There was a string of films to come out of France that sought to redefine brutality, intensity, and terror. These movies included
High Tension,
Frontier(s),
Sheitan, and
Martyrs. Each one was more intense than the one that preceded it. It was almost as if each successive filmmaker was attempting to outdo the one that came immediately before it. I am not sure if this trend continues but Martyrs was the epitome of the cycle that I saw, although there was one that I may have liked better. That movie was
À l'intérieur (aka
Inside). Of course, these movies would be targeted for an American remake. The trailer for Inside has arrived.
