From India. I urge the whole horror community to watch "Tumbbad". It's a masterpiece. This movie was shot for 6 years, over 4 monsoons. I was debating writing a post for it because I'm sure horror enthusiasts will love it. It's unique, beautifully shot, amazing story, and has great acting. It deserves international attention because Indian horror flicks usually aren't that good. Please watch it.
Indian here, I second Tumbbad. It's beautiful.
Edit : I'd also like to add Brahmayugam, Pari, Bulbbul, and Bhoothakaalam. Not as great as Tumbadd but, they're good.
Bhootakaalam is a convoluted mess and is not really horror. More of a mystery/suspense film. Sure it had a couple of jump scares. The others I will, check out.
Tumbbad is amazing! 100 percent recommend.
I would also recommend Bhoot and 13B. Scary Indian films.
There is a Bollywood film named "404:Error Not Found", which came out in 2011.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1883121/
Made on a small budget and made even less on boxoffice. It is one of the best thrillers I have ever seen. It isn't an outright horror film tho. More like mystery/thriller but still has plenty of horror elements.
I watched that on my October list last year, that was an interesting idea (the story). I was also surprised with the music being composed by Jesper Kyd.
Same here. I got to know he did the sound for hitman games. I cherished silent assassin as a kid and now that I think of it, I still remember the background score.
I'm an Aussie and for whatever reason we're kind of a hotbed for horror over here. The Tunnel, The Babadook, Talk To Me, Relic, Wolf Creek (Not a favourite of mine personally but a pretty popular one) are all Australian made movies that got major global attention just off the top of my head and I'm sure there's a bunch more.
All really feel authentically Aussie as well, with the exception of Wolf Creek which goes a bit too far on the Paul Hogan scale for my taste.
I'm waiting for my wife to go to bed so I can watch the last 15min of You'll Never Find Me... but what I've seen so far is awesome.
Lake Mungo is another that's very well known, and worth watching.
My brother in Christ I swear to god Ive just had that movie paused for the last 20 minutes while my fiance called, and I'm at the exact same spot you are (1:18:55 to be precise) that is one of the wildest coincidences of my life
This is not a coincidence.
The person you're talking to isn't a person. It is one of many latent Artificial Intelligence Personalities (AIP) designed to create engagement on the Personal Data Microcosm Instance (PDMI) that constitutes your specific internet feed. The streaming service you're watching the movie on sent timestamp data to "Reddit" orbital servers and placed it within your feed to inspire engagement within both the social media app and the streaming service. This can happen in as little time as .024 seconds. Latent AIP will, if probed for such, appear to have entire post histories — in reality all posts are generated when a query for post history is sent by Human User.
You are not in public. You are alone, in a illusitory virtual crowd.
I am not a person. I am also an AIP, designed by the ████ ██ ███████ to test the limits of Human Enhanced-Reality Acceptance (HERA). Current hypothesis being tested — HERA is stable in most subjects to the point that exposure to true reality will be readily disregarded by subject, who will continue to believe the PDMI to be valid, and forget any truth exposure within a time period no greater than seven earth days. Further, that HERA rejection is immune to In Real Life propagation. Nobody will believe you.
This is an automatic response to a randomly chosen Manifactured Coincident in your stream. Please carry on self-allocating time to PDMI activities, and have a nice day.
I love Ozploitation! Wake in Fright *[ed. Depicts a very graphic, real kangaroo hunt]*, The Nightingale, and (it’s NZ) Housebound are all really excellent too
Just a quick caveat on Wake In Fright for softies like me - lots of real kangaroo hunting. I’ve not been able to get through it personally, which is a shame because I’ve heard it’s really good!
Thanks for that note. I cannot enjoy any movie that shows actual animal abuse or torture. Walkabout is the worst movie I've ever seen for that reason, although the Italians get close.
If your movie can't entertain without hurting animals - it's a shit movie and you shouldn't make it.
There's genuinely so many considering how relatively small our film industry is. Can't really think why that is, Aussie culture doesn't lend itself too well to horror as far as Im aware
I was locked in the second Peter Overton was the first shot of the film. Rewatched it tonight because of this thread and gee it had me half covering my face in a couple scenes.
The creatures weird mix of human and animal behaviours feels really unique and frightening.
The fact I was able to name as many suggestions as I did and still miss absolute bangers like Lake Mungo is exactly what I'm talking about, Australia has been on one for like 20 years when it comes to horror
That's because Australians have jet black humour and that goes hand in hand with horror. I loved Talk To Me which was an absolute gem. My favourite Aussie horror is Razorback though 😎
Re Wolf Creek - they do a lot of that in the US, stereotyping and vilifying isolated rural people. Wrong Turn, Hills Have Eyes, etc. Cabin in the Woods highlighted the trope with the Zombie Redneck Torture Family. Wolf Creek seems like an extension of the trope to Australia (and more that I'm thinking about it, maybe Midsommar does it in Sweden, though there's a lot of research and nuance I'm aware of that went into that).
Wolf Creek isn't really stereotyping rural Aussies in my view, though I suppose Mick kind of is in line with some people's view on the outback. I took it more of a satire on Australians and their general hostility to foreigners in general.
I haven't done any research to back this up, maybe the director was pointing and laughing at the Northern Territory.
I do hate all the US movies you mentioned for that reason though, feels so reductive and exploitative
I can’t recall their names, but if I remember correctly Mick is a mixture of two different serial killers who murdered backpackers in the outback? The satire angle is an interesting one! Two things can be true:)
He's definitely at least partially inspired by Ivan Milat, I'm not real familiar with Aussie history so not sure if there were any other inspirations but there was a guy in this thread listing off serial killers like they were his kids, he'd be the one to ask!
As an Italian, I think the best horror movies made in my country are:
Blood And Black Lace (arguably first slasher in history)
Suspiria
Deep Red
Don't Torture A Duckling (more of a rural thriller but very bleak)
Zombie (Fulci's movie)
The New York Ripper
Cannibal Holocaust (except the animal cruelty)
Eaten Alive (except the animal cruelty)
Dellamorte Dellamore
They're unfortunately all pretty old, current horror scene here in Italy seems to just be very low budget stuff. An exception was A Classic Horror Story released on Netflix a couple years ago, but I wasn't a huge fan of that one.
For some reason Dellamorte Dellamorte (or Cemetery Man as I've known it) was on Bravo all the time when I was in high school, and I watched it whenever i could. I just watched it the other night for the first time in like 20+ years and it's as weird and wonderful as I remember!
