Yes. Too cruel. Too real, if you get my meaning.

The "problem" for me is that I'm not a huge fan of the backwoods torture genre... Not really a dis on the film, I guess, just not my bag.

Of the aforementioned films, I would say that Inside was really the only one that I "liked," again based on the genre. As for the others:

• Martyrs - Amazing movie... Just made me so incredibly depressed - I can't think of another movie that I've seen that has made me feel that... hopeless and in despair. Seriously... Ick...
• Haute Tension (/High) - INCREDIBLE movie... Up until the end. One of the worst endings in movie history.ever. (ok, probably an over-statement, but I really liked the first part of the movie so much that the fact that the ending completely
• Irreversible - To be honest, based on reading about this movie, I don't think I'll be able to watch it, but quite a lot of people have reviewed it well

My opinion

1. À l’intérieur (Inside)
2.Haute Tension (/High)
3. Irreversible
4. Martyrs
5. Frontier(s)


Inside also being the goriest

although the fire extinguisher scene in Irreversible was enough to put that close to the top

high tension is incredible. its reminds me of dean koontz book called Intensity. i just started Irreversible. Its pretty gay so far. Literally.

edit. ive got 30 minutes left and to be honest. its not very good. the "revenge" was short, the rape was boring. i feel like im watching someones saturday night. it sucks.

the girl is fucking sexy though. fuck, id prolly rape her too. haha

I adored Haute Tension and Irreversible for me those are amazing films.
I hated Martyrs cos of the second half as I've said before.

Will see Inside soon looking forward to it-not so Frontiers. An older French film people may like is The Living Dead Girl.

Because it was based on the first half of that book.

o i c. that would make sense.

There's a made for cable version starring John McGinty that sticks closer to the source material and adapts the whole book. It's in two parts.

But it isn't better..

I didn't say it was.
