English language film has long been a place for some of the greatest horror film directors of all time. All the way back to Alfred Hitchcock, we have seen the genre grow and develop sub-genres, thanks to the public’s ongoing thirst for fear and the possibility of danger around every turn. But, for every Saw or Hostel or terrible remake of classic English-language horror films, there are inventive, terrifying films made somewhere else that inspire and even outdo many of our best Western world horror films. This list will count down the fifty definitive horror films with a main language that isn’t English; some may have some English-language parts in them, but they are, for the most part, foreign. Enlighten yourself. Broaden your horizons. People can get murdered and tortured in every language.

Critics will not be able to see love story that features the king and queen of French cinema

The organisers of the Cannes festival have a habit each year of selecting one film with unusually explicit sexual or violent content. Last year Lars von Trier's Antichrist caused outrage with its portrayal of sadistic and masochistic acts, and in 2004 the British director Michael Winterbottom shocked audiences with his erotic romance, 9 Songs. Two years earlier Gaspar Noé pushed back the boundaries at the festival with Irréversible, which featured a prolonged rape scene. This year, in contrast, the festival is accused of deliberately keeping the most provocative French film of the season out of all its selected screenings.

Émilie (Julie Gayet) and Gabriel (Michaël Cohen) have just had a lovely evening together: it didn’t start out romantic, just one stranger doing a favor for another, but it’s threatening to end that way when he requests a good-night kiss from her. She must refuse, because she and Gabriel are both already involved with others, and a similar simple kiss caused enormous trouble for two of her friends. This charming and tender and wisely funny movie shifts then to Émilie’s tale of Judith (Virginie Ledoyen: Bon Voyage) and Nicolas (writer-director Emmanuel Mouret), best platonic friends whose relationship becomes something more when he starts having trouble with his sex life and looks to her for a jump-start cure. Can friends become lovers? Of course they can... but what if one of them is already spoken for? Here’s a romantic comedy like Woody Allen might make if he...