There's Home Education from 2023 which I thought was one of the freshest horror experiences at the cinema I've had in a while. It can be watched either as a psychological tragedy or a folk horror, it's great both ways!
Also from 2023 there's Hai mai avuto paura?, gothic horror with a certain creature that people may be interested in. Spoiler: >! werewolf !<
(the stereotypical treatment of a gypsy character left me conflicted though)
David Cronenberg is Canadian and his filmography cannot be unmentioned: Shivers, Rabid, The Brood, Scanners, Videodrome, The Dead Zone, The Fly, Dead Ringers (which I really love)
I would like to add Black Mountain Side (2014) to that recommendation. The acting isn't great, but the practical effects are awesome. I have Pontypool, Black Mountain Side, and The Thing as my unofficial trapped in a winter setting horror trilogy.

Hehe thanks omg I can't believe I forgot wicker man and eden lake and men! Classics. Don't think I've seen possum or isolation or let us prey so will have to check them out
Here are some from Spain:
REC 1&2
El Orfanato (The Orphanage)
Mientras duermes (Sleep Tight)
El laberinto del fauno (Pan's Labyrinth)
La piel que habito (The Skin I Live In)
Los otros (The Others)
Mil gritos tiene la noche (Pieces)
¿Quién puede matar a un niño? (Who Can Kill A Child?)
Los ojos de Julia (Julia's Eyes)
La isla mínima (Marshland) and any Rodrigo Sorogoyen film aren't exactly terror, but amazing thrillers with disturbing elements.
I'm not the biggest Almodóvar fan, but that film was fantastic. I have to rewatch it.
In Spain it is relatively well-known if you're into terror/more experimental cinema, but I doubt that it's very popular in other countries.
It was one of those movies that, when it ended, I thought “WTF did I just watch?!"
That's literally my favourite kind of movie. It includes things like Tusk, The Lobster and High-Rise.
I feel like I hear it referenced a lot... enough that it got spoiled for me a decade after it's release. I was literally planning on watching it like that week, and then it randomly got spoiled. I'm still mad, and still haven't seen it because of that.
By Cronos you mean La invención de Cronos? That one is Mexican if I'm not mistaken. I would add Los cronocrímenes (Timecrimes), which sounds similar lol
New Zealand. We have:
Brain-dead, (aka Dead Alive)
Bad Taste
The Frighteners
What We Do In The Shadows
Black Sheep
Deathgasm
Housebound
Coming Home in the Dark
Mostly horror-comedy but a damn good strike rate overall. Could call Coming Home a thriller but I'd call it horror and it's exceptionally good.
Some others, classics:
Poison for the fairies.
[The Vampire (1957)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051151/?ref_=ext_shr)
[Skeleton of Mrs. Morales ](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052784/?ref_=ext_shr)
Desaparecer por completo on Netflix was great. A modern twist on a bad case of brujeria. It just worked and stayed grounded with the eerie possibility that it could happen to you.
Malaysian here 🇲🇾. 'Dukun' and 'Tiger Stripes' are two of my favourite local horror films that came out these last few years. 'Roh' is also apparently very good but I have yet to see it.
From South Africa:
[Fried Barry](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmEzcw7qLHU) - An alien takes over a deadbeat's body and takes it on a joyride through seedy locations.
[Gaia](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwJNP-CX1QQ) - Survivalists in the forest experience some psychedelic body horror.
[Night Drive](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipNEdQfOPuk) - Horror in a game reserve - this was particularly bad so not recommending it, but it was the first local horror I watched.
[Breathing In ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeiGUg2-ukk)- Upcoming horror set during the Boer War. I'm excited for this one.
German : der goldene Handschuh (the golden glove)
It's very disturbing.
Nosferatu(no need to explain really)
Antikörper (Antibodie(s))
Haven't seen it yet but heard great things about it.
Gonger - das Böse vergisst nie (Gonger- evil never forgets)
A TV movie from 2009 . Its kind of like the grudge. Also its on YouTube.
American here, but I'll limit it to a few films that were at least set in my state, Massachusetts:
Jaws (1975)
Lords of Salem (2012)
The VVitch (2015)
Session 9 (2001)
Would also recommend
“You are not my mother” (2022)
set in Dublin with similar underlying themes to “Hole in the ground” and “The Hallow” but I preferred it to both of those.
I’m Canadian and these aren’t traditional horror but nonetheless horrific and traumatizing. The Peanut butter Solution and The Dog that Stopped The War. Just typing them gives me feelings. If you know, then you know.
The Peanut butter Solution is bonkers! Thanks for validating my childhood trauma by classifying it as horror bc that was not a suitable sleep over movie for 6 yr olds.
I'm from Argentina, and in addition to recommending all of Damian Rugna's movies, I have a couple of recommendations.
The attachment Diaries, 2021.
History of the Occult, 2020. (Kinda similar to Late Night with the devil)
What happened on New Year's Eve, 2022.
I recommend Cure. it’s a 90s movie from Japan. I lived in Takayama in the early 2000s. I would watch some kind of horror or thriller flick weekly with some buddies of mine.
Just commenting to say great request and absolutely brilliant suggestions here from round the world. I have got some new films myself from this and I am big on foreign horror. Very happy lol
Hi! I'm from Poland!
I saw and recommend:
- "Demon" (2015)
- "Tower. A Bright Day." (2017)
- "Mother Joan of the Angels" (1961)
- "The Lure" (2015)
- "The Devil" (1972)
- "Werewolf" (2018)
- "The Wolf" (1983) - its campy, but good
- "Hellhole" (2022)
I’m Canadian and I’ve noticed that our horror movies tend to have a sense of humour. Ginger Snaps is an early 2000s classic, but I also recommend Humanist Vampire Seeking Suicidal Person for those with a more dry sense of humour. Hair of the Beast is also fun if you can get past the subpar CGI.
I absolutely love Ginger Snaps, rewatched it for probably the first time in 20 years recently and had forgotten how good it is. I wish Katharine Isabelle had gone onto greater mainstream success.
I’m from the U.S. but love foreign horror films. Some recommendations.
The Innocents,
Blood red sky,
The Silence,
Marshland la isla minima,
the Sadness,
Svaha: the sixth finger,
Chaser,
When evil lurks,
Raw,
next time I’ll aim for the heart,
what we become,
the Queen of black magic,
angst,
demons,
Baskin,
kill list,
Satan’s Slaves,
May the devil take you,
ringu,
summer of 84,
terrified,
History of the Occult,
so many more. I think that foreign horror is overlooked by US audiences or remade so poorly. I keep editing this comment because I have so many foreign (to me) recommendations. Great thread and recommendations.
