The Thai movie "Shutter". Really good.
I loved that movie so much. Great from the beginning to the end
I’m surprised The Orphanage didn’t pop up more. That film was so creepy and sad
Wait it didn't?! I actually voted for that movie and it frightened me a bit when I first saw it
I love The Orphanage!
The first time I saw it, I had just finished watching it when my brother came in the room and saw me heaving sobs and asked me if someone had died. It hits home for me. What a gorgeous film.
Some films I consider to be the best foreign horror from each country
Italy: Suspiria
France: martyrs
Japan: Godzilla
Sweden: let the right one in
South Korea: tale of 2 sisters
Germany: nosferatu
Mexico: Devils backbone
Spain: could you kill a child
Morroco: kandisha
Celluloid Therapy fair point although I would consider the original to be a horror as its about the horrors of nuclear warfare. If not then Audition would be my pick for best Japanese horror film
I said Suspiria also in my list. I also said Demons and Inferno.
Celluloid Therapy Fulci definitely made great movies, but the mood, camera work and plots of Argento were better in my opinion. I will have to check that movie out, that’s one of the only Italian horror movies I think I’ve never heard of.
And Martyrs tops them ALL!!!!
Risingofthephoenixx x That movie is a harsh first watch, like Unbreakable was when it came out.
I'm so happy that The Wailing made the list! There's something about it that's so different from regular horror movies like it's equally haunting and disturbing. Would definitely recommend.
Yes ! Probably my favorite horror movie in recent years .
One of my favourites is from the 50s, Eyes Without a Face. Beautiful haunting French film. Glad to see so much love for Let the Right One In!
I loved Eyes Without a Face! Very poetic. I can't include in the list cause it's not a foreign movie for me, but definitely worth watching.
*60 same as 🏴 peeping and course psycho yet 🇫🇷 given less ❤️ till now 👏 to 🇺🇸 fans for subs > dubs 💪
“The Skin I Live In”,will be considered a classic.
Not a horror.
Very similar to Eyes Without a Face
I saw this after reading the review here, I must say it was fantastic. Highly recommended!
i loved this process of voting way more than the ig/twitter poll format 🤠
OMG! I'm so happy you mentioned Noroi: The Curse! I didn't think it'd be mentioned at all! 💗💚💗💚
Inside (2007), High Tension (2003), Raw (2016), Ichi The Killer (2001), Audition (1999), Bedevilled (2010), The Butcher (2007), and I Saw The Devil (2010) are some of my favourite foreign films!!!
Ichi the Killer was amazing 👏 haven't heard it mentioned in years!
Martyrs was way too much for me. But I still saw it again for some reason? I forced it upon my best friend and she has never forgiven me for it! But I needed someone to share the experience!! There's a point for me when disturbing just becomes unpleasant and there's no entertainment in that for me, but I agree that it's easily one of the most horrifying and well-done films of our time. My head hurts and my stomach aches when I think about that film too much. I'm happy to hear Eden Lake mentioned! That one stuck with me for a while, too.
p.s: the pool scene from Let the Right One In is easily one of the best horror scenes ever filmed.
Noroi The Curse is my fav. Thats classic your dog has always been behind you in all the videos and we never knew! XD
These stat videos are my favorite. Thank you for these and all the great content
Nothing I like more than sitting down at night after a crap day and playing a Spookyastronauts video. Always enjoyable and learning about lots of films I need to see. You do great work Emma! And this one ended with one of my favourites (Troll Hunter) and also an outtake of cute Grommit 🤗
Awww thank you Slops this means the world to me x
I am so pleased you mentioned Hausu (House). Hausu is my go-to when people recommend “strange” films, “you think that’s strange, I see you and raise you Hausu”. Two Aussie films that are really good are The Loved Ones and Wolf Creek. Eyes Without a Face is great as well. I believe Almodovar was highly influenced by it when making The Skin I’m In.
2 videos in, already subscribed, great content
Thanks for putting these lists together, Emma! After watching Inside earlier this month I thought I needed a break from extreme French horror, but thanks to you I'm now inspired to watch Martyrs sooner rather than later. The only film that feels like it's missing from this list is British film, The Descent. A masterpiece for sure.
