New Wave of French Horror

I saw this interesting article about the new wave of french horror that is coming out.

http://www.greencine.com/central/frenchhorror

It talks about the new school of directors in france that is turning horror on its ears.

give me your take on it

I'm definitely no expert on French horror, but of the three French horror movies I've seen (Inside, Them, High Tension), I've been very impressed. They've all seemed less typical or predictable I guess than many of the American and Asian horror films I've seen. I'm curious to check out the other five films on that list.

SPAM or not, thanks for the rec. I mean, it's sites or mags like these that introduce me into these films (it was Fangoria that sold me on Inside).

I've seen four of the movies listed. And of them, 2 I find to be absolutely amazing (Frontiers and High Tension were a HUGE disappointment... Frontiers was silly; Hostel meets Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets... Nazis... LOL... And High Tensions had some brilliantly brutal parts... but the predictable "twist" was just lame and, ultimately, didn't make sense).

Ils and Inside are utterly brilliant, however, especially the latter.

I'll add the other 4 to my Netflix queue. Always looking for more foreign horror.