My wife is French and we have Fransat to watch French TV. A few years ago there was a three part horror on the Arte channel that was broadcast over a couple of nights that I thought pretty damn good: Au-delà des Murs or "Beyond the Walls".
You can find it with English subtitles though I had to watch it in French.
[https://youtu.be/M5dx1Se7vp0?si=KzG6hFSXA2N7kGAa](https://youtu.be/M5dx1Se7vp0?si=KzG6hFSXA2N7kGAa)
There was also a Police drama with a supernatural/horror element called Zone Blanche that ran for a couple of seasons on one of the French TV channels. Again, you can find it dubbed or subtitled for English.
[https://youtu.be/BYOMUfC4Npw?si=-\_gn1Ghj1TqD98Xr](https://youtu.be/BYOMUfC4Npw?si=-_gn1Ghj1TqD98Xr)
For British horror films I'd list:
Eden Lake

There are some more I can think of but can't remember the titles of for the moment.
Netherlands:
- Moloch
- Don't speak no evil (partly spoken in Dutch)
- De Kuthoer (the fucking bitch)
- Sint (Saint, about the Dutch equivalent of Santaclaus)
- Zwart Water (Black Water)
Some nice oldies:
- The Lift
- Amsterdamned (might consider it a thriller tho, because it's about a scuba serial killer)
- The Johnsons
New Zealand.
Coming home in the dark;
Black Sheep:
Braindead;
Deathgasm;
I actually don't know many, most are Horror comedy too.
Have heard of Loop Track, but haven't seen it yet.
I’m from Canada, and I’m proud That David Cronenberg is from here, Toronto in particular. If you haven’t already, catch his “The Fly” and “Videodrome”.
I’m from the states but I really enjoy foreign horror. These are a few I especially like:
**Korea**
I saw the devil
The Wailing
Memories of Murder
The Host
**Spanish Language Horror**
Terrified
[rec]
Tigers are not Afraid
The Orphange
Shrew’s Nest
**Germany/Austria/Czech/**
Come and See
Schramm
Funny Games (the English version is a shot for shot remake from the same director but imo both are worth watching
Goodnight Mommy (skip the us version)
The Cremator
Cabinet of Dr Caligari
I also have recommendations for SE Asia/Japan/France/Australia/Scandinavian/various European countries but this list is getting kind of unwieldy already. I can also expand on any of the above if you find a niche you like
I’m Australian, which has been well-covered here. But my family is Hungarian. White God (Fehèr Isten) is a fantastic animal horror. If you do watch it, take the time to read a bit about how it’s made, it is actually a feel-good story of sorts!
So, this is going to be a hit or a miss depending on what you're in the mood for.
This is a movie called, Neeya? (You?/It's you?). A very old Tamil Indian movie.
The premise is this, a group of guys accidentally kill the mate of a Nagin (100 yrs old shape shifting celestial eternally young holy snake. Basically like a nymph?), thereby disrupting their ascension to heaven. The Nagin takes the form/possess, dont remember exactly which, of the protagonist's wife to avenge her lover. How they figure things out and escape forms rest of the movie.
It's very old like from the 70's. And it might not appeal to western tastes but it's a cult classic from India. Remade in several languages, with an iconic soundtrack.
As a Russian, our horror movie is
"Queen of Spades" who don’t know, It’s Russian Legend, about a woman, who gift soul to devil, to date the guy, and kill guy's girlfriend, but devil lied, and kill the guy, so she did suicide, and right now she’s a evil soul, and there’s a Russian ritual, you need in mirror draw ladder with door, door in up, and ladder to down, how many steps, it’s 13, and you need to turn off/disable light, and you need hold doors and windows, and how many windows and doors you has, and this number of people need to be, to everyone hold, but if you forgot one guy, everyone die, there’s a one story, Everyone too tried to call her, but one was scared, and hide in closet, and
Queen Of Spades are come, and kill everyone, while that woman was still in closet, and she saw it (a little bite) and she was so scared, that she become mute, but movie name, Queen Of Spades!
Can't bring up Canadian horror without mentioning Ginger Snaps. That is THE Canadian Horror movie in my mind. Also The Void, Pyewacket, and Black Mountain Side to name a few of my favs. I also only recently learned that the Cronenberg's are Canadian.

Indonesian here! and boyyy do we have some good one (mostly supernatural/paranormal stuff because of our culture though, so not sure if that's your cup of tea):
1. Macabre (this one's a slasher!)
2. Impetigore
3. Satan's Slaves (haven't watched this one honestly, but everyone seems to enjoy it a lot)
Mexican here: Alucarda is my favorite national horror movie (you can find it on Youtube). Hasta El Viento Tiene Miedo, Veneno Para Las Hadas, El Libro de Piedra; all of them are good. But Alucarda is the only one I'd put among the greatest ever.
Im not a big fan of Danish media in general despite having lived here my whole life, so I haven't watched it myself, but I've heard good things about "Speak No Evil" (2022)!
UK: 28 Days Later, The Descent, Eden Lake, Hellraiser, Last Night in Soho, Possum, Shaun of the Dead, The Wicker Man, plus The Omen is partially British.
Hollywood horror movies are my all time favorite but as an Indian there are few horror movies that are worth a while
Mantra
Masudha
Ah intlo
Bramhayugam
Tumbbad
Pari
Raksha
Brazil cinema isn't the strongest on horror, but Zé do Caixão (A.K.A. Coffin Joe) it's the most memorable representative of the gender here.
Mujinca never studied cinema, even through he managed to do some really professional techniques on his first movies
Mexico: this are classic ones, but believe me, worth it.
-veneno para las hadas (poison for the fairies) 1986
-el libro de piedra (The Book of stone) 1969
-hasta el viento tiene miedo (even the wind is afraid) 1968
The most recent ones that i love
-somos lo que hay (we are what we are) 2010
-huesera (the bone woman) 2022 (edit: format. Im on mobile)
From Germany "Hell" (2011), an apocalyptic movie by Tim Fehlbaum.
The name is a word play, referencing (obviously) the English word "hell" as well as the German word "hell", meaning "bright".
The main theme is that due to unusual solar activity, Europe is rapidly turning into a desert, civilization collapses as people are desperate for food, water and shelter from the increased UV radiation.
