Sometimes (and this is my opinion, all right?) the better horror movies come from other countries. If it weren't for Korea and Japan, we wouldn't have GODZILLA or THE RING or THE GRUDGE, to name a few.If it weren't for Spain, we wouldn't have [REC], aka QUARANTINE.
Australia's given us many great classics, including the MAD MAX trilogy, WOLF CREEK, and more.
And I'm not even going to begin to look at the proliferation of excellent horror that's come out of Italy.
Fortunately, France has come to the forefront with some superb horror. The first French horror film I viewed was HIGH TENSION (HAUTE TENSION). You might also check out MARTYRS.INSIDE (A L'INTERIEUR) is similar in that it's shot in French, with English subtitles. And it gives you nightmares.
The story is about a very pregnant woman who is involved in a car wreck, where her husband dies. All she has to keep her going is the pending birth of her baby.When a strange woman shows up at her doorstep, things begin to get bloody as the woman literally tries to carve the baby out of the heroine's belly, and the heroine does everything she can to protect herself and her child.
The horror is very graphic and extreme. The gore effects are superb, and the acting is wholly believable.
My recommendation?
