New French Horror to shock the audience

The core of the horror film has always been one of evolution and innovation. (Read the following: Hollywood) from black and white masterpiece of Hitchcock's Psycho, in more modern pieces such as the Scream series, North America has always been at the forefront of the horror field.

But in recent years are independent of foreign horror films were detergent on the coast of America and treat the audience with a truly new and terrifying experience, the French, in particular, are noware considered cutting edge with their new favorite style of horror.

The new wave of French horror has been classified as a "splatter film, or more colloquially the film internet forum as" torture porn ", because of their incredibly graphic and violent content, the public is to be able to shock even the most insensitive . These films are full of all kinds of chaos and carnage, and tried to push the envelope away as a film.

The following are some of theFrench cinema's most popular splatter.

(1) Haute Tension, 2003 (HV)
The first of the modern line-up of splatter films, High Voltage, Alexandre Aja shocked the audience with its graphic nature directly, as two female leads were pursued by a serial killer with a single program. aka Switchblade Romance in the UK, this film was heavily edited to avoid the NC-17 rating in America.

(2) Borders, 2007 (Borders)
Xavier Gens' film, the border is achaotic and disturbing experience, as three young thieves try to themself hole in an abandoned building, only to find that, by a gang of sadistic, neo-Nazi followers was inhabited. This film is not for the faint of heart.

(3) A l'interieur, 2007 (Inside)
Alexandre Bustillo's Inside is a claustrophobic and menacing film, the making of his much lauded with so little. Contain only two main characters and a handful of extras have this film wasone of the best kind of splatter. No summary can be given without the spoiler, unfortunately.

(4) martyr, 2008
The latest in the line of the new wave of French horror Martyrs Pascal Laugier. Since its launch at the Cannes Film Festival has been hailed by critics, and management to a new audience for this new kind of draw. You will be advised, this film is incredibly disturbing to see, with violent scenes that are not easily forgotten.You have been warned.

This new type of "button" French horror film is definitely a great success at international level. Some wonder if the super-violent nature of the film is too much for the American public, while others argue that these films open new doors for the creation of thought and innovation into a genre little tiring. In one way or another, but they are definitely something completely unique, easy, and after reading (or all) of the films mentioned above, there is a realestimate of value on how far to go to the cinema, and how the public can be pushed.

Superman Returns (Widescreen Edition)

Superman Returns (Widescreen Edition) Review

What I like about this Superman is he captures that awkward brilliance that was Christopher Reeves - even kinda looks like him!
But whereas the movie starts strong and makes us feel very exhilarated, the latter half of the movie falls flat.
Gene Hackman played a Lex Luthor that you would despise yet also laugh off and laugh at. He wasn't a nemesis that you would fear, like the new Batman's Heath Ledger's Joker. In the first Christopher Reeve's Superman, it was all about Superman, and Reeves carried the whole film. For some reason, I didn't feel Brandon Routh's Superman carried the film, and worse yet, I didn't feel Kevin Spacey's Lex Luthor had that Hackman magnetism.
I guess in the end, although this is the "New," it's just not the same - it doesn't carry the same magic feeling.
Hopefully the next one will delve deeper into the character, but just not on the superficial level.
To me, the most "human" film of all the superhero movies is the Spiderman trilogy, and I think since Superman can be a really deep character to explore into, hopefully it will develop into more of that direction, than the usual Hollywood blockbuster movie devoid of any real story and character development.
I enjoyed it, but it's not on the same level as the new Spiderman and Batman (even the new (Edward Norton's) Hulk has better character development).

Superman Returns (Widescreen Edition) Overview

He's back. A hero for our millennium. And not a moment too soon, because during the five years (much longer in movie-fan years!) Superman sought his home planet, things changed on his adopted planet. Nations moved on without him. Lois Lane now has a son, a fiance and a Pulitzer for "Why the World Doesn't Need Superman." And Lex Luthor has a plan that will destroy millions - no, billions - of lives. Filmmaker Bryan Singer (X-Men) gives the world the Superman it needs, honoring the legend everyone loves while taking it in a powerful new direction. Brandon Routh proves a perfect choice to wear the hero's cape, leading a top cast that includes Kate Bosworth as Lois and Kevin Spacey as Lex. And the thrills - from a sky-grapple with a tumbling jumbo jet to a continent-convulsing showdown - redefine Wow. "I'm always around," Superman tells Lois. You'll be glad he is.

Superman Returns (Widescreen Edition) Specifications

If Richard Donner's 1978 feature film Superman: The Movie made us believe a man could fly, Bryan Singer's 2006 follow-up, Superman Returns, lets us remember that a superhero movie can make our spirits soar. Superman (played by newcomer Brandon Routh) comes back to Earth after a futile five-year search for his destroyed home planet of Krypton. As alter ego Clark Kent, he's eager to return to his job at the Daily Planet and to see Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth). Lois, however, has moved on: she now has a fiancé (James Marsden), a son (Tristan Leabu), and a Pulitzer Prize for her article entitled "Why the World Doesn't Need Superman." On top of this emotional curveball, his old archrival Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey) is plotting the biggest land grab in history.

Singer, who made a strong impression among comic-book fans for his work on the X-Men franchise and directed Spacey in The Usual Suspects, brings both a fresh eye and a sense of respect to the world's oldest superhero. He borrows John Williams's great theme music and Marlon Brando's voice as Jor-El, and the story (penned by Singer's X-Men collaborators Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris) is a sort-of-sequel to the first two films in the franchise (choosing to ignore that the third and fourth movies ever happened). The humorous and romantic elements give the movie a heart, Singer's art-deco Metropolis is often breathtaking, and the special effects are elegant and spectacular, particularly an early airplane-disaster set-piece. Of the cast, Routh is excellent as the dual Superman/Clark, Spacey is both droll and vicious as Luthor, and Parker Posey gets the best lines as Luthor's moll Kitty. But at 23, Bosworth seems too young for the five-years-past-grizzled Lois. It's nice to see Noel Neill, Jack Larson (both from the classic Adventures of Superman TV series), and Eva Marie-Saint on the screen as well. Superman Returns is one of those projects that was in development for seemingly forever, but it was worth the wait -- it's the most enjoyable superhero movie since Spider-Man 2 and The Incredibles. --David Horiuchi