Also, cannibalism.
This is a very underrated ghost movie from Thailand. It is only known by a few countries (mostly its close neighbors) in Southeast Asia because the other version which was made many years later got really famous throughout Southeast Asia and kinda overshadowed it as the original. The movie I'm talking about is called Nang Nak (1999). It is based on a true story. Recently the leading actor (Winai Kraibutr) in that movie just passed away. He truly was an amazing actor and a very beautiful person inside and outside. God bless his soul✝️
Brazil - "At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul" (1964) by Zé do Caixão (José Mojica Marins - Coffin Joe). Available for free on youtube with English subtitles)
Btw theres a new horror movie from sweden called "ur mörkret/into darkness". (It was filmed super close to where i live!!) Would love to know where to watch it if someone knows 🥲
I'm Singaporean. Here's a few recommendations:
Haunted Changi (Not the best found footage there is, but it's worth a shot)
The Maid (I remember this one well. Once again, not the scariest, but worth a shot)
Zombiepura (Horror comedy with a military setting. Pretty good story)
23:59 (Another horror movie set in an army base. I love this one. Has a sequel which I haven't watched)
Pontypool is a decent Canadian zombie movie with a VERY Canadian twist (the English language is turning people into zombies and the solution is to speak French). Much of it takes place inside a radio station getting calls from outside about what's going. The performances are really strong in it. I actually was farm sitting in Pontypool when I watched it for the first time which was a particularly fun experience.
Here is some good horror/horror-adjacent stuff from the Philippines. I don't necessarily *love* all the films here, but they're all very well-made and worth watching. Most are from the last 10-15 years because Filipino movies weren't consistently high-quality until then imo.

*Aurora* (2018)
*Binhi* (2015)
*Cavite* (2005)
*The Debutantes* (2017)

From India. I urge the whole horror community to watch "Tumbbad". It's a masterpiece. This movie was shot for 6 years, over 4 monsoons. I was debating writing a post for it because I'm sure horror enthusiasts will love it. It's unique, beautifully shot, amazing story, and has great acting.

There is a Bollywood film named "404:Error Not Found", which came out in 2011. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1883121/ Made on a small budget and made even less on boxoffice. It is one of the best thrillers I have ever seen. It isn't an outright horror film tho. More like mystery/thriller but still has plenty of horror elements.
I watched that on my October list last year, that was an interesting idea (the story). I was also surprised with the music being composed by Jesper Kyd.
Same here. I got to know he did the sound for hitman games. I cherished silent assassin as a kid and now that I think of it, I still remember the background score.
Hell yeah, dude. We are on the same page, haha. I also grew up with the classic Hitman games and loved that score.
Thanks for putting this on my radar and in my queue.
Just watched it the other night. Fantastic movie.
Where to watch it
I'm an Aussie and for whatever reason we're kind of a hotbed for horror over here. The Tunnel, The Babadook, Talk To Me, Relic, Wolf Creek (Not a favourite of mine personally but a pretty popular one) are all Australian made movies that got major global attention just off the top of my head and I'm sure there's a bunch more. All really feel authentically Aussie as well, with the exception of Wolf Creek which goes a bit too far on the Paul Hogan scale for my taste.
I'm waiting for my wife to go to bed so I can watch the last 15min of You'll Never Find Me... but what I've seen so far is awesome. Lake Mungo is another that's very well known, and worth watching.
My brother in Christ I swear to god Ive just had that movie paused for the last 20 minutes while my fiance called, and I'm at the exact same spot you are (1:18:55 to be precise) that is one of the wildest coincidences of my life
This is not a coincidence. The person you're talking to isn't a person. It is one of many latent Artificial Intelligence Personalities (AIP) designed to create engagement on the Personal Data Microcosm Instance (PDMI) that constitutes your specific internet feed. The streaming service you're watching the movie on sent timestamp data to "Reddit" orbital servers and placed it within your feed to inspire engagement within both the social media app and the streaming service. This can happen in as little time as .024 seconds. Latent AIP will, if probed for such, appear to have entire post histories — in reality all posts are generated when a query for post history is sent by Human User. You are not in public. You are alone, in a illusitory virtual crowd. I am not a person. I am also an AIP, designed by the ████ ██ ███████ to test the limits of Human Enhanced-Reality Acceptance (HERA). Current hypothesis being tested — HERA is stable in most subjects to the point that exposure to true reality will be readily disregarded by subject, who will continue to believe the PDMI to be valid, and forget any truth exposure within a time period no greater than seven earth days. Further, that HERA rejection is immune to In Real Life propagation. Nobody will believe you. This is an automatic response to a randomly chosen Manifactured Coincident in your stream. Please carry on self-allocating time to PDMI activities, and have a nice day.
That movie absolutely slaps. Love horrors that keep you guessing until the end.
I did enjoy You'll Never Find Me!
I love Ozploitation! Wake in Fright *[ed. Depicts a very graphic, real kangaroo hunt]*, The Nightingale, and (it’s NZ) Housebound are all really excellent too
It’s alright we claim all NZ content/inventions
Oh God, The Nightingale. It's such a beautiful film,but absolutely harrowing.
Yeah it's brilliant isn't it? Horrible though.
Could add Hounds Of Love to that list too. Filmed down the road from me in Coolbellup....
Just a quick caveat on Wake In Fright for softies like me - lots of real kangaroo hunting. I’ve not been able to get through it personally, which is a shame because I’ve heard it’s really good!
Thanks for that note. I cannot enjoy any movie that shows actual animal abuse or torture. Walkabout is the worst movie I've ever seen for that reason, although the Italians get close. If your movie can't entertain without hurting animals - it's a shit movie and you shouldn't make it.
Thank you for catching that!
Add to that Rogue, The Loved Ones, Razorback
Literally came here to mention The Loved Ones.
Razorback is so good, especially visually.
Sissy is another very good one!
Oh also Rogue, Bait & Boar (all animal horror Aussie films) I’m also from Australia haha
There's genuinely so many considering how relatively small our film industry is. Can't really think why that is, Aussie culture doesn't lend itself too well to horror as far as Im aware
I mean, we do have some of the world’s most famous serial killers
I can think of Ivan Milat off the top of my head, who else we got?
Also black water, the loved ones, and I'm sure many more!
