French film called Alive

Yep this had my vote.
Superbly dark film. Makes you wriggle around on the sofa at the end.
Also The Road is great, though the book is much better (as usual with these things)
Snowtown was a cracker, uncomfortable viewing, challenging and thought provoking. I will look out for Martyrs.

Scandenavian horror (subtitles) set mainly around a grim high-rise, where a girl vampire befriends a bullied boy, and becomes very protective of him. Tremendous ending.

Well done brunswick, I wondered if someone was going to mention it seeing as it was on BBC2 over the weekend.
I'm still thinking about it now. No director had come anywhere near this in depicting post apocalypse. The first 20 minutes of 28 Days Later comes close but the hard reality of EVERYTHING dying on the planet I'd shocking in this film. And who better to lead than Viggo Mortensen?
Charlize Theron's chilling line: " they will catch me and my son, they will rape us, then kill us, then eat us". Just before she commits suicide.

I assume you mean the TV movie from a decade of so back. Excellent and even more chillling because of the matter of fact way that the "final solution" is discussed. Kenneth Branagh is superb, the only thiing that jarred (although he was excellent in his role) was the little guy from Rab C. Nesbitt playing the part of a Nazi scientist I recall.

Brutti, sporchi e cattivi (Ugly, Dirty and Bad) 1976. From IMDB: Four generations of a family live crowded together in a cardboard shantytown shack in the squalor of inner-city Rome. They plan to murder each other with poisoned dinners, arson, etc. The household engages in various forms of sexual idiosyncrasies, land swindles, incest, drugs and adultery.
If you see this film you won't forget it.

Good shout, that is one WEIRD film.
Those horrible faces in the car window proper freaked me out.

No subtitles, it had the 1980's feel to it, didn't feel like it was filmed in 2010 and was pretty good, it's title is slightly different - Let me In
Don't know about the original but its refreshing to watch a film without all the graphic bloody scenes like the swimming pool bit at the end where the action is off camera you just see it from his perspective underwater.
Jack Straw
I look nothing like him!
I was going to suggest this too. Black and white, weird white noise / industrial sound in the background most of the way through. Really surreal.
The meal scene is just so strange. The woman living behind the radiator. I've only seen this once and it was a long time ago, but images are still fresh in my mind.
Highly recommend this.
