I'm with ChronoGrl on this one.

Me & my girl loved Eden Lake. It was a nice break from all the "ghost stories and zombie killers". Ils and Inside are both great french horror movies, with that realistic vibe which you request.

Timber Falls however was a mixed bag for me. A bit out there, but still worth watching.

I would fit The Strangers in here as well, which is also great.

Just watched The Girl Next Door. Might be right up the same alley, regarding that whole realism thing.

Watching this again - still love - main characters are still dumb :-)

I liked it but the ending was unsatisfying for me as I previously said in the last seen movies thread

You definally have some point there - I liked the ending but as you said it was a bit of a stretch. There were faults in it but over I did love it - I think its one of those films that really makes you think about what you'd do that that situation..

i really liked Eden Lake. i was surprised that some people really hated this flick (different thread). Yeah, there were a couple of unrealistic reactions here and there, but overall it was fine. Loved the ending.

The Ordeal/Calvaire is in a whole different class. It sorta starts out slow, but the raw tension that it creates during this lag is almost a welcomed relief as you just know things are gunna get really rugged soon. Ashe.
