Titane – Not strictly horror, but kind of everything, this movie is dementedly brilliant. It’s of its time, to be sure, but it’s a classic, and I love the thought of that festival crowd trying to make sense of it. Can you believe it? Before Sam Raimi was an A-lister, he was at the fest pushing The Evil Dead upon the world. The Evil Dead – Back in 1981, the original in this franchise played Cannes.

The less you know about The Skin I Live In going in, the better…trust me there. For my money, though, it’s one of his best, bar none. The Cannes Film Festival featured it, and while it got solid reactions, it’s a little under-appreciated in his oeuvre. The Skin I Live In – You might not know it, but Pedro Almodovar directed a pretty gnarly horror movie. Martyrs is divisive, but it’ll leave you wanting to talk about it, that’s for sure… Does that take away from the visuals and the unique discussions it can generate? Absolutely not. Can it be a little pretentious, when not being an incredibly violent movie? Yes. Martyrs – A gory yet oddly profound French fright flick, it did seem oddly at home at the Cannes Film Festival. As an added bonus, of everything on this list, Green Room is the most fun of the lot, in addition to being one of the best. Especially these days, the scenario is terrifyingly plausible. The horror is based in a fairly real fear, which makes the tension all the more palpable. Green Room is an amazingly accomplished example of that. Green Room – Jeremy Saulnier knows atmosphere. In the case of Irreversible, if you know why it’s so terrifying…you know. Irreversible – One of the hardest films to watch in cinematic history, Gaspar Noé truly pushed the envelope here with something that’s not traditional horror, but is nonetheless horrific. If you haven’t seen It Follows yet, rectify that immediately! I love it and it is one of the more inspired Cannes selections, regardless of genre. With a star-making turn from Maika Monroe and an amazing amount of metaphorical creativity, this is an utter gem. It Follows – One of the best horror films of the past 30 years, It Follows is a masterpiece of atmosphere and dread from David Robert Mitchell. Here are seven of the best fright flicks that played Cannes: Now, we can get on to the list, which is a pretty diverse lineup, if I do say so myself, including one brand new inclusion from last year… Other titles that just missed the cut include Antichrist, The House That Jack Built, The Lighthouse, The Neon Demon, Train to Busan, and Zombi Child. A special citation goes out to Parasite, which isn’t quite horror, but would have topped this list if I had included it. Below, you’ll see a half dozen recommended titles to pop in today that have a Cannes pedigree. Even this year, Cannes opened with horror in Final Cut. For decades, the fest has had scary movies of the finest ilk playing. Normally, that sort of connotation excludes horror from the equation, but Cannes is a unique beast. Like I wrote last year, it’s without question the most prestigious film festival in the world. So, let us continue on with another installment of the Awards Radar Sunday Scaries!įolks, at the moment we are knee-deep in the 2022 Cannes Film Festival. Now, we want you think about a horror-centric piece on the site when you hear the term. However, we at Awards Radar are here to combat that, by taking back the name.
Anxiety about work manifests itself into a feeling that’s known as the Sunday Scaries. The Sunday Scaries are upon us once again! Yes, as the weekend concludes, most of us feel an oncoming sense of anticipatory dread about the week ahead.
