I am interested in picking up several foreign horror films to watch in October and I would like to hear from those in the know on these forums.

It is a French film and it rocks.

It is not technically horror but BATTLE ROYALE japanese is a mindlbower. I hooked someone on this who had never watched a subtitled movie and they are like.. "you &%*((& , I cant stop watching"
its a horror sci fi, action, dystopian, teen, friendship (isnt it sad that the topic of friendship doesent seem to be as common in american films?)romance, ghost story that will make you cry.
ONE MISSED CALL & PT 2 are both great and dubbed into english.
aright, Foreign in the sense that its from Australia but FEED
yuck it slike a horse race between DISTURBING, DISGUSTING, DREADFULL & OOOOO WORDS JUST CANT DESCRIBE THIS.
ok. this is a rough pick, if you havent seen it... its important to rent this, download etc. without looking at the cover, or reading any reviews. . AUDITION

The Vanishing - the original, not the remake with Kiefer.

Carnival of Souls, a low budget b&w flick froimt the 60's is one that sticks in my mind. And Kubrick's The Shining. Japan and Korea seem to be putting out a lot of horror stuff the last several years. Audition is very disturbing. The Japanese version of The Ring was quite effective as well, I thought.

CoS was produced and filmed in Utah.

I didn't like it that much, myself. The ending was predictable, and you had to suspend all of your disbelief for it to make sense.

I'm going to recommend "Ju-On," the Japanese version of "The Grudge," and also "One Missed Call," by Takashi Miike. "Audition" was incredibly twisted, too, but I thought it was more of a thriller than a horror, lacking that supernatural aspect.

Also, for an all-around fun movie, "Ichi the Killer" is great. And Royal mentioned another movie a while back that I decided to check out, "Marebito." It's like Lovecraft, it's so weird.

I say, whatever you do, try to avoid the movie. The book is thirty score better.

Berk, CARNIVAL OF SOULS is Mormon, not foreign.:p It was shot in Salt Lake City.

But it is an excellent low budget horror film.

**Ontir** · 10-02-2006, 05:01 PM

A Mormon horror movie?!?!? Great googly-moogly!

The mind boggles! :p

i'm not sure if this really counts but i just got done watching a Masters of Horror episode by Takashi Miike titled 'Imprint.' highly disturbing movie; actually made me look away at a few parts. starts slow but you won't be able to look away by the end.
