Modern French horror and suspense is among the most edgy of any nation's cinematic efforts. The films thrive on unsettling the audience, whether on a psychological level, or a visceral, violent level. I'm really impressed by each of these films for varying reasons. The French have a small but integral heritage in horror and suspense (Polanski's The Tenant comes to mind). To an extent, influence from Cronenberg, Lynch, and Polanski can be seen in these selections.