Thank you so much I appreciate that. YES I LOVED THE DESCENT!!!
I really liked High Tension. A little surprised it didn’t make the list. I thought Raw should’ve been higher than Train to Busan
That's on my top 3 ! Intense film.
This list makes me think this youtuber's community has zero idea about non-American horror movies and only watched the most recent and the most popular ones.
I know, right?!
I was like 11 or 12 when "Haute Tension" came to the US and even seeing the trailer, I was like "Damn! This film definitely looks SCARY! Hell yes!"
The twist kinda ruined it for me. Other than that it was pretty good.
High tension is super intense, but ultimately doesnt make any sense. The timeline just doesnt add up. That was a big turn off for me
Oh yes my favorites all in one grouping!! Awesome review Emma. I love foreign films so much because they just know how to do it right!!
Another awesome stats video! To be honest, I'm very surprised "Funny Games" and "Pan's Labyrinth" didn't make the list, I see those mentioned all the time. I'm with you on "Audition"-great film, but I don't think I would put it in my top 10.
Favorite channel on CZcams! ❤❤❤
Woohoo!! We Spooky Astronauts love love Disturbing!!! Ohh, just saw you mentioned Eden Lake which is excellent!! And yes, I did guess Martyrs for #1!!!!
Great picks from the community! And thank you Emma for putting this together 🏆
Thank you so much!
I figure Martyrs or Let the Right One In would be first 🤞🏻 I voted for Rec personally because yasssssss
Great films, all! I am surprised Dead Snow didn't make it.
Great review Emma check out Bone Tomahawk thanks again Emma.
I'm with you, Emma. :) I prefer The Wailing to Train of Busan, but they're both some of my favorite movies. I Saw the Devil is probably my fave, but A Tale of Two Sisters by the same director is also great. Martyrs is one of my favorite films of all time, after Pan's Labyrinth.
Love your stats videos !! Keep them coming. I voted ... Dario Argento : Italian film director's Suspiria. Thanks for doing what you do.
Love the Suspiria love. She even mentioned Tenebrae elsewhere. But I think I like Terror at the/Opera best.
Noroi - is really something! Watched it long time ago...still remember those weird images and what got me is the story...they way it was cleverly developed (at first you get tons of questions and weird imagery, but later on it starts to make sense).
You should also check Japanese: the Attic (very obscure Japanese horror movie about a woman and the mummy at the attic - so cool! I think it's around 2003-2008 movie)
Everybody knows about Train to Busan, but not everybody knows about animated prequel (or was it sequel? Not sure, but it was really good and had an awesome twist in the end 🙃 )
Great video. And other often overlooked foreign film are The House at the End of Time.
I love these stat videos.
I voted for Kairo/ Pulse. I am glad it showed up on at least one of the lists, even if it was the least important list presented.
I would love for you to do a video on a Noroi the Curse. It is another one of my favorites. See you soon.
I loved all of your recommendations! They are all so good in their own rights. Noroi was so creepy and loved every bit of it. The Skin I Live In shook me to my core but I swear I loved it. All great movies...2 thumbs up Emma!
Nice to see the Orphanage on here! I went in completely blind and it genuinely blew me away, so haunting and yeah it really stuck with me!
Would highly recommend ILS/THEM (French-Romanian), FUNNY GAMES (Austrian), and LIVIDE (French) for those who haven't seen them...
I thought Haneke was German, not Austrian-?
So happy to see my pick as nr 1!! Not surprised though.. I think Martyrs was the only film that I immediately watched again after it ended (not really sure what that says about me.. lol). Thanks so much for the list Emma, I'm definitely adding some of the entries to my watchlist. *
I can't believe it took me this long, and having to hear you say the title and "vampire film" close together, for me to finally understand the name!
Great list- on my Top are Noroi, REC, The Wailing and I Saw The Devil. :)
Troll Hunter is so good, yet I haven't thought about it in years. Thanks for the reminder!
The Others and Don't Look Now deserve a place in a top 10, or at less mention them in a video like this. Regards from Spain, Take care and continue your good work!
