French Horror?

[ICP RULZ]

Does anyone know any good horror movies actualy in french instead of that horrible dubbing they do on dvds now? Or would anyone like to discuss some french horror movies with me?

Peace

[rushmore beauty]

I'm not sure if it counts as a horror, but Brotherhood of the Wolf is really good.

[ICP RULZ]

Is it in french. Cuz I hate dubbing. It just doesn't feel french to me

Peace

Deep in the Woods is a cool, stylish French slasher. Man Bites Dog is French as well, if I'm not mistaken. I'm not sure what the plot concerns, but it’s been said to have influenced Blair Witch. And Brotherhood of the Wolf is an entertaining ride.

PS-The Foreign Horror forum could use some traffic right about now.

i may be wrong but isnt man bites dog a movie from belgium? (i cant spell sorry)

[Lord Crumb]

BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF and CRIMSON RIVERS are both REALLY great films. The DVDs have subtitles...in fact, MOST DVDs have the original language with optional subtitles...which DVDs are you watching? MAN, I hate dubbed movies.

And moving to FOREIGN...say count, when are you gonna join us as a mod? :)

Oops! I checked the IMDb, and you're absolutely right. It's a Belgian production.

Crumb, I'm still waiting for Arrow to accept applications for the position of Horror Reviews moderator.

HINT! HINT!

I just rented Brother Hood of the wolfs. I have yet to see it. But I couldn't find it on dvd so I had to rent it on VHS. Anyone know what it's like on VHS?

Peace

[countchocula]

The VHS is dubbed. This will marginally taint the film for you, so you may want to hold out on watching it until you can grab the DVD (if I had known any better, I would've). Of course, you've already rented it, so you may as well watch it. It's up to you.

[ICP RULZ]

well I saw it anyways and I must say this,it kicked major ass. It was friggin crazy. I loved every bit of it. Now all I have to do is find the dvd and I will be all set

Peace

France has not really the horror genre culture, not like Italy.
I think u have not more than 30 french horror movies and it is sad because it is my mother tongue but I am not french I am a belgian, do not confound please !
U have : Jeux D'enfant, Les Doigts D'Orlac, Les Diaboliques, La Belle et La Bête, The Crimons River ( aka Les Rivières Pourpres )
Six Pack ( a very bad thriller !! )
Try Jean Rolin in the IMDB I think he directed some horror movies just like Tourneur.

[ICP RULZ]

Hey,Merci pour ces recommandations. Je pense que je vas prendre Jeux D'enfants,Les Riviers Pourpres. Avez-vous vu deja ceux-ci? Bon?


Peace

P.S.

Comment faites-vous les accents sur l'ordinateur? Fait vous avez un jeu de caracteres special?

[7th son]

Try these:

"Grapes of Death" and "Living Dead Girl." Usually recognized as the best films Jean Rollin directed. The DVDs are nice, in particular "Grapes," and the dialogue is in the original French language, just as you wanted.

[Jason13thh]

To ICP RULZ :
I can't use accents very easily because it is an azerty french keyboard so I don't have any problem and don't forget I live in Belgium.
Est - ce que le français est ta langue maternelle ?

Ummm Non, ce n'est pas mon tounge maternelle mais j'etais en l'immersion francais pour 8 annees et apres que je viens de la lecture de garder romans francais et les films de francais qui regardent. Je considere m'etre assez bon a il. Je suis tout shit pour ecrire mais je suis joli dans la partie de discours.



Ou avez-vous grandi?

[Jason13thh]

I live in Braine L'Alleud ( South of Belgium ) and I have always lived there.
None of my friends really likes the horror genre like me.
Don't take it bad but your french is .... not as good as my german.

[ICP RULZ]

lol,I would never take it the wrong way. I know my french is shit. I am much better at speaking it then writting it. I have always been not so good at writting it.

Peace

The VHS version of Brotherhood of the Wolf also omits a 10 or so minute subplot (about a book) which is another reason to skip it ;)

A couple of great old french horror movies are Les Diaboliques (1955), featuring the obvious inspiration for Columbo! :) and remade badly in 1996 as Diabolique; and Les Yeux Sans Visage aka Eyes Without a Face (1959), which was something of an inspiration for Face/Off ;)

More recently, not particularly scary but fun in a Buffy kind of way is Bloody Mallory - good luck finding it on DVD though! :)

[Salamar]

try LES YEUX SANS VISAGE (eyes without a face) by Georges Franju a pure masterpiece.
Or maybe LES DIABOLIQUE by Henry Georges Clouzot, a great film too!

[Donnie Darko]

Not really horror, but Delicatessen was a great film. More of a black comedy with a bit of sinster viciousness thrown in.

[Jason13thh]

The director of Delicatessen was the same guy of Amelie Poulain ( just info )

[Salamar]

oui Jean Pierre Jeunet est un genie mais il ne faut pas oublier aussi Marc Caro qui a aussi beaucoup travailler sur Delicatessen et surtout sur l'excellent La Cite des Enfants Perdus (un grand film)
Le cinema francais n'est pas vraiment specialise en cinema de genre mais recement ils essayent de faire mieux, Broceliande est un Giallo francais qui vient juste de sortir mais a ce qu'il parrais c'est nul!

En tout cas, je conseille vivement Les Yeux Sans Visage de Franju, c'est un pur chef d'oeuvre!

Ouf!!! ca fait du bien de pouvoir parler francais dans un forum :)

[ICP RULZ]

Oui,sait pas mon langue martenelle mais j'aime parler plus qu'anglais - ma lange martenelle. A propos, je viens de voir la Fraternité des loups. J'ai pensé que c'étais OK, un petite peu long, mais pas trop mauvais.

Paix(Peace)