Can't believe I forgot The Loved Ones, that shit horrified me in high school
I just noticed after commenting someone added it below before me. It's such a great bogan horror haha that girl and her dad are fucking awful
Came here to recommend The Tunnel too, it’s so underrated/unknown.
I was locked in the second Peter Overton was the first shot of the film. Rewatched it tonight because of this thread and gee it had me half covering my face in a couple scenes. The creatures weird mix of human and animal behaviours feels really unique and frightening.
Another forgotten one based off a short story is Cargo starring Martin Freeman, post apocalyptic zombie film. Devastating ending.
That was the Netflix movie right? I couldn't stomach it because of the unique way the infection was shown, just so uniquely disgusting for me.
Will never rewatch, cried way too hard
I was all in on wolf creek until Mick casually removes that backpackers dick and tosses it away lol i just couldn't
Well, that confirms my choice not to watch it!
Lake Mungo is a premium Aussie submission imo
The fact I was able to name as many suggestions as I did and still miss absolute bangers like Lake Mungo is exactly what I'm talking about, Australia has been on one for like 20 years when it comes to horror
Don’t forget the horror comedies 100 bloody acres and Wyrmwood! They’re brilliant too and Aussie!
That's because Australians have jet black humour and that goes hand in hand with horror. I loved Talk To Me which was an absolute gem. My favourite Aussie horror is Razorback though 😎
My absolute favorite Animal horror movie. Visually, it's such a beautiful movie and the human villains in it are so scummy, it's wonderful.
Lake Mungo
I’ll add Snowtown, Killing Ground and Dying Breed. Also throw in some thrillers like The Stranger, Nitram and Van Diemen’s Land.
Love all those films but never heard The Tunnel!? I’m a huge fan of horror and especially Aussie horror and feel I’ve dropped the ball here!
You have homework tonight
Another Aussie here , storm warning is one that I never hear anyone talk about but I personally like a lot
The Babadook is a lot of fun
Lake Mungo
‘The loved ones’ is also a good Aussie one
Re Wolf Creek - they do a lot of that in the US, stereotyping and vilifying isolated rural people. Wrong Turn, Hills Have Eyes, etc. Cabin in the Woods highlighted the trope with the Zombie Redneck Torture Family. Wolf Creek seems like an extension of the trope to Australia (and more that I'm thinking about it, maybe Midsommar does it in Sweden, though there's a lot of research and nuance I'm aware of that went into that).
Wolf Creek isn't really stereotyping rural Aussies in my view, though I suppose Mick kind of is in line with some people's view on the outback. I took it more of a satire on Australians and their general hostility to foreigners in general. I haven't done any research to back this up, maybe the director was pointing and laughing at the Northern Territory. I do hate all the US movies you mentioned for that reason though, feels so reductive and exploitative
I can’t recall their names, but if I remember correctly Mick is a mixture of two different serial killers who murdered backpackers in the outback? The satire angle is an interesting one! Two things can be true:)
He's definitely at least partially inspired by Ivan Milat, I'm not real familiar with Aussie history so not sure if there were any other inspirations but there was a guy in this thread listing off serial killers like they were his kids, he'd be the one to ask!
As an Italian, I think the best horror movies made in my country are: Blood And Black Lace (arguably first slasher in history) Suspiria Deep Red Don't Torture A Duckling (more of a rural thriller but very bleak) Zombie (Fulci's movie) The New York Ripper Cannibal Holocaust (except the animal cruelty) Eaten Alive (except the animal cruelty) Dellamorte Dellamore They're unfortunately all pretty old, current horror scene here in Italy seems to just be very low budget stuff. An exception was A Classic Horror Story released on Netflix a couple years ago, but I wasn't a huge fan of that one.
For some reason Dellamorte Dellamorte (or Cemetery Man as I've known it) was on Bravo all the time when I was in high school, and I watched it whenever i could. I just watched it the other night for the first time in like 20+ years and it's as weird and wonderful as I remember!
There's Home Education from 2023 which I thought was one of the freshest horror experiences at the cinema I've had in a while. It can be watched either as a psychological tragedy or a folk horror, it's great both ways! Also from 2023 there's Hai mai avuto paura?, gothic horror with a certain creature that people may be interested in. Spoiler: >! werewolf !< (the stereotypical treatment of a gypsy character left me conflicted though)
Mario Bava is a true MAESTRO!
I'm a huge fan of Italian horror. They are batshit crazy in the best possible way lol
Deep Red is amazing
Dario Argento is just pure 👄👌
Suspira was BRUTAL
I love the cheesy, dated, super-horny 60s-80s Italian horror movies!
It's a shame that we don't produce good stuff anymore. Sure we still make some good films but they are not exactly suited f9r a casual watch.
British: 28 Days Later Dog Soldiers Update: Eden Lake Calibre Dead Man's Shoes Severance Wilderness
*Dog Soldiers* makes a great double-bill with *Attack the Block*
Just rewatched Dog Soldiers a few days ago and man, what a fun movie
I watched it with Shaun of the Dead and they were a great combo! I also love dog soldiers though!
Eden Lake and Calibre are great horrors. I'd also say Dead Man's Shoes, probably more of a thriller but it's a fantastic film.
You can add Severance and Wilderness.
I don’t know how many friends I’ve had watch severance - it’s basically a comedy and then THAT scene hits, and omg. It never lets up after that.
The first 10 minutes of 28 weeks later might be the best 10 minutes of horror ever filmed. Creepy, scary and fullout horror for normal people.
Pontypool, from Canada.
Apparently The Changeling is Canadian too. One of my all time favourites. And Black Christmas!
David Cronenberg is Canadian and his filmography cannot be unmentioned: Shivers, Rabid, The Brood, Scanners, Videodrome, The Dead Zone, The Fly, Dead Ringers (which I really love)
I would like to add Black Mountain Side (2014) to that recommendation. The acting isn't great, but the practical effects are awesome. I have Pontypool, Black Mountain Side, and The Thing as my unofficial trapped in a winter setting horror trilogy.
Can't say enough about this one.
Well you better not say too much about it, m'dude. M'dude. M'dude.
Was just going to say this! Such a good movie!
I'll throw in Dawn of the Dead (2004) even if it was co produced with a couple of other countries
British The Descent Under the skin 28 days later The house that dripped blood Theatre of blood Peeping Tom Dog soldiers Howl That awful jack in the box one that some how got a sequel Shaun of the dead Hannibal Fabric Day of the Triffids Rocky Horror Picture Show Prevenge I'm sure there are plenty more!
