Hi friends, thank you for those who politely corrected me in the comments, I make a major boo boo putting Man Bites Dog in here, although the film is in French it’s from Belgium. My apologies. Appreciate you correcting me when I make these mistakes. 🤘🏼

Man Bites Dog (definitely among the absolute best found footage/mockumentary genre as well) is such a great and raw film, Emma, let's just say it's an honorary entry on the list 😊😀

I was gonna say wait where is AntiChrists because I always assumed it was a french film because everything about it is similar to the themes and filming styles of french extremity films and because well Charlotte Gainsbourg is like the french macabre queen! But since it is not I'm wondering now have you covered AntiChrists and if so which category of film did you or would you put it in?

@martinlarrivee5081 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Emma! No need to apologize. Your list is very good and you make a real effort to write the original title. It's not a big thing. 7 Days is not a "French" film, it's french canadian, from Quebec, just up north the US. We have great filmmakers but we are not known for horror. So I would say it's more an anomaly than being part of the French extreme wave. In that regard I feel Man bites Dog feels more "french" than 7 days.

Well none of those countries can quite top French Extremity or the french disturbing macabre. The French cinema is a beast at this genre and while Spain, Portugal, India etc might have a few films that can match to the french extremity category its simply not enough. France has not only earned it but created this category. Just like japan will always have the owned the category of many of the world's scariest most original horror films ever seen that can be remade but never duplicated well France is the same way in the disturbing/extreme category.

@eelenseth 3 жыл бұрын

I have to agree with you, this is often something that annoys me when people talk about “French” films. Are we talking country or language? There’s so many Belgian films with French dialogue, but automatically everyone thinks it’s a film out of France. Upsetting tbh.

I’m sorry, I’ll look into this. I also included Canada so it’s not limited to the country but yes sorry they were listed as French extremity in my research

@@eelenseth Blame IMDB, Calvaire, for some reason in the plot keywords it says "French Horror" and "French Shock Cinema", the same with C'est arrivé pres de chez vous, IMDB Plot Keywords "French Cinema" it's confusing for non natives. I only knew because there were Belgian Films featured in Belgian Cinema Discovery at The Glasgow Film Festival in Scotland. I also saw Welp which in Australia and US etc is called Cub, English Title.

It's a shame we don't get more exposure to Cinema from Belgium and The Netherlands, I've mostly only seen movies that have been screened at Film Festivals in the UK. I think what Emma was trying to do or meaning was to highlight Films in the French language she doesn't say Extremely French Horror films from France. On a lighter note have you ever heard someone speak Fluent French with a thick Scottish/Glaswegian accent? That's me LOL.

I don’t think the ending deserves the hate it gets because on second viewing there were so many little Easter eggs for the unfolding of the ending I didn’t pick up the first time! it’s honestly one of my favourite movies.🥰

Incident at Ghostland is actually a really tragic film. The whole crew got sued (director, producer) because the blonde girl's face got split open during a scene where a mirror breaks, and it LITERALLY ruined her life and career. What is even worse is, they kept the scene in the film AND a great many people think the box art (even though it is not same girl) is sort of playing up the actresses injury (as the poster is a picture of a girl with literally, a split face). Adds some real darkness to an already messed up flick.

@markalexander3659 2 жыл бұрын

I've never forgotten Irreversible for 3 key reasons. The first is I can't even begin to guess how they did the practical effects for the fire extinguisher scene, you see every hit and the face gradually collapse and disintegrate without the camera ever panning away or cuts. Insane. The second is actually a mistake. A crew member ACCIDENTALLY walked into how during the tunnel scene, realised his mistake, and quickly exited the way he had entered. It made the already brutal scene even more impactful because what we see is a bystander walk in on the rape and rather than help in any way, just leave. This was early enough that she could have definitely survived has he intervened. The third is just the final message - LE TEMPS DETRUIT TOUT - which translated as "time destroys everything" or "time destroys all things"....like a decade later I still think of that quote sometimes because it is so depressingly true. There is nothing in this Universe that will not be eventually destroyed by time, including the actual Universe itself.

Thanks Emma for putting this list together. While extreme films are not really my genre (as you know), I was surprised that there were a few films that I had seen (and enjoyed) like Man Bites Dog, Martyrs, Climax, High Tension and my favorite of your list Them/Ils. POSSIBLE SPOILER (TRYING TO BE VAGUE): I will say that I was impressed by the twist of High Tension. While it doesn't fully make sense when you recall certain early scenes, the third act does make sense from its true perspective. High Tension is also one of the most brutal and bloody films I've ever since. After 15 years, I still remember certain scenes.

Also that scene in Frontiers when they are in the tunnel trying to escape freaks me the fuck out

I love your videos. Can you add the movie titles in your description? Or maybe I’m missing them somewhere.

Hey! The reason I don’t do this is because then people don’t actually watch a video, if I did this I’d be better off doing a blog.

Excellent list Emma... I have almost all of these on DVDs or Blu-ray. But I am sad that you left off the films that lie at the roots of the French horror, namely Eyes Without A Face/Les Yeux Sans Visage from 1960 and DIabolique 1955, which influenced Psycho. I first saw Les Yeux Sans Visage in 1990 in New York among an ultra hip audience. There were screams and laughter at the same time. I just know you haven't seen this yet... Why? Another film that would fit is Baby Blood (1990). Also 13 Tzameti. But no Eyes Without A Face? My head is buried in my hands. (Until you finally see it.) Thanks Emma.

Man Bites Dog, Eyes Without a Face and Irreversible for me...that being said they are all in my 20 favourite films of all time! Really want to watch Martyrs but just struggling to get my hands on it currently ☹

oliver hyde Martyrs is on Shudder (at least it is in Canada, not sure if it’s different in other countries). I also love Eyes Without a Face!

@@toxicsugarart2103 I have Shudder via the Amazon app & it's not available there for me. I have only ever seen it as VOD here in California, at least a year or two. I'd love to stream it though.
