I have no idea although, you might want to ask this question in CZAR's horror thread as well.

Irreversable

I don't know how obscure they are but Martyrs, Inside, and High Tension are all watchable.

thedarkangel1975 · 11-21-2011, 04:35 PM

High Tension and Brotherhood of the Wolf

Toster1983 · 11-21-2011, 04:45 PM

Calvaire (The Ordeal), pays homage to films like Deliverance and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

So far so good! Thanks!

Great recommendations that I would definitely endorse. I would add that Irreversible isn't necessarily a horror movie, but it is definitely horrific. There are two scenes in it that are as hard to watch as anything I've ever seen in any movie horror or not.

Sheitan
Frontier(s)
Ils (Them)

Eyes Without a Face is the first thing that came to mind.

-À L'Intérieur (Inside) one of my favorite movie EVER period...

-Haute Tension (High Tension) also one of my favorite movie... Cecile De France's breaking role...

-Sheitan (Sheitan) Vincent Cassel my favorite actor is in this one.. an awesome low budget horror movie... really good...

-Frontière (s) (Frontiers) ok flick, the movie was hyped during the release.. was a bit of a letdown.. could have been awesome .. still worth a watch...

-La Horde (The Horde) a great zombie movie, very unique IMO...

I hated Martyrs and Ils (Them) and I don't think Brotherhood of the Wolves and Irreversible are horror movies... still Vincent Cassel is in both of them, they are great movies!! Irreversible is disturbing !!!

not sure why you are looking for French Horror not on BD so I am not sure if this fits. But I really enjoyed

5150, Rue des Ormes http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1331291/

It is a Quebec movie filmed in the French language and is available on either DVD or BD (at least here). I would also classify it more of a thriller.

A college film student, is recording something in a park at the end of a cul de sac, he gets on his bike to go back home but falls and gets his hands bloody and wants to clean them, unfortunately for him the owner at 5150 elm street is at home. He asks if he can go in and wash his hands, but after washing them (and while the owner is on the phone) he hears some odd sounds from the second floor and goes to see what they are.

that is the set-up for the film, I won't give anything else away

Nielsb90 · 11-23-2011, 08:34 AM

High Tension (love it)
Frontier(s) (good movie)
Inside
Martyrs (haven't seen these two but I've heard they are great!)
Ils (Them - decent but didn't love it)

.... hmmmmm all I can think of right now..

sgsalt · 11-23-2011, 08:50 AM

I'd go with previous recommendations: Martyrs, Inside, High Tension, La Horde and Frontiers which are all very good.

I would also add Les 7 jours du talion (7 Days) which is a very strong French-Canadian revenge film.