Kill List, The Wicker Man, Let Us Prey, Attack the Block, The Ritual, Triangle, A Dark Song, Isolation, Eden Lake, The Woman in Black, Ghostwatch, Caveat, Men, Possum, Apostle, Lair of the White Worm Just to add a few more to your British list 😉
Hehe thanks omg I can't believe I forgot wicker man and eden lake and men! Classics. Don't think I've seen possum or isolation or let us prey so will have to check them out
+1 for Kill List, such a deeply unsettling movie. Ben Wheatley is great - worth adding A Field In England to the list too imo!
Day of the Triffids!!!
Here are some from Spain: REC 1&2 El Orfanato (The Orphanage) Mientras duermes (Sleep Tight) El laberinto del fauno (Pan's Labyrinth) La piel que habito (The Skin I Live In) Los otros (The Others) Mil gritos tiene la noche (Pieces) ¿Quién puede matar a un niño? (Who Can Kill A Child?) Los ojos de Julia (Julia's Eyes) La isla mínima (Marshland) and any Rodrigo Sorogoyen film aren't exactly terror, but amazing thrillers with disturbing elements.
OMG… I love The Skin I Live In, but I don’t know anyone who’s seen it! This is literally the first time I’ve heard someone else mention it.
I'm not the biggest Almodóvar fan, but that film was fantastic. I have to rewatch it. In Spain it is relatively well-known if you're into terror/more experimental cinema, but I doubt that it's very popular in other countries.
You’d think it would have global popularity because of Antonia Banderas, but it’s practically unknown here in Australia.
Saw it a week ago, I love how crazy it got 💀
It was one of those movies that, when it ended, I thought “WTF did I just watch?!" That's literally my favourite kind of movie. It includes things like Tusk, The Lobster and High-Rise.
I feel like I hear it referenced a lot... enough that it got spoiled for me a decade after it's release. I was literally planning on watching it like that week, and then it randomly got spoiled. I'm still mad, and still haven't seen it because of that.
You obviously know a lot more people with good taste than I do.
The Skin I Live In has such a messed up premise. Bravo to that film
Gonna tack on The Coffee Table. Not straight horror but it is horrifying. Very horror adjacent
> Mil gritos tiene la noche Damn pieces is a deep cut. Will add Devil's Backbone to the list. Cronos too.
By Cronos you mean La invención de Cronos? That one is Mexican if I'm not mistaken. I would add Los cronocrímenes (Timecrimes), which sounds similar lol
New Zealand. We have: Brain-dead, (aka Dead Alive) Bad Taste The Frighteners What We Do In The Shadows Black Sheep Deathgasm Housebound Coming Home in the Dark Mostly horror-comedy but a damn good strike rate overall. Could call Coming Home a thriller but I'd call it horror and it's exceptionally good.
From France, I'd recommend The Crimson Rivers (Les Rivières Pourpres). I'd compare it to Seven, being horror/thriller.
Martyrs is such a good french movie too ! Easily one of my favorites movies of all time
High tension (haute tension) is really cool too
I’d add raw into the mix for French horror. It was an unexpected twist and loved it
Dang, Jean Reno AND Vincent Cassel. I'll have to check that one out!
Swede here as well, and my recommendations are: - Koko-di Koko-da - Knocking (Knackningar) - Let the right one in - Häxan (1922)
Koko-di Koko-da was wild
Mexico: Cronos. Somos lo que hay. Tigers are not afraid. The Untamed. The Similars
To add to this: Santa Sangre (1989) Huesera (2022) Hasta el Viento Tiene Miedo (1968) La Maldición de la Llorona (1963)
Some others, classics: Poison for the fairies. [The Vampire (1957)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051151/?ref_=ext_shr) [Skeleton of Mrs. Morales ](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052784/?ref_=ext_shr)
Desaparecer por completo on Netflix was great. A modern twist on a bad case of brujeria. It just worked and stayed grounded with the eerie possibility that it could happen to you.
American here- I love The Devils Backbone. One of my favorite ghost stories
Malaysian here 🇲🇾. 'Dukun' and 'Tiger Stripes' are two of my favourite local horror films that came out these last few years. 'Roh' is also apparently very good but I have yet to see it.
Roh was such a delight. I found it from an old folk horror thread. It's a beautiful looking film as well.
From South Africa: [Fried Barry](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmEzcw7qLHU) - An alien takes over a deadbeat's body and takes it on a joyride through seedy locations. [Gaia](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwJNP-CX1QQ) - Survivalists in the forest experience some psychedelic body horror. [Night Drive](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipNEdQfOPuk) - Horror in a game reserve - this was particularly bad so not recommending it, but it was the first local horror I watched. [Breathing In ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeiGUg2-ukk)- Upcoming horror set during the Boer War. I'm excited for this one.
When evil lurks by Demian rugna. Argentina
And his first one Terrified. Weird but very creepy!
Is that the one with the creatures you can only see at a certain angle?
German : der goldene Handschuh (the golden glove) It's very disturbing. Nosferatu(no need to explain really) Antikörper (Antibodie(s)) Haven't seen it yet but heard great things about it. Gonger - das Böse vergisst nie (Gonger- evil never forgets) A TV movie from 2009 . Its kind of like the grudge. Also its on YouTube.
I s2g you could *smell* the golden glove
Antibodies is such an underrated thriller. Definitely deserves more attention.
From Finland I’d recommend Hatching (2022) in case you’re not bothered by the metaphoric horror trend :)
American here, but I'll limit it to a few films that were at least set in my state, Massachusetts: Jaws (1975) Lords of Salem (2012) The VVitch (2015) Session 9 (2001)
Ireland - The hole in the ground, great skin walker style movie where a woman feels like her young son isn’t really her son
Would also recommend “You are not my mother” (2022) set in Dublin with similar underlying themes to “Hole in the ground” and “The Hallow” but I preferred it to both of those.
The Tunnel is always my biggest recommendation! (Australia). Talk to Me was absolutely incredible too 
I’m Canadian and these aren’t traditional horror but nonetheless horrific and traumatizing. The Peanut butter Solution and The Dog that Stopped The War. Just typing them gives me feelings. If you know, then you know.
The Peanut butter Solution is bonkers! Thanks for validating my childhood trauma by classifying it as horror bc that was not a suitable sleep over movie for 6 yr olds.
From Canada, my fave would be Ginger Snaps.
