- DirectorGaspar NoéStarsMonica BellucciVincent CasselAlbert DupontelEvents over the course of one traumatic night in Paris unfold in reverse-chronological order as the beautiful Alex is brutally raped and beaten by a stranger in an underpass tunnel.So Controversial. So Brutal. So Powerful. So Good.

But on the night of their arrival, the girls' idyllic getaway turns into an endless night of horror.The One that Started The Extreme French Movement. Extremely Suspenseful and Graphic. However, The Dubbing is ATROCIOUS and The Ending...Abysmal.
- DirectorCaroline du PotetÉric du PotetStarsAnne ParillaudArthur DupontThierry FrémontOne year after her teenage son's death, Sarah's life is in pieces. One night, her car accidentally hits Arthur, a young man the same age as her boy, who is running from a mysterious assailant who is hunting him down.Extremely Predictable But Still Holds a Surprise or Two. Direction Isn't the Best, But The Suspense Carries This Movie. Definitely Better than its 5.6 Rating.

Only 77 Minutes, Short and Sweet. Them> The Strangers.
- DirectorFranck KhalfounStarsElijah WoodNora ArnezederAmerica OlivoAs he helps a young artist with her upcoming exhibition, the owner of a mannequin shop's deadly, suppressed desires come to the surface.Beautifully Shot with an Uneasy Point of View to perfectly match how the viewer is feeling. Graphic. Horror Buffs have been praising It, But its "Psycho killer with Mother issues' brings nothing new to the Table.
- DirectorYannick DahanBenjamin RocherStarsClaude PerronJean-Pierre MartinsEriq EbouaneyAn end of the world battle between gangsters, cops and zombies.Brutal Zombie Movie. Unfortunately Brought Down By all The Bickering Taking Place. Still a Top Piece of the Zombie Genre.
- DirectorXavier GensStarsKarina TestaAurélien WiikPatrick LigardesA gang of young thieves flee Paris during the violent aftermath of a political election, only to hole up at an Inn run by neo-Nazis.Praised By Many, I Found it To be The Texas Chainsaw Massacre With Nazis Meets Hostel. Rather than a Homage, it Felt More like a Copy.
- DirectorClaire DenisStarsVincent GalloTricia VesseyBéatrice DalleTwo American newlyweds in Paris experience a love so strong, it almost devours them.Under-Written, But still enjoyable on a Smaller Scale. Would have been nice to have more of a back story. Dalle Again makes This Film. I Enjoyed to Concept, but the Lack of Development kills it. The Lack of Dialogue was Actually More Enjoyable than One would Expect.
- DirectorMarina de VanStarsMarina de VanLaurent LucasLéa DruckerA woman grows increasingly fascinated with her body after suffering a disfiguring accident.A Pioneer of the French Extremity. The movie does a great job developing an strong allegory for addiction, even if the addiction itself is self mutilation. If it sounds interesting, it is, but at the same time the movie itself was a bit of a disappointment. Its slow moving and leads to a less than satisfying conclusion.
- DirectorDavid MorleyStarsHélène de FougerollesFrancis RenaudDida DiafatIn the middle of a zombie apocalypse, a resourceful couple hides out in an isolated abandoned building. The woman is pregnant and the man is infected, slowly transforming into the kind of inhuman monster they are trying to escape.Unlikable Characters with Even Worse Relationships Toward Each Other. Film Built on the Love for the Husband But it Falls Flat in doing so.
