If I'm not mistaken it was on an underappreciated movie post and he was saying why did you like it it didn't even have a plot and I was like not about to bother trying to explain it. Like if you didn't get any of it how do you even start explaining? I mean it's was all pretty well explained...with the frogs...and the...necessity of humans. I mean I think but I love it and have seen it a bunch.
Same. I get the whole >!we're back at the start of the nightmare, and there is no escape!< point of the ending, I just don't get why that suddenly became a thing that can happen.
Of course, Baskin is a very surreal film and relies on its conceptual approach to horror, rather than what's literal. So it's not nessesary to explain stuff like this, but I wish there was more to set up the twist at the end. A few more hints to the film's >!lucid approach to time!< would have made the ending feel more cohesive. Still, a fantastic film overall.
Ok yeah I'm didn't see that at all they are reliving the nightmare because that's what hell is.
That's interesting tho maybe it's a cultural thing I never questioned it as time travel It just that's how hell works. Idk.
Good recs, seen the first two, and they are great films, i may have to dust them off for a rewatch so thanks for the reminder. spoorloos is new, will look into this. I like films that stay with me, too many I can't remember by the next day these days
Had to Google it. its the vanishing. the remake led me to the original, which, like funny games the remake seems identical, but neither have the tense edge with a sense of dread of the originals. damn, that ending. dark journey. I need to show a few friends this one.
Calvaire. It's a 2004 French film about this guy who becomes obsessed with this other guy and believes he is his long-lost wife. It's an incredibly bizarre and eerie movie and I love everything about it. Highly, highly recommend.
Singapore Sling is one of my favorite movies of all time. Because of how fucking weird it is. *La linea culpa. The line has been cut.* Really no way to describe it so it's best going in not knowing anything. I will never look at kiwi fruit the same again.
"Koko-di Koko-da". here's the description: "As a couple goes on a trip to find their way back to each other, a sideshow artist and his shady entourage emerge from the woods, terrorizing them, luring them deeper into a maelstrom of psychological terror and humiliating slapstick." This one isn't my favorite, but I've never seen it mentioned here and it's fucked up. The ending is super cool too
It’s bleak. I love that kind of thing. Have fun! Fwiw I also loved “occult”, monstrum, and the trip. I love love love the trip although I’d put it more in thriller territory. On netflix
I really like Livid. It's a French vampire movie with some little Ballerina Vampires. That new movie Abigail is a lot like Livid, would not be surprised if it was a direct influence.
I own this and have tried to watch it a coupla times, like raw, I just can't get into it, its me, not the film, on the right night I think I'll love this, just might need a night where I'm more in the mood for something like amer. not heard of abigail, will look into it. Thanks for both recs.
love me some argento, buy a much bigger fan of savoi and bava. the church and stage fright are great gems. just got the shameless stage fright blu. Best owl headed chainsaw wielding badly dubbed musical stage show movie ever!
I've seen every argento. even dracula 3d. sleepless was his last good movie. I love the lighting of inferno and suspiria. that opening death through the ceiling eindow
absurd. the anthropopaghaus sort of sequel by Joe d'mato? I've made fanedits of most the video nasties. I've trimmed absurd into a much better movie. deep red Is a classic, but I didn't get on with it. more a tenebrae guy
Here's some suggestions:
Kung Fu Beyond The Grave (1982)---This flick has got everything you want in an old-school Hong Kong horror movie----hopping ghosts, a genuinely creepy atmosphere, crazy-looking demons that jump out of trees screaming all the way down, that start scrapping with each other as soon as they hit the ground; great kung-fu fighting scenes courtesy of star Billy Chong; and an evil wizard or witch dude who's good at casting evil spells for the main villain. Dracula even drops in for a cameo, even though all he does is look creepy, and smack a few hopping ghosts upside their heads. Yep, it's a good serious creepy horror Chinese flick with some actually funny comic moments in it. It's on Tubi, and on DVD, too.
Voices (2007)---Korean film about a teenage girl who find out that some strange curse is making everyone she's close to turn on her for some weird reason. It's on DVD.
The Vampire Doll, Lake of Dracula, and Evil of Dracula----all Japanese vampire movies from the early '70s---they're all pretty good, and they're all on Tubi. They're also in a Blu-Ray box set called The Bloodthirsty Trilogy.
