Claude Chabrol’s ‘minor’ wartime drama is one of the best movies of its kind I’ve seen. A French town under German rule lies on a river straddling occupied and Vichy territories, and becomes a hotbed of intrigues. Yes, there’s resistance activity, but we also see that most people avoid involvement — and some find ways to profit from the desperation of refugees fleeing the Nazis. It’s a case of small town, everyday terror. The stellar cast is subordinated to the powerful, non-exploitative drama: Jean Seberg, Maurice Ronet, Daniel Gélin, Jacques Perrin & Stéphane Audran. Samm Deighan’s informative commentary is a big +Plus.

Usually when I think of French actress and fashion model Laetitia Casta I tend to picture her with a lot less on, but that's just me. Below you can see the new French one-sheet for Julien Lacombe and Pascal Sid's new French 3D horror 'Behind the Walls' (Aka 'Derriere les murs'). And all I can say is that it's a shame that Casta's own derriere has been covered up on this occassion. Those keen horror-spotters out there will be aware that the image used on the poster is of course taken from a still in the movie we posted up back in January. Thierry Neuvic, Roger Dumas, Jacques Bonnaffe, Anne Benoit, Anne Loiret and Emma Ninucci all co-star. Cast your eyes on the new poster below as well as a sneaky peek at the Laetitia we've all come to appreciate immensely....

And the foreign horror keeps coming on strong with one of the latest entries from France, Behind the Walls (or Derrière les murs), debuting a new trailer. Of course the film will be in 3D, but for now we won't hold that against it.

Behind the Walls, which stars Laetitia Casta and is directed by Pascal Sid and Julien Lacombe, is a 1922-set fantasy thriller about a young novelist. Casta's co-stars include Thierry Neuvic and Roger Dumas.

Synopsis:

Centre of France, 1922. Suzanne, a young novelist lacking inspiration, decides to isolate herself in the countryside to write her new book. As Suzanne discovers a sealed-up room in the basement of her house, she starts writing oddly easily. Visions and nightmares soon strike her while the villagers grow worried as several little girls mysteriously disappear...

Last November we revealed the teaser poster for Julien Lacombe and Pascal Sid's new French 3D horror 'Behind the Walls' (Aka 'Derriere les murs'), and today we're giving you a peek at a trio of new stills from the flick. They give us a glimpse of the gorgeous French actress and fashion model Laetitia Casta (below) in action. Frenchies Thierry Neuvic, Roger Dumas, Jacques Bonnaffe, Anne Benoit, Anne Loiret and Emma Ninucci also star. Check out the new pics and the synopsis below....

Some production art for the upcoming film Behind The Walls 3D has been discovered on the official Facebook page. The artwork is simply stunning, and looks like a trip into a gothic wonderland of horror where everything that creeps also wants to eat little girls, and specters crawl down darkened halls. The film is directed by Pascal Sid and Julien Lacombe and stars Laetitia Casta, Thierry Neuvic, and Roger Dumas. Behind The Walls 3D will be out in France sometime in 2011 and looks like it is definitely one worth peering into the cracks of the wall for. Synopsis: “Centre of France, 1922.

France is well into the process of producing its first ever theatrical movie in 3D and being French its no surprise it’ll be nothing as gauche as a CGI action fest, or a blue skinned aliens for them, instead we have the dark supernatural thriller Derrière les murs (aka ‘Behind The Walls’) - starring Laetitia Casta, Thierry Neuvic and Roger Dumas - to look forward too, from directors Julien Lacombe and Pascal Sid. The movie is still well into post production, so not much to see as yet, but one nugget we’ve found is a first picture from the film. Not a lot to go on granted, but we’re getting a vibe very similar to Alejandro Amenábar’s superb haunted house frightener ‘The Others’ off of this – which is no bad thing if true. Behind The Walls is due to open in France in late spring and...

The stunning-honey French fashion model and actress Laetitia Casta (below) has wrapped her performance in the latest French mystery thriller 'Behind the Walls'. The Julien Lacombe and Pascal Sid helmed (and written) project, which will arrive in 3D, has revealed very 'run-of-the-mill' looking teaser art at this year's American Film Market event. Casta is joined by fellow cast members Thierry Neuvic, Roger Dumas, Jacques Bonnaffe, Anne Benoit, Anne Loiret and Emma Ninucci. You can check out the new art below. 'A period piece set against the backdrop of France in 1922, Casta plays Suzanne, a young novelist lacking inspiration decides to isolate herself in the countryside to write her new book. As Suzanne discovers a sealed-up room in the basement of her house, she starts writing odd prose. Visions and nightmares soon strike her while the villagers grow worried as several little girls mysteriously disappear.'...