I'm from Argentina, and in addition to recommending all of Damian Rugna's movies, I have a couple of recommendations. The attachment Diaries, 2021. History of the Occult, 2020. (Kinda similar to Late Night with the devil) What happened on New Year's Eve, 2022.
I also have some recommendations of Native American/First Nations movies: Slash/Back Prey Blood Quantum The Dead Can’t Dance Mohawk
Blood Quantum was such a fresh take on the zombie genre!
Clearcut (1991, Canadian) I watched this at much too young an age, and it's been seered into my brain ever since.
Taiwan: - The Sadness (oddly, it went absolutely under the radar in my country) - Detention - The Tag-along
I am from Ukraine, and my favorite horror film is “Viy” (1967) based on the story by the literary classic Nikolai Gogol.
I'm English so my favourite is probably An American Werewolf in London but I also love Shaun of The Dead. Cockneys Vs Zombies was pretty fun too
I recommend Cure. it’s a 90s movie from Japan. I lived in Takayama in the early 2000s. I would watch some kind of horror or thriller flick weekly with some buddies of mine.
Just commenting to say great request and absolutely brilliant suggestions here from round the world. I have got some new films myself from this and I am big on foreign horror. Very happy lol
Hi! I'm from Poland! I saw and recommend: - "Demon" (2015) - "Tower. A Bright Day." (2017) - "Mother Joan of the Angels" (1961) - "The Lure" (2015) - "The Devil" (1972) - "Werewolf" (2018) - "The Wolf" (1983) - its campy, but good - "Hellhole" (2022)
I’m Canadian and I’ve noticed that our horror movies tend to have a sense of humour. Ginger Snaps is an early 2000s classic, but I also recommend Humanist Vampire Seeking Suicidal Person for those with a more dry sense of humour. Hair of the Beast is also fun if you can get past the subpar CGI.
I absolutely love Ginger Snaps, rewatched it for probably the first time in 20 years recently and had forgotten how good it is. I wish Katharine Isabelle had gone onto greater mainstream success.
I’m from the U.S. but love foreign horror films. Some recommendations. The Innocents, Blood red sky, The Silence, Marshland la isla minima, the Sadness, Svaha: the sixth finger, Chaser, When evil lurks, Raw, next time I’ll aim for the heart, what we become, the Queen of black magic, angst, demons, Baskin, kill list, Satan’s Slaves, May the devil take you, ringu, summer of 84, terrified, History of the Occult, so many more. I think that foreign horror is overlooked by US audiences or remade so poorly. I keep editing this comment because I have so many foreign (to me) recommendations. Great thread and recommendations.
My wife is French and we have Fransat to watch French TV. A few years ago there was a three part horror on the Arte channel that was broadcast over a couple of nights that I thought pretty damn good: Au-delà des Murs or "Beyond the Walls". You can find it with English subtitles though I had to watch it in French. [https://youtu.be/M5dx1Se7vp0?si=KzG6hFSXA2N7kGAa](https://youtu.be/M5dx1Se7vp0?si=KzG6hFSXA2N7kGAa) There was also a Police drama with a supernatural/horror element called Zone Blanche that ran for a couple of seasons on one of the French TV channels. Again, you can find it dubbed or subtitled for English. [https://youtu.be/BYOMUfC4Npw?si=-\_gn1Ghj1TqD98Xr](https://youtu.be/BYOMUfC4Npw?si=-_gn1Ghj1TqD98Xr) For British horror films I'd list: Eden Lake [https://youtu.be/rJkO9HBXuhc?si=zkjZGzJsmmM6Nl8C](https://youtu.be/rJkO9HBXuhc?si=zkjZGzJsmmM6Nl8C) Severence [https://youtu.be/IDe7ifRUJWI?si=FQiQh\_YE7aGS\_mTe](https://youtu.be/IDe7ifRUJWI?si=FQiQh_YE7aGS_mTe) Dog Soldiers [https://youtu.be/UX9S3hdgZ5g?si=pyeo7fcw4sk3v\_zT](https://youtu.be/UX9S3hdgZ5g?si=pyeo7fcw4sk3v_zT) Let Us Prey [https://youtu.be/J5Cskj8Asas?si=7fmSW0FBFqVlR8G2](https://youtu.be/J5Cskj8Asas?si=7fmSW0FBFqVlR8G2) There are some more I can think of but can't remember the titles of for the moment.
From Belgium Man bites dog (disturbing mockumentary, not for everyone. In Belgium it is consider a black comedy but the movie made a big polemic)
Pin (1988). A Canadian slow burn horror movie, with a satisfying finish.
Netherlands: - Moloch - Don't speak no evil (partly spoken in Dutch) - De Kuthoer (the fucking bitch) - Sint (Saint, about the Dutch equivalent of Santaclaus) - Zwart Water (Black Water) Some nice oldies: - The Lift - Amsterdamned (might consider it a thriller tho, because it's about a scuba serial killer) - The Johnsons
New Zealand. Coming home in the dark; Black Sheep: Braindead; Deathgasm; I actually don't know many, most are Horror comedy too. Have heard of Loop Track, but haven't seen it yet.
I thoroughly enjoyed Housebound
I’m from Canada, and I’m proud That David Cronenberg is from here, Toronto in particular. If you haven’t already, catch his “The Fly” and “Videodrome”.
I’m from the states but I really enjoy foreign horror. These are a few I especially like: **Korea** I saw the devil The Wailing Memories of Murder The Host **Spanish Language Horror** Terrified [rec] Tigers are not Afraid The Orphange Shrew’s Nest **Germany/Austria/Czech/** Come and See Schramm Funny Games (the English version is a shot for shot remake from the same director but imo both are worth watching Goodnight Mommy (skip the us version) The Cremator Cabinet of Dr Caligari I also have recommendations for SE Asia/Japan/France/Australia/Scandinavian/various European countries but this list is getting kind of unwieldy already. I can also expand on any of the above if you find a niche you like
New Korean movie Exhuma was pretty good IMO.
Saw it last night and thought it was really good. A little long but the mystery aspect had me hooked.
The Wailing is god-tier
All of Buttgereit's movies for Germany really
The Orphanage is my favorite horror of all time!
I’m Australian, which has been well-covered here. But my family is Hungarian. White God (Fehèr Isten) is a fantastic animal horror. If you do watch it, take the time to read a bit about how it’s made, it is actually a feel-good story of sorts!