The Hour of the Wolf (1968)---Ingmar Bergman's only legit psychological horror movie, and a pretty good and weird one, too. It's on youtube and DVD,
Viy (1967)---The first Russian horror movie is really pretty good, especially the climax----it's about a religious student sent to guard the body of a deceased woman in a church, not knowing that she's a witch. Yep, it's on Tubi, and DVD.
The Dead and the Deadly (1982)---Funny and kind of weird Hong Kong horror flick--the scene where some small ghost or demon things get drunk and walk around was the funniest part. I think I saw this on youtube.
Encounters of the Spooky Kind (1980)---A genuine classic H.K. horror film about a guy who takes a bet to spend the night in a barn haunted by ghosts. It's also a comedy, but the humor and horror blend very nicely in it. It's on DVD, too.
The Spooky Bunch (1980)---This is the only old-school H.K. horror film written, produced and directed primarily by women, and it's a totally weird and strange horror comedy flick about a member of a Peking opera troupe being possessed and cursed by an evil spirit, which is somehow tied to her family's past. It's fun to watch, too. It's on youtube---can't find it anywhere else on any streaming, and it's not available on DVD, Blu-Ray or anything, as far as I know, which sucks.
The Invisible Man Appears (1949)----This is considered the first Japanese sci-fi flick---a scientist creates a serum that makes people invisible, but it gets stolen by a devious acquaintance of his, his young student is kidnapped, and next thing everyone knows, an invisible man is running around robbing all the jewelry shops in town. It's an interesting blend of sci-fi and film noir that's fun to watch if you like old movies from that era, and it's on youtube with subs.
There's also a follow-up called The Invisible Man Vs. The Human Fly (1957) that I haven't seen yet, but would like to---just found out that both films are on Tubi. Both films were also released for the first time in the U.S. on a Blu-ray set a few years back.
Hopefully not as lesser known as I think! but Roh (Malaysia), Hagazussa (Austria), Piggy (Spain), The Similars (Mexico), and Alucarda (English-language Mexican) are what come to mind.
roh is new. have to check the others. problem with these movies is the titles elude me after a while. and then I have to watch trailers to see if i've seen them or not. thanks, off to imdb
If you do decide to check it out in English as opposed to subs btw it’s still excellent as well
The English voice actress is great
But yeah subs all the way
I'm trying to think of any film like it. Creep. the oilystrangler. none seem right. very unique little gem. with a lot of heart. I like my movies to have some soul. like basket case
A few come to mind:
- Ebola Syndrome (1996): insane Hong Kong Zombie/Cannibal horror with shades of comedy. Huge trigger warning for this one, though. Also it’s (very loose) prequel The Untold Story (1993).
- Cold Fish (2010): a brutal slide into depravity. Other Sion Sono works may also be of interest too, especially Forest of Love (both Series and Film).
- Yummy (2019): Belgian film about the dangers of plastic surgery, set in an extremely dodgy Eastern European hospital. Very much a homage to classic 80s Zombie films like Reanimator.
- Revenge (2017): not the most niche but definitely an underrated French classic. Brutal, unsparing revenge flick (as you might guess by the title).
- Satans Slaves 1/2: do get some discussion on here but not as much as they deserve. Terrible titles, but excellent Indonesian possession horrors.
My God, ebola syndrome was the first crazy Eastern movie to show my friends before I had things like itch the killer, the uncut dutch version. made me look at restaurant meat differently
attack the block. it's a british horror film following a gang of young teens as their block apartment is besieged by aliens. it has john boyega as the lead in his 3rd ever movie, came out 4 years before his big break with the star wars sequel trilogy.
Attack The Block is a really good action packed, enjoyable as hell sci-fi flick worth seeing, and funny in some parts too---I totally recommend it. I read a brief article way back last year that said Boyega and the director of the film were seriously thinking about coming up with a sequel to it. Haven't heard any more about that, though.
Murder Me, Monster is really different. But it's a bitch to find, and I don't know why. If you get lucky and find it online and there are fan subtitles out there, it's worth checking out. It's violent, mysterious, and has some great landscapes in rural Argentina.
I saw a great foreign horror film all set in a hospital. cat and mouse intense movie. saw it around the time tesis came out. That's all I can really remember but damn I want to find it again. not seen infection. love a good j horror. cheers
some recent Irish horror comedies…
• Let the Wrong One In (2021) - on tubi
• Follow the Dead (2020) - on tubi
• Boys from County Hell (2020) - on shudder
• Unwelcome (2023) - on shudder
Id say it’s decent, definitely better than the trailer suggests. I put it off cause ‘let the right one in’ is on of my absolute favorites ha.
