I like French films. I do. But I hate French horror. It is oftentimes too contrived with plots that attempt political commentary but never succeed in making an actual point. Frontier(s) has weird Nazi overtones that are never quite developed and an irritating mimicking quality (see The Texas Chainsaw Massacre). High Tension is one of only two movies that made me yell “Bullshit!” aloud in the theater. (Seriously, have you seen that ending?) And then, of course, Them was just average.

I doubt even more that anyone would even pick up a DVD titled Cheezy Horror, and if you’re like me, the tagline, “Some of the Cheesiest Horror Trailers of All Time,” will bury this before you even press play. Since I was bored, I counted the word “Cheesy” appears 14 times in various derivatives on the packaging, a word which makes the bile rise in the back of my throat.
Despite all that, there are some fun trailers here that, unless you’re a decade older than me, you’ve never seen before, ranging from Vincent Price’s The Tingler to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