Happy to see The Wailing on there. It's a masterpiece of a film, even outside of its horror elements. In terms of 80s and 90s foreign horror, I suspect they may just be harder to come by in general. Plus the boom started around the early 2000s, when everything thereafter was released on the easy to find DVD format. And yay for suggesting Noroi! Didn't think anyone knew about that one.
It was just ok. The 3rd act was god awful and the forced twists were insulting
Great list, Thirst is one of my favourite horrors.
I'm just glad The Orphanage got some attention 😊
Have not got close to finishing this vid Just want to say spooky your doing brilliant work in the horror community. Keep it up
Martyrs! Absolutely love that film and how beautifully disturbing it is. Like you said in the video, where's the love for Thirst?! Awesome video as always, Emma :)
THIRST IS A FAV FOR SURE ! :D
Is it weird that I’m proud I’ve seen almost every one of these? I’m as shocked as you are about the Ringu omission, and the Pulse ranking. I didn’t dig Raw as much as some of these others. For those who loved Busan, I urge you to seek out I Am a Hero. It’s fucking awesome. Rec is one of the few films that scared the crap out of me. Martyrs scarred me for life, but was excellent. I loved High Tension and thought MAYBE it would make the list, but a lot of people didn’t like it, I guess. The Skin I’m In sounds like an updated version of an old French film called Eyes Without a Face. So creepy and messed up. Frontiers and They should have gotten honorable mentions. I’m sure I’ve forgotten a few, but great video!
Audition! Hands down the best Japanese horror film ever made (in my opinion, of course!
Tickle, tickle, tickle....ok I didn’t like this movie.😒
Agreed.... while I LOVE the New Wave of French movies, "Inside", "Frontiers", "Haute Tension" etc, "Audition" is the biggest mind-fuck ever put on film... sheer brilliance.
Yeah audition brilliantly weird at times. The woman is fkd up
“Norway is such a stunning country” - awwww, thanks! 😁
Martyrs deserves the number one spot for me, but we need to give Ringu a chance!!
Love your vids 🖤🥰
Nice! Have some new movies to add to the “watch list.”
Why nobody talks about "under the shadow"? That Iranian film is AMAZING!
Thx will check it out
IMO that was overhyped. Worth watching though.
Doctor Sleep - One Of the greatest Movies I’ve ever seen❤️
JAMIE X finally! I thought the same ! It’s a master piece of horror
It really is
We love you Spooky Queen ❤️
I discovered your channel today and I am blessed..
I literally have seen every foreign film on both lists with the one exception of *Demonte Colony (2015)* lol. I'll make sure to watch it tomorrow evening. I am surprised *Frontier(s) (2007)* and *High Tension (2003)* did not make either list. Martyr, Inside, Frontiers, High Tension and Frontier(s) are on my top 20 extreme horror film list along with many of the j-horror and South Korean films. I will also check out your additional recommendations (House,Noroi,The Skin I live In and Troll Hunter [I might have seen this one but just don't remember].
I have seen every movie on this list, except Noroi: The Curse, which I had never even heard of. Considering I gobbled up all the Asian horror I could find in the late '90's/early 00's, I'm surprised this didn't come across my radar. It's currently on Shudder (maybe other platforms as well) and if you're a fan of J-horror/found footage, it's a very good one. It's much more complex than the average found-footage movie, with shades of Blair Witch and Uzumaki (especially in the mysterious use of symbols). I especially enjoy the way this movie acts as a documentary, mystery, while also including elements of other tv shows as part of the mystery. So many fun layers here. Good, good stuff.
You should definitely include your personal top ten when you do these videos!
I think number one is gonna be either Let the right one in, Martyrs, or Ringu. If I had to choose a favorite it would probably be Let the right one in, such a beautiful movie.
Edit: I forgot that Suspiria counted ahhh!!! Definitely would have that at number two because I like LTROI just a tiny bit more. Martyrs would be my number 3. Great video! 🖤
For years I have been trying to figure out what Inside was called. I watched it when it came out and it has stuck with me as one of the most f’ed up films I’ve ever seen but I could not for the life of me remember the name. I was actually going to ask you if you knew, so thanks for this list!
