Psst! In case you haven’t heard Shudder is highlighting French horror this month.
Yes, you read that right. This month, Shudder puts a spotlight on the bold, visionary horror emerging from France in the twenty-first century, including essential titles from the boundary-pushing wave of films dubbed “New French Extremity.” Including Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury’s Livid (previously unavailable to stream in the US) and Inside; Alexandre Aja’s High Tension, Claire Denis’ Bastards and Trouble Every Day, Lucile Hadzihalilovic’s Evolution, Xavier Gens’ Frontier(s), and Pascal Laugier’s Martyrs, all airing on Shudder US.
Also featured in the collection are Adoration, The Advent Calendar, Among the Living, Brotherhood of the Wolf, Islands, Kandisha, Knife + Heart, Sheitan, The Strange Color of Your Body’s Tears, Let the Corpses Tan, Teddy, Terror Sisters, Them (ils) and Zombi Child, currently available to stream on Shudder.
In case you haven’t watch Alexandre Aja’s High Tension, go watch it immediately. It’s my favorite French horror, and one of my favrorite horror films period.
