New Wave of French Horror

Ok, I really liked High Tension, Irreversable, Sheitan and The Ordeal. Other than those, and some cool serial killer films, what else is available in the way of good French horror films?

Inside and Them - New French horror films

There are two new French horror films that apparently are very very good. The first one is called Inside
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldUsz12kSQU
They say it is the most brutal horror film since High Tension (another classic french flick) and is pretty damm scary.
The second is called Them
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFTbcDRkG1o
Again they say its pretty damm scary. I know its not "new" but I have yet so catch up with it.
So im off to find some releases for these movies but if anyone has seen them leave some feedback.

I haven't seen Inside but I didn't think much of Them... Really sleep inducing. Although judging by High Tension, the french know how to make a good horror flick. And I know it's not horror, but the Piano Teacher is a monumentally fucked up movie.

I really liked Inside (which was much better and actually more brutal than High Tension) which I've been referring it since it came out. Them is in my netflix queue and I think it was just added to watch it now...

More brutal than High Tension? Wow, I'll have to look out for that.

Theres another one on the way, slightly sci-fci called Eden Log. Theres a trailer on the site

Looks very interesting. I would have to say the French Movie industry is doing very well. Not just in the Horror genre but action also.