Some great inclusions, but I'm shocked that Ringu and Ju-on: The Grudge were nowhere to be seen! What are people thinking?
Also, if it's films outside of the States, where were the British horror films? You mentioned Eden Lake, but how about Dog Soldiers, Event Horizon, Under the Skin or The Descent for starters (let alone classics like 28 Days Later, The Wicker Man, Hellraiser and An American Werewolf in London)?
And the brilliant Aussie eco-horror Long Weekend deserves a mention. The atmosphere is fantastic.
Absolutely agree with everything on your list. All are fantastic horror movies!!
BASKIN is also a recommendation for some Turkish horror ;) Not surprised it wasn't on the list, but still great!
omg what a weird film.
I loved The Orphanage so much. A personal favorite. I need to look and see if you’ve ever done a review on Terrified (Argentina). Not a perfect movie, but I thought it was a fun Halloween night movie. 🍿
I chose Audition 😄 Can't wait to see which films make it!
Just recently watched Belzebuth, a horror movie from Mexico that's on Shudder. Really enjoyed it and would recommend it
I've always been fond of a Chinese movie titled Zhi Xi (Suffocation). It's far from the 'best foreign horror' and likely tame to horror aficionados, however it's billed as 'China's first' psychological thriller.
So clad that Suspiria was in the list. Great freaking movie. Also very happy that Eden Lake got a mention, cause that movie is freaking great !!!
I thought about writing martyrs in the comments until it popped up. I love this movie so much. Watched it a while ago when basically no one knew about it so I'm super happy that it gets the attention it deserves.
I just saw The Host this weekend ... Have not seen any others ... Need to step up my game!!!
I love Martyrs! That movie shook me to my core. I can't believe High Tension, Frontier(s), & Them didn't make the list. Three of my absolute favorites! ❤
Them was a hot mess.
I watched 'Let the right one in' last week for the first time. Watched the remake almost a decade ago, so the Swedish version gave me these bursts of flashbacks every now and then. I don't really know how to compare them because it's been so long, but I really liked the Swedish one a lot.
I would include Triangle, The Ritual, A Dark Song, and Terrified. Would love to hear your favorite Australian horror movies. Personally I love Boy in the Trees, Scare Campaign, and Wyrmwood.
[REC], hands down for me. First time I watched it, there were no subtitles, so it was Spanish only, and it still scared the hell outta me. haha
Close second would be A Tale Of Two Sisters, then El Orfanato.
Dude shout out to your mentioning Noroi and Troll Hunter. Not enough people have seen those and they're really good!
Okay this is after the video... Well that was quite interesting Emma.
(List Spoilers below the line.)
I think that Martyrs kind of freaks regular critics out. I have a friend who likes horror films, but not the way we do, he said he thought Martyrs was 'uneven'. And I thought what does that mean? Did the logic break somewhere. Was the acting bad? Did the plot have holes? I think that the ideas of the film took such a strong turn that he couldn't quite handle it. The mainstream critics have been very slow to get Martyrs. But I think eventually they will catch up. The mainstream critics love the Babadook, The Witch, Let the Right One In and Get Out. They like films with messages of a certain nature. Martyrs is too feral for that. ( I think The Woman, The Girl Next Door, and a few others are in a similar category.) My favorite country for horror in the last few decades is France. (French Belgium as a sidebar.)
Emma a couple of suggestions. I would have voted my true favorite horror film Les Yeux Sans Visage (Eyes without A Face) but I knew everyone else was going to mostly go 21st century, so I didn't want to throw my vote away. Next time maybe a weighted top ten or five list. Then I could put my German silent faves, and others down. But a longer list would provide more nuance. Also it probably should be divided by Centuries with 1999 included in the 21st Century for Ringu and Audition (which I like far more than Ringu).
And let me ask you isn't the Shining really an English film, completely shot there, with English crew? That shows just how confused the anglosphere is. The truth is American and English films are totally intertwined. How about limiting countries? No America, Anglo-Canada (otherwise Cronenberg should be higher.) Australia (sorry), New Zealand, UK. But English speaking productions from other countries are fine (Suspiria). Because really who considers Most of these countries that foreign? Or just an angloshphere list? But no Hollywood. Just my ideas for next time. But that was a great list idea. Do it again in a year or so with slightly different rules.