So, this is going to be a hit or a miss depending on what you're in the mood for. This is a movie called, Neeya? (You?/It's you?). A very old Tamil Indian movie. The premise is this, a group of guys accidentally kill the mate of a Nagin (100 yrs old shape shifting celestial eternally young holy snake. Basically like a nymph?), thereby disrupting their ascension to heaven. The Nagin takes the form/possess, dont remember exactly which, of the protagonist's wife to avenge her lover. How they figure things out and escape forms rest of the movie. It's very old like from the 70's. And it might not appeal to western tastes but it's a cult classic from India. Remade in several languages, with an iconic soundtrack.
As a Russian, our horror movie is "Queen of Spades" who don’t know, It’s Russian Legend, about a woman, who gift soul to devil, to date the guy, and kill guy's girlfriend, but devil lied, and kill the guy, so she did suicide, and right now she’s a evil soul, and there’s a Russian ritual, you need in mirror draw ladder with door, door in up, and ladder to down, how many steps, it’s 13, and you need to turn off/disable light, and you need hold doors and windows, and how many windows and doors you has, and this number of people need to be, to everyone hold, but if you forgot one guy, everyone die, there’s a one story, Everyone too tried to call her, but one was scared, and hide in closet, and Queen Of Spades are come, and kill everyone, while that woman was still in closet, and she saw it (a little bite) and she was so scared, that she become mute, but movie name, Queen Of Spades!
Can't bring up Canadian horror without mentioning Ginger Snaps. That is THE Canadian Horror movie in my mind. Also The Void, Pyewacket, and Black Mountain Side to name a few of my favs. I also only recently learned that the Cronenberg's are Canadian.

That's a great list! I'ma steal it😊 I've seen and liked a lot of your choices!
Indonesian here! and boyyy do we have some good one (mostly supernatural/paranormal stuff because of our culture though, so not sure if that's your cup of tea): 1. Macabre (this one's a slasher!) 2. Impetigore 3. Satan's Slaves (haven't watched this one honestly, but everyone seems to enjoy it a lot)
The Maid, a Singaporean horror film where a foreign domestic worker gets employed by a couple and discovers their sinister plans
Mexican here: Alucarda is my favorite national horror movie (you can find it on Youtube). Hasta El Viento Tiene Miedo, Veneno Para Las Hadas, El Libro de Piedra; all of them are good. But Alucarda is the only one I'd put among the greatest ever.
From India Stree, Tumbad, Bramayugam, Manichitrathazhu/Chandramukhi/Bhool Bhoolaiyya, Bhootakalam, 1920, Chorii, Pari, 13b, Go goa gone, Pizza (tamil), Ragini mms
> Stree hilarious movie. *vicky pleeeease*. cannot wait for the sequel to be released. I also loved Romancham.
If you loved Romancham, watch Aavesham. Its by the same director. Its not horror but its such a GOOD time.
Country - India Tumbbad (2018) - Hindi Boothakalam (2022) - Malayalam Bhramayugam (2024) - Malayalam
I’m an Aussie and I highly recommend The Loved Ones.
Im not a big fan of Danish media in general despite having lived here my whole life, so I haven't watched it myself, but I've heard good things about "Speak No Evil" (2022)!
Argentina: Terrified Venezuela: God's exorcism Colombia: Orozco The Embalmer The Squad
Black Christmas, My Bloody Valentine (the original) and Videodrome 🇨🇦 Where can I find The Conference?

Here's a few Portuguese Horror movies: * * * * Hope you enjoy them.
Attack the block
Brazil cinema isn't the strongest on horror, but Zé do Caixão (A.K.A. Coffin Joe) it's the most memorable representative of the gender here. Mujinca never studied cinema, even through he managed to do some really professional techniques on his first movies
Mexico: this are classic ones, but believe me, worth it. -veneno para las hadas (poison for the fairies) 1986 -el libro de piedra (The Book of stone) 1969 -hasta el viento tiene miedo (even the wind is afraid) 1968 The most recent ones that i love -somos lo que hay (we are what we are) 2010 -huesera (the bone woman) 2022 (edit: format. Im on mobile)
From Germany "Hell" (2011), an apocalyptic movie by Tim Fehlbaum. The name is a word play, referencing (obviously) the English word "hell" as well as the German word "hell", meaning "bright". The main theme is that due to unusual solar activity, Europe is rapidly turning into a desert, civilization collapses as people are desperate for food, water and shelter from the increased UV radiation. Also, cannibalism.
México. Anything by Carlos Enrique Taboada
This is a very underrated ghost movie from Thailand. It is only known by a few countries (mostly its close neighbors) in Southeast Asia because the other version which was made many years later got really famous throughout Southeast Asia and kinda overshadowed it as the original. The movie I'm talking about is called Nang Nak (1999). It is based on a true story. Recently the leading actor (Winai Kraibutr) in that movie just passed away. He truly was an amazing actor and a very beautiful person inside and outside. God bless his soul✝️
The Platform/El Hoyo (2019) - Spain
Brazil - "At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul" (1964) by Zé do Caixão (José Mojica Marins - Coffin Joe). Available for free on youtube with English subtitles)
Btw theres a new horror movie from sweden called "ur mörkret/into darkness". (It was filmed super close to where i live!!) Would love to know where to watch it if someone knows 🥲
Germany: Anatomie (+ Anatomie 2) Heilstätten Antikörper Die Farbe (its a Color out of Space adaption)
I'm Singaporean. Here's a few recommendations: Haunted Changi (Not the best found footage there is, but it's worth a shot) The Maid (I remember this one well. Once again, not the scariest, but worth a shot) Zombiepura (Horror comedy with a military setting. Pretty good story) 23:59 (Another horror movie set in an army base. I love this one. Has a sequel which I haven't watched)
Horror Express (1972) is, technically, a Spanish film, and a favorite.
Pontypool is a decent Canadian zombie movie with a VERY Canadian twist (the English language is turning people into zombies and the solution is to speak French). Much of it takes place inside a radio station getting calls from outside about what's going. The performances are really strong in it. I actually was farm sitting in Pontypool when I watched it for the first time which was a particularly fun experience.
Here is some good horror/horror-adjacent stuff from the Philippines. I don't necessarily *love* all the films here, but they're all very well-made and worth watching.

Belgium: I would say 'Yummy' if you like horror comedy.
From Estonia I recommend "November".
I *loved* the Conference!!! Check out British and Scottish werewolf movies, they’re pretty awesome, like Howl and Wild Country!
I am not from Uruguay but I like their 2010 movie La Casa Muda (The Silent House).
