Favorite Foreign Films (Page 1 of 3)

Evil to Kako  - Greek horror zombies:)

oh man! there are so many, some of the ones in the last few years that I really liked would have to be:

High Tension
The Host
Battle Royal
The Room
Them

I forgot to add High Tension and Cronos.

I find this so funny because American films are foreign to me. One could either break it down into favourite European or favourite Asian film. For me I was born in England (therefore dont consider them to be foreign films) and I live in Australia (as yet to build on their horror genre- there are some not many) And New zealand make some amazing films full stop but their horror, to me, is exceptional. And as they are our next door neighbours cant consider them foreign either. Just had to bring this aside up.

i got "Infection" for x-mas RiP but i havent watched it yet, since you like it i will watch it soon though
i like...

Battle Royale
Versus
Oldboy
Sympathy for Mr. Vengence
Audition
Pan's Labyrinth
the Devil's Backbone = creepy
High Tension
Suspiria
28 Days Later
the Descent
3 eXtremes
3 eXtremes II

One of my favorite online scanvanger hunts is finding foreign horror films to add to my collection.

Audition
Suspiria(and any others by him)
HighTension
The Host
Pan's Labrynth
Dark Waters(itialian not the japenese one)1994
City of the living Dead
Black Sunday
The Girl Who Knew Too Much
Black Sabbath
Bay of Blood(Twitch of the Death Nerve)
The Witch's Mirror
Eye's Without a Face(1959)
Nosferatu(1922)

"My Life as a Dog" and "The Crying Game". Both non-horror. Also Pans labrynth(spelling??),High Tension and Ringu are my top picks in the horror/sci-fi department.

My favourites so far are Night Watch (Nochnoi Dozor), Day Watch (Dnevnoi Dozor) and The Host (Gwoemul).   I have just got a copy of Cronos but haven't watched it yet so I hope it's good.
I'm British so I wouldn't think of Dog Soldiers or 28 Days/Weeks Later as being 'foreign' but they are all good too.

My favorite would have to be the Japanese horror movie, Carved: The Slit Mouthed Woman.  I also really enjoyed The Host.  Ringu 0 is another good one.  Other than that, I really haven't seen any other foreign horror movies.

Oldboy
Sympathy for Lady Vengence
Man Bites Dog
Battle Royale
Save the Green Planet
Audition
Suspiria
Pan's Labyrinth
High Tension
Izo
The Descent
some non horror..
Run Lola Run
Spirited Away
Iron Monkey
Hero
and on and on.....

It's hard to determine exactly which ones are my favorite. But i'm going out on a limb here and stating that practically every single asian horror movie, and non-horror, are my bread and butter. Without a shadow of a doubt, i can watch these movies over and over again.

Hammer really did some great things fredgavin, gotta agree with you there.  I still remember the hammer horror series on TV that was pretty damn sweet.
