director went on to make the hills have eyes remake(an exceent remake of a cassic)Next I checked out the banned 8th film in the seven films to die for batch...Frontier. Now frontier wasn't as good as High tension but it was essentially Hostel with a better story and without being half softcore porn.
By now I was intrigued to say the least. I then rented a movie called Inside and was blown away to the core. They had done it. What no american horror film had done in decades...Frightened and disturbed me to the point of cringing. This is a brutal violent film that you can't help but watch even though you want to look away. You can't. This is truely the best horror fim I've seen in years. Last but not least is Martyrs. Another film that is so violent its almost hard to watch at times yet leaves you feeing a bit disturbed not sure whether you enjoyed it or not it does however inflict emotion which is harder and harder to do these days. I find mysef desensitized to much gore and vioence in movies but in these fims it actuay makes me feel something. Its not just gore for the sake of gore. I love the new french horror movement and I recomend if you get a chance check some of these flics out. It seems american horror has become either remakes, sequals, or teeny slasher flics. It great to see original stories and violence that would surely be banned(or was *see frontier) in our theaters. Anyone seen any others or have comments on any of the ones listed? |