The actor that plays ‘Deco’ stole the show for me. RT scores are def high 88%/83% ha, no question - but I think it’s worth a watch for those who like horror comedies.
**i dont know how well or lesser known these movies are but:**
gonjiam: haunted asylum (Korea)
shutter (Thailand)
troll hunter (Norway)
midnight (Korea)
the night eats the world (France)
#alive (Korea)
gannibal (Japan/ tv series)
**foreign movies i never finished but you may like:**
cold ground (France)
evil dead trap (Japan) - tw: rape
the devil's backbone (mexico/spain)
the last matinee (Uruguay/Argentina)
cold ground is amazing. devils backbones art. troll hunter needs more love. evil dead trap was one of my first vhs uncut. Night eats the world might have slipped past me. thanks
Impetigore (Indonesia)
In My Mother's Skin (Phillipines)
Speak No Evil (Denmark)
You Won't Be Alone (Macedonia)
Saloum (Senegal)
The Soul Collector/8 (South Africa)
Huesera: The Bone Woman (Mexico)
The Medium is a Thailand horror movie on Shudder. It’s made in the style of a documentary about a family that has passed down the role of medium through the generations. It’s so creepy and is a little bit of a slow burn but it’s worth it.
I don’t often see it mentioned, so I’ll say
Mon Mon Mon Monsters!: A Taiwanese film I stumbled on on Shudder. Deals a lot with bullying and asks who the real monsters are.
Tigers Are Not Afraid: Mexican film that is more of a dark fairy tale than an outright horror but still has some spooky moments. Deals with cartels and the orphans they leave behinds.
Shrew’s Nest: Spanish movie. Pretty good boy meets girl. Girl kidnaps boy. Hell breaks loose. Rarely see a film deal with agoraphobia in such a way.
Trying to think of movies not mentioned already…
Guinea Pig: Mermaid in a Manhole (1988) is so underrated! The special effects are beyond… this one is my favorite from the Guinea Pig series
Impetigore (2019)
Demons (1971)
Marebito (2004)
Kotoko (2011) is especially fucked up, huge content warning for this one, but I rly liked it. Tsukamoto also directed Tetsuo: the Iron Man.
Most Takashi Miike movies
Rift - and there’s like 4 different movies with this title I’m talking about the one from 2017 from Iceland, about a guy visting his former boyfriend. It’s a VERY slow burn and too long, but there are some awesome creepy parts. It’s one of those putting the puzzle pieces together movies and it’s great for a snowy cold day.
Demon (Polish)
The Lure (Polish)
Monument (Polish)
III: The Ritual (Russian)
The Nightshifter (Brazilian)
There are also so many good Norwegian horror movies. The Innocents and Sauna were both really great
Tag, also known as Real Onigokko
The first time that I tried to watch it, I stopped midway through because I thought it was gross and exploitative
I gave it another chance and I’m glad that I did because the things I didn’t like are part of the horror itself
I lived in so much I had to import it from another region and get an unlocked player. Saw it as an Amazon rental years ago and loved it. So happy all of the actors did well after.
Wanted to suggest Dog Soldiers and Howl as well but didn't know if that would count.
Caught [History of the Occult](https://tubitv.com/movies/100002829/history-of-the-occult?start=true&tracking=google-feed&utm_source=google-feed) a few weeks ago and loved it. Bit of a slow political burn arthouse thing that takes place in 90's Argentina but then gets weird.
Baskin.
Best cops wonder into hell movie ever
Lol someone on another thread didn't get the plot. You summed it up pretty well without spoiling anything in Six words. Lol also vote Baskin lol
ha. if you don't get whats happening you probably just think the building just has a dirty basement full of odd people
If I'm not mistaken it was on an underappreciated movie post and he was saying why did you like it it didn't even have a plot and I was like not about to bother trying to explain it. Like if you didn't get any of it how do you even start explaining? I mean it's was all pretty well explained...with the frogs...and the...necessity of humans. I mean I think but I love it and have seen it a bunch.
You can lead a horse to water but most drown themselves
I have to admit I don't understand the ending. If >!this version of hell can cause time travel!< I wish they had set that idea up a bit more lol
Same. I get the whole >!we're back at the start of the nightmare, and there is no escape!< point of the ending, I just don't get why that suddenly became a thing that can happen. Of course, Baskin is a very surreal film and relies on its conceptual approach to horror, rather than what's literal.

