FINAL GIRL explores the slasher flicks of the '70s and '80s...and all the other horror movies I feel like talking about, too. This is life on the EDGE, so beware yon spoilers!

awesome movie poster friday- the NOUVEAU CINEMA FRANCAIS edition!
Have you ever seen Calvaire?! So weird. So mean-spirited. So bizarrely homo(erotic?). So French. So much like a hundred other movies but still different. ...and then there's that fucking dance!!
Seeing as there's quite the residue of French fare - poster-wise, I figured I'd recommend one more. If you haven't (which you may have all ready) seen The Evil Inside - or Baby Blood - you may enjoy it. It's got that lovely French double threat of blood and sensuality.
Hell yeah, bring on the Gallic Grue! You even found a couple of Haute Tension and Frontiere(s) posters I'd never seen before. Can't wait to see Martyrs (I do love a good cinematic pummeling) and Vinyan, which is from Fabrice Du Welz, who did the superbly-creepy/previously-mentioned Calavaire. Have you seen Sheitan yet? I kinda loved it.
Throwing in my two cents to add I loved Them and Inside. I own Haute Tension, but have yet to sit down and watch it. My Netflix queue is chockful of (hopefully) good stuff.
Question: Is Switchblade Romance an alternate title for Haute Tension?
I wake up to my High Tension poster every morning, and every morning it makes me happy.
Admittedly, I like the poster more than the movie itself, but don't let that worry you--the movie's still great. I just have an (unhealthy?) affection for girls with power tools.

Oooh who's the High Tension chick?
I loved Ils (Them) so much. Thought it was really creepy. Haute Tension was pretty cool too. Haven't seen the others.
Great collection. "Frontiers" was one of the best movies I saw all year.- Unk L

SikeChick: Yes, it is.
I have yet to see Inside cause it's not out in Denmark yet, But maybe I'll consider ordering that region 2 version with the swedish subtitles.
and Stacy, Your blog is full with goodies, Thanks.
