Ils (THEM)
 
I just watched Ils (aka, in English, THEM).

This was an incredibly well-done home invasion/slasher film. Good use of light dark, and suspense.

The US trailer can be found here.

Has anyone else seen this film? This honestly would make it into my Top 10 List of 2007 and I highly recommend it, especially if you're looking for a good suspenseful film.

I give it an A-/A
My boyfriend gives is a B+/A-

Definitely check it out when you get a chance.

That was the hardest I've gripped my poor boyfriend's hand in a long time... while watching a movie. ;)

Never seen it, never heard of it.

But I have now added it to my Netflix queue. :)

This has been in my Netflix queue since it came out, but it had a wait. Should be getting it later this week now. It has 4 1/2 stars on Netflix which is impressive.

Papillon Noir 04-22-2008 09:26 AM

Here's the trailer for it if anyone hasn't seen it yet.

The movie actually made me jump and clutch my poor boyfriend's hand... It's been a since a horror movie had really made me jump. I can't express how incredibly well-made it is.

Well, I definitely recommend seeing the original Romanian film.

Also - I'm a HUGE fan of home invasion films and watching this movie reminded that I'm not sure that I've even seen very many in the genre.

My top Home Invasion Films:
  • Halloween (if it could be called that)
  • Black Christmas (the original)
  • Ils (as of now)

What other horrific home invasion films are there out there? There's The Strangers, which is still pending (and I'm ridiculously excited about), but what about stuff that's already been released? What would you guys characterize and suggest in that genre?

wait until dark

Fear- though maybe that's more of a stalker movie...

neverending 04-23-2008 05:55 PM

I guess Dead Calm could be a "home invasion" movie- only it's on a boat. Very suspenseful though.

I did see ILS and I did enjoy it.

Sounds worth a rent.

roshiq 04-25-2008 10:01 PM

A pretty decent thriller. Worth a watch.

One of the best foreign movies i have seen for a while.brilliant story and superbly acted and its all true.
The wording that comes up on screen at the end is a real scary example of where this world is heading.
Brilliant and a must see.:)

GorePhobia 05-14-2008 12:06 AM

Sounds like an interesting flick.

I don't have NetFlix so I can't rent it or whatnot so if and when I get around to seeing it I shall do so.

Ferox13 05-14-2008 12:55 AM

Going to watch it tonight with a 6 pack I'll report back.

Watched Frontiers last night and loved it..

gracie 05-14-2008 02:44 PM

Yeah I saw it the other day now. Really well done movie. More a "boo" movie than a gory movie. Worth the watch.
Oh and the French actress in the movie is absoutley stunning looking. Looks a bit like Jennifer Connelly.

This sounds great I'll have to get my hands on a copy.