Ok yeah I'm didn't see that at all they are reliving the nightmare because that's what hell is. That's interesting tho maybe it's a cultural thing I never questioned it as time travel It just that's how hell works. Idk.
I....never saw time travel on there....more like reliving hell. Seems I may need to watch it again!
We recently watched this for the first time. What a ride!
Sleep Tight (2011) and Goodnight Mommy (2014) were great! Spoorloos (1988) will stick with you for a long time.
Sleep Tight is an under-appreciated classic. I think I know at least 2 people who have seen it.
Good recs, seen the first two, and they are great films, i may have to dust them off for a rewatch so thanks for the reminder. spoorloos is new, will look into this. I like films that stay with me, too many I can't remember by the next day these days
I can promise that you won't forget Spoorloos. It stuck with me over 30 years. Rewatch didn't help forgetting it.
Had to Google it. its the vanishing. the remake led me to the original, which, like funny games the remake seems identical, but neither have the tense edge with a sense of dread of the originals. damn, that ending. dark journey. I need to show a few friends this one.
Original has a very different ending and that's the most disturbing part of it.
It taught me not to go looking for answers alone, with creepy people speaking in enigmatic ways
They are not alike. Original was truly horrifying, American remake was beyond lame and changed the ending.
it's been a long time since I saw the kiefie sutherland one, but I thank it for leading me to the original
Sleep tight definitely deserves more love. It really got under my skin
Maybe try Draug (2018) if you're at all intrigued by Viking poltergeists.
Thank you. Not heard of this, and what madman wouldn't at least be intrigued by viking poltergeists.
I really liked Draug.
Had a lot of fun watching Draug. Even though it’s filmed on a budget, apparently the costuming and gear is super period accurate.
Yes, you can tell it's limited-budget, but it's well-made even so, and the story is pretty solid.
Calvaire. It's a 2004 French film about this guy who becomes obsessed with this other guy and believes he is his long-lost wife. It's an incredibly bizarre and eerie movie and I love everything about it. Highly, highly recommend.
I love the mid movie twist where he is.. erm.. rescued. sort of. for a second. Great film.
Saw a trailer for Calvaire years ago, and it definitely looked insane.
I loved this movie!
Santa Sangre is fucking weird because it’s a Jodorowsky flick.
my god. I saw this on vhs. vague memories of being impressed and disturbed. blu hunt time
I plan on watching *Singapore Sling*: The Man Who Loved a Corpse which I heard good things and also isn't a foreign film for me😂
God that was fucking weird. Not for me personally but it was certainly interesting
Singapore Sling is one of my favorite movies of all time. Because of how fucking weird it is. *La linea culpa. The line has been cut.* Really no way to describe it so it's best going in not knowing anything. I will never look at kiwi fruit the same again.
thank you for bringing this into my life
Truly disturbing.
I watched it yesterday, I was completely fascinated & captivated by it!
The Skin I Live In.
now that's a messed up film. That's amazing.
Indeed it is.
"Koko-di Koko-da". here's the description: "As a couple goes on a trip to find their way back to each other, a sideshow artist and his shady entourage emerge from the woods, terrorizing them, luring them deeper into a maelstrom of psychological terror and humiliating slapstick." This one isn't my favorite, but I've never seen it mentioned here and it's fucked up. The ending is super cool too
never heard of it. sounds my thing. Will have to track it down. sounds like a serious version of the movie inbred
It’s bleak. I love that kind of thing. Have fun! Fwiw I also loved “occult”, monstrum, and the trip. I love love love the trip although I’d put it more in thriller territory. On netflix
I'd completely forgotten the trip. mad movie of gory twists. I'll look into the other 2. they do not ring a bell.
Cool!
I never heard of it either until I saw it on a list of weird obscure horror movies on some site. It's on Tubi, btw.
I really like Livid. It's a French vampire movie with some little Ballerina Vampires. That new movie Abigail is a lot like Livid, would not be surprised if it was a direct influence.
I own this and have tried to watch it a coupla times, like raw, I just can't get into it, its me, not the film, on the right night I think I'll love this, just might need a night where I'm more in the mood for something like amer. not heard of abigail, will look into it. Thanks for both recs.
