New wave french horror??
I remember that opening scene in the vehicle and the killer is proceeding to do something with a skull. Now for alll you that have seen Haute Tension, you know what I am talking about? From that point on after he is done and discards the head out the window, the movie proceeds to get better with plot and gore! After seeing that and not being disapointed. I have proceeded to watch most films from France.
Since Malefique (2003) there has been a huge sucess in Movies over there. Problem with France is that only movies tthat are allowed on tv , are the only ones really allowed to be filmed over there. So movies like haute tension(High Tension (2003)), Sheitan (2006), Ils(Them (2006)), Calvaire (2004) and my favorite for this year À l'intérieur (2007). If it wasn't for StudioCanal releasing these, we may have never seen them this quick!
Also Movies like Gasper Noe's Irreversible (2002) and I Stand Alone (1998) were really well done and not for the faint of heart. Also Claire Denis's film Trouble Every Day (2001) which was well done.
I am curious to know, what other people may think, of all this new french horror? And there opinions on these movies?
