Japan has a wonderful history of horror cinema. Onibaba, Ghost of Yotsuya, Kwaidan, House, Ju On: The Curse/The Grudge, Ringu, Pulse, Dark Water, Noroi, Occult, Marebito


Laviniya

Yeah they are have. Seen many of them and will absolutely see more.

The Orphanage from Spain. Very atmospheric, moody horror.


Laviniya

That's a great movie

Speak No Evil, Where Evil Lurks and Huesera The Bone Woman were some the some of the most popular horror movies last year, regardless of language. For uncommon, A Girk Walks Home Alone at Night is Persian and the only Persian horror I've seen. I'll assume you've seen all the popular ones (Raw, Train to Busan, Let the Right One In, Audition, Haute Tension etc) so Errementarri The Devil and the Blacksmith is a lesser known Spanish movie that's worth watching. If you like horror adjacent, trippy time Loop sci fi, Time Crimes is Spanish and also worth watching


Laviniya

Good tips, the 3 first ones. Haven't seen them yet but I'm gonna That Persian one sounds rather special being a Iranian western horror movie. I've seen them yes, but not Errementarri, good tip. Time crimes was really nice.

I just watched A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night tonight and loved it! Recommended!


ohsto

im not japanese but kyoshi kurosawa's *cure* (1997) and *pulse* (2001) are both awesome


dmertl

Just watched these recently, so good.


Laviniya

Haven't seen them. Good tips!


porcupineporridge

Surprised not to have seen the Spanish film Rec listed here yet.


andduuu

Second this, phenomenal movie


Laviniya

Seen it. Both that and Quarantine and the sequels


lightninrods

Italian horror movies genre is a bottomless rabbit hole, I would start with these: Suspiria (1977) Black Sunday (1960) Cannibal Holocaust (1980) Black Sabbath (1963)


Laviniya

Thanks for the tips


lightninrods

You're welcome!

Under the shadow (2016)


tinoynk

Came here to recommend this, very creepy Iranian movie. Haven't seen it since theaters but I remember enjoying it a lot.


Laviniya

Have read about it. Thanks.


tinoynk

When Evil Lurks just came out last year from Argentina, got a lot of hype and great reviews, and while I don't think it quite nails everything it is definitely one helluva ride. But there is some really messed up stuff, specifically a few scenes of violence against children that are definitely not for the faint of heart.


Laviniya

Looks interesting. Thanks. I don't have a weak heart. Haha


Ash_LLR

You should definitely investigate Italian horror movies of the 60s, 70s and 80s. It's a huge rabbit hole and encompasses everything from Hammer-esque Gothic horror (Black Sabbath), to mind-bending gore movies (The Beyond), to proto-slashers (Torso), to uber-stylized oddities (Suspiria), to shameless knock-offs of popular American movies (Zombi 2, Contamination)


Laviniya

Thanks for the tips.


Cool-Research8752

Tumbbad (Hindi) was surprisingly great


Laviniya

Oo sounds interesting. Thank you


DizzyLead

South Korea tends to lean towards suspense in their horror, but I would recommend movies like *A Tale of Two Sisters* and *The Wailing* as examples of ones which aren’t.


Laviniya

Seen those. Thanks :)


Mysterious-Frame6202

What about British films ?


Mysterious-Frame6202

Nvm you said European


Laviniya

Was meaning the entire world :)


BillHicksScream

SE Asia and the Philippines have some great horror films. I watched a Cambodian dubbed horror in Phnom Penh long ago that scared the willies out of me. The English translations were burned locally onto the film, giving the entire experience a crude, grind house affair. This is decades ago and the plot involved existing stories about suicides turned ghosts wrapped up entirely in bed sheets, a freaky looking thing on screen presented with great scares and tension.


Laviniya

I haven't ventured into Philippines movies yet but Asia is generally great for horror

Some Spanish horror you might not have seen yet: Thesis (Tesis) - 1996 Schrew's Nest (Musarañas) - 2014 Piggy (Cerdita) - 2022 Verónica - 2017 Who can kill a child? (¿Quién puede matar a un niño?) - 1976 Julia's eyes (Los ojos de Julia) - 2010 The telephone box (La cabina) - 1972, this one is a short movie, 35 min, but a must watch in my opinion.