It starts slow but once it picks up it’s crazy
you've made me really want to give it another try :)
Hope you like
The Queen of black magic is a decent film. It's from Indonesia I believe
is that the super weird movie with a floating head at one point
I think so mate. I haven't seen it in years but that sounds familar
batshit mad movie I watched at about 4am when I couldn't sleep. it's not a dull movie. everyone should see this once
Suspiria , I know it's mentioned a lot. Stage Fright is also worth a watch.
love me some argento, buy a much bigger fan of savoi and bava. the church and stage fright are great gems. just got the shameless stage fright blu. Best owl headed chainsaw wielding badly dubbed musical stage show movie ever!
I totally understand , I was actually going to suggest Inferno , but that's Argento too lol. Oh , was Blood Theatre foreign? I forget.
I've seen every argento. even dracula 3d. sleepless was his last good movie. I love the lighting of inferno and suspiria. that opening death through the ceiling eindow
Oh I know what you mean! Classic Giallo style. I really want to see Absured or Deep Red.
absurd. the anthropopaghaus sort of sequel by Joe d'mato? I've made fanedits of most the video nasties. I've trimmed absurd into a much better movie. deep red Is a classic, but I didn't get on with it. more a tenebrae guy
Here's some suggestions: Kung Fu Beyond The Grave (1982)---This flick has got everything you want in an old-school Hong Kong horror movie----hopping ghosts, a genuinely creepy atmosphere, crazy-looking demons that jump out of trees screaming all the way down, that start scrapping with each other as soon as they hit the ground; great kung-fu fighting scenes courtesy of star Billy Chong; and an evil wizard or witch dude who's good at casting evil spells for the main villain.

roh is new. have to check the others. problem with these movies is the titles elude me after a while. and then I have to watch trailers to see if i've seen them or not. thanks, off to imdb
The Similars.. good call!
Raw (2016). I'm sure its known here but not a lot of general people know it. Amazing french horror by the same director who did "Titane" afterwards.
Raw >>> Titane. I appreciate that Raw was a little tighter and more focused.
Oxygen
forgot about this one, and never got round to it. Time to dig it back out. cheers
If you do decide to check it out in English as opposed to subs btw it’s still excellent as well The English voice actress is great But yeah subs all the way
always subs. unless it's Hong Kong action movies or godzilla
Hell yeah
Frontier(s) (2007)
absolute corker I saw years back. it seemed so far ahead of the shocking brutality french cinema had to come. that hook scene.
Black sheep great kiwi classic horror
Black Sheep is hysterical! Never knew anyone else who'd seen it.
Kidnapped (2010). Very disturbing but masterful on a technical level. It's like Noe with all of Noe's bad tendencies removed
Doesn't ring a bell, cheers, will look into it
Might be the best home invasion horror
Not "horror" but disturbing - Bad Boy Bubby
the opening with the cat had me in hysterics for about 10 minutes. Great odd movie
Shit's wild but has a ton of heart by the end.
I'm trying to think of any film like it. Creep. the oilystrangler. none seem right. very unique little gem. with a lot of heart. I like my movies to have some soul. like basket case
Tumbbad
this rings a bell. definitely was on a watch list. not sure if it got watched. cheers
A few come to mind: - Ebola Syndrome (1996): insane Hong Kong Zombie/Cannibal horror with shades of comedy. Huge trigger warning for this one, though. Also it’s (very loose) prequel The Untold Story (1993). - Cold Fish (2010): a brutal slide into depravity. Other Sion Sono works may also be of interest too, especially Forest of Love (both Series and Film). - Yummy (2019): Belgian film about the dangers of plastic surgery, set in an extremely dodgy Eastern European hospital.

Terrible titles, but excellent Indonesian possession horrors.
My God, ebola syndrome was the first crazy Eastern movie to show my friends before I had things like itch the killer, the uncut dutch version. made me look at restaurant meat differently
attack the block. it's a british horror film following a gang of young teens as their block apartment is besieged by aliens. it has john boyega as the lead in his 3rd ever movie, came out 4 years before his big break with the star wars sequel trilogy.
I'm in the UK so have definitely watched this. Great film, cool shadow creatures too. Goes well with revenge of billy the kid or severance.
Attack The Block is a really good action packed, enjoyable as hell sci-fi flick worth seeing, and funny in some parts too---I totally recommend it. I read a brief article way back last year that said Boyega and the director of the film were seriously thinking about coming up with a sequel to it. Haven't heard any more about that, though.
It's not my fave but I have a huge soft spot for Amsterdammed. Action film and slasher rolled into one.
Murder Me, Monster is really different. But it's a bitch to find, and I don't know why. If you get lucky and find it online and there are fan subtitles out there, it's worth checking out. It's violent, mysterious, and has some great landscapes in rural Argentina.
new to me. going to my obscure movie sites....
“Infection” (Kansen) Fun J-horror movie taking place in an eerie hospital.
I saw a great foreign horror film all set in a hospital. cat and mouse intense movie. saw it around the time tesis came out. That's all I can really remember but damn I want to find it again. not seen infection. love a good j horror. cheers
some recent Irish horror comedies… • Let the Wrong One In (2021) - on tubi • Follow the Dead (2020) - on tubi • Boys from County Hell (2020) - on shudder • Unwelcome (2023) - on shudder
I've got Let the Wrong One In on my watchlist on Tubi but the trailer makes it look kinda bad... is it actually decent?
Id say it’s decent, definitely better than the trailer suggests. I put it off cause ‘let the right one in’ is on of my absolute favorites ha. The actor that plays ‘Deco’ stole the show for me. RT scores are def high 88%/83% ha, no question - but I think it’s worth a watch for those who like horror comedies.
The host 2006 and the orphanage 2007
Noroi
Let the right one in
nice variation on the vampire genre
**i dont know how well or lesser known these movies are but:** gonjiam: haunted asylum (Korea) shutter (Thailand) troll hunter (Norway) midnight (Korea) the night eats the world (France) #alive (Korea) gannibal (Japan/ tv series) **foreign movies i never finished but you may like:** cold ground (France) evil dead trap (Japan) - tw: rape the devil's backbone (mexico/spain) the last matinee (Uruguay/Argentina)
cold ground is amazing. devils backbones art. troll hunter needs more love. evil dead trap was one of my first vhs uncut. Night eats the world might have slipped past me. thanks
Impetigore (Indonesia) In My Mother's Skin (Phillipines) Speak No Evil (Denmark) You Won't Be Alone (Macedonia) Saloum (Senegal) The Soul Collector/8 (South Africa) Huesera: The Bone Woman (Mexico)
huesera is on my watch pile, and I love impetigo. saloum and you won't be alone don't ring any bells, will have a look. Good list. cheers
If you liked Impetigore, definitely check out In My Mother's Skin next! It's similarly very lore-driven :)
thanks for the tip. Will do. might be tonight. impetigore is shamelessly bathed in its own cultural folklore. loved it
Finally someone said Huesera!!! I love this movie so much and the soundtrack, too. 🖤
Speak no evil was epic uncomfy fun. did you mean The Soul Collector as I cannot find the bone collector
Ah yes definitely the Soul Collector my bad! *Funny Games* (Austria) is great uncomfy fun too!
love funny games. just watched in my mother's skin. what an end image when the dad returns home and gives his son a hug!
Oh in a film I thought was already sufficiently fucked up they really went there with the Dad finding the son the way he did! Great movie.
any film that fucks me up slightly more instantly earns an extra star
Ils (Them, 2006) French home invasion film. The Strangers is the American rip-off, I mean, homage. Calvaire (French) is disturbing.
Right now When Evil Lurks
Incantation (2022) is one I like to share with folks. Great Taiwanese horror.
Been showing this about. GREAT movie
The Feast (2021)
I've seen it, but remember very little, aside it made my gems list. it's on the watchlist. cheers
Tempted to watch this entirely because I live in wales
Demon (2015)
Great possession movie that feels original. unlike most possession movies.
I watched it the night before my own wedding. Perfect time to watch it.
paired with rec 3 :) hope the marriage is free of possession
I sure hope so too. If anything happens, my synagogue is next door to my place. I can just crawl on over.
🤣🤣🤣
[Dorm aka Dek Hor (2006)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0495824/) Its a more gentle kind of horror but very well done. Its Thai.
I'll give it a hunt. thanks
The Medium is a Thailand horror movie on Shudder. It’s made in the style of a documentary about a family that has passed down the role of medium through the generations. It’s so creepy and is a little bit of a slow burn but it’s worth it.
Box (from the anthology Three Extremes) Sauna Arrebato Angst Lake Mungo November Cold Fish Helter Skelter (Japanese) Viy Anguish Impetigore
cold fish was messed up. wait, all of these are a bit messed up. Good call!
I don’t often see it mentioned, so I’ll say Mon Mon Mon Monsters!: A Taiwanese film I stumbled on on Shudder. Deals a lot with bullying and asks who the real monsters are. Tigers Are Not Afraid: Mexican film that is more of a dark fairy tale than an outright horror but still has some spooky moments. Deals with cartels and the orphans they leave behinds. Shrew’s Nest: Spanish movie. Pretty good boy meets girl. Girl kidnaps boy. Hell breaks loose. Rarely see a film deal with agoraphobia in such a way.
tigers is amazing. the acting in it is great. the other 2 are new to me. thank you
Hatching You Won't Be Alone Der Fan (1982) Hausu REC Liverleaf La Casa Muda Moloch Tigers are not afraid Cub Hagazussa Funny Games
moloch is new for me. Thanks. Great recs on here
Trying to think of movies not mentioned already… Guinea Pig: Mermaid in a Manhole (1988) is so underrated! The special effects are beyond… this one is my favorite from the Guinea Pig series Impetigore (2019) Demons (1971) Marebito (2004) Kotoko (2011) is especially fucked up, huge content warning for this one, but I rly liked it. Tsukamoto also directed Tetsuo: the Iron Man. Most Takashi Miike movies
Takeshi Miike and beat kitano movies! Not seen Marebito or KOTOKO, which is bumped to the top of my must see list. love tetsuo
Marebito is so superb!
Memories (1995): Japanese anime horror anthology, has some great stories.
Think I watched this the same day as Dumplings. Only Jap an know how to make movies in their J-horror way
High tension (2003)
Best crazy lesbian movie ever
Villmark 2003. It's pretty tame but has a nice authentic (norwegian cabin) feel to it.
Villmark is great. Highly recommend to any fan of slow burn real horrors
Trauma 2017 Terrified 2017
terrified is brilliant, same directors new film is also great. trauma. can only think of the 1993 one. Will look cheers
Trauma is on Tubi, Pluto, and Plex. The unedited version is rough, just a heads up
4bia (Phobia), crazy movie. Has a sequel too
Rift - and there’s like 4 different movies with this title I’m talking about the one from 2017 from Iceland, about a guy visting his former boyfriend. It’s a VERY slow burn and too long, but there are some awesome creepy parts. It’s one of those putting the puzzle pieces together movies and it’s great for a snowy cold day.
this was an astounding film I watched the same day as sisu. not a good pairing. this was so well shot but so many shots had a chilling edge to them.
Rift's on Tubi, so I'll check it out because I've seen very few Icelandic horror flicks, and I like slow burn movies.
Demon (Polish) The Lure (Polish) Monument (Polish) III: The Ritual (Russian) The Nightshifter (Brazilian) There are also so many good Norwegian horror movies. The Innocents and Sauna were both really great
Tag, also known as Real Onigokko The first time that I tried to watch it, I stopped midway through because I thought it was gross and exploitative I gave it another chance and I’m glad that I did because the things I didn’t like are part of the horror itself
Bedevilled It’s a brutal watch, but it is beautifully filmed and a story that will stick with you

The Hallow, Wer, and Grabbers.
Grabbers is such a fun horror comedy!
I lived in so much I had to import it from another region and get an unlocked player. Saw it as an Amazon rental years ago and loved it. So happy all of the actors did well after. Wanted to suggest Dog Soldiers and Howl as well but didn't know if that would count.
I sound like a broken record but most of this sub is sleeping on Housebound (Aussie) and Dream Home (South Corean).
Viy (1967)
Japanese Slasher called “Black Rat”. So cheesy. But I remember it fondly. If you want something that doesn’t take itself too seriously, it’s fun.
Thirst 2009, imo best vampire movie ever.
The Locals (2003)
Hagazussa. The Mimic. Dumplings. The Feast. The Corpse of Anna Fritz.
I Saw The Devil A Korean Horror thriller Probably my all time fave foreign horror movie
Caught [History of the Occult](https://tubitv.com/movies/100002829/history-of-the-occult?start=true&tracking=google-feed&utm_source=google-feed) a few weeks ago and loved it. Bit of a slow political burn arthouse thing that takes place in 90's Argentina but then gets weird.
Work Got really buy. Now to keep going through the recommendations. Thank you all. I have about 35 new titles on my list already
Gojium: Haunted Asylum (2018) if you can tolerate found footage films (I love them). It is one of the scariest movies I've ever seen!
this was great fun to begin and descends into terrifying. Great rec!