I love les yeux sans visage :D
I watched The Skin I Live In a few days ago and I went in blind... one of the most disturbing and emotionally confusing films I've ever seen.
In my own opinion I think the best foreign horror is martyrs, that is one movie that has stuck with me for a while, and really truly disturbed me
Audition, Martyrs and let Right one in are good . There are some other ones from past I would have thrown in. Troll Hunters is nice but tad slow at time
Guess:
Let the Right One In
Personal:
Martyrs
i'm surprised that "Funny Games" didn't get brought up at all, especially with how much i used to see it on people's personal CZcams lists. It's nice though because it means there was more room for movies I hadn't checked out yet.
i'm so happy to see that ltroi made it to the article's top 1! i read the book on vacation 10 years ago and the whole story completely changed my life. (also if you're into horror books i definitely recommend checking out john ajvide lindquvist other books, there's a reason he's called the swedish stephen king) it's by far the most rewatched movie i own, i even got an eli x oskar tattoo on my arm :D
Elena Heinisch Itroi??? What’s that?
@@eole123456789 Let the right one in :D
Mm? Ohh..oh! aaaaahhh... ok
I'm so excited for this!!! I clicked as soon as I got the notification 😂
Personal #1 is Let the Right One In, but I am guessing Martyrs, since that seems to be the movie that everyone keeps talking about. I would love to hear your personal Top 10, Emma.
Audition and Tale of Two Sisters deserve to be on that list for sure.
Audition at the time was Miike’s exploitation of rom-com tropes for horrifying purposes, including one of the most infamous jump scares in horror history. Romantic comedies were rather popular (and formulaic) in that late-90s timeframe.
For a list like this, I would have liked to have seen influential films from the more distant past (Giallo subgenre, Bava, silent German expressionist horror, etc). I feel like much of the focus is on relatively recent Asian horror films. Or, better, we could have non-US horror films divided by continent or region or language.
Hi Emma, I like this list although some movies i haven't seen it. I would like you to make a review of 'Starfish' 2018, it's really enthralling and some scenes are beautiful. :)
Best foreign horror movie of all time (my guess): Ringu (1998).
Well, that guess was way off for me. Actually, my favorite foreign language movie (horror and all-time) is Diabolique (1956), which I know you will be covering in 31 Days Of Horror, so can't wait to hear your thoughts on that. You know me, I grew up with the classics (which I include Dario Argento) and never really got into the more extreme films. However, I think your top 10 list is great. Scenes from so many of those films are ingrained in my memory, but I always get nervous about suggesting any of those films to family & friends. You know what I mean? That look that the non-horror fans give you, saying "You like stuff like this?"
I would've thought that 2003's "Haute Tension" (AKA "High Tension" in the US or "Switchblade Romance" in the UK) would've placed since it was from France, it's originally French, the effects were by Giannetto De Rossi, who was a student of the late Lucio Fulci!
The film was also directed and written by Alexandre Aja, who is known for films like:
• "Piranha 3D"
• "P2"
• "Mirrors"
• "Crawl"
• "Maniac", which is a remake of "Maniac Cop"
• "The Hills Have Eyes" remake
• "Horns"
I really like some Norwegian films as wel, for instance; Frittvilt, Villmark & Naboer... Check those out. Also, did you review haute tension yet?
Hey Emma:) I don't even know what's my favorite foreign horror movie haha there's so many to choose but I really loved irreversible. It's not considered horror but disturbing yeah.
Yeah it can be a horror film - New French Extremity.
The Host is amazing!
I also recommend Helter Skelter (2012) which is more psychological than disturbing but it's incredibly underrated. I know you've seen it but I'm just leaving this here for anyone looking for a movie to watch 😊
Lots of movies I still need to watch. I've found Suspria & Martyers hard to find.
I bet most people prefer the Ring remake to Ringu.
Italian movies were shot then dubbed in both Italian and English. Great suggestions. And I realised my South Korean game is weak.
Let the right one in is imho a weak adaption of a great novel.
My pick would probably be either Martyrs, Audition or Suspiria.
Older European horror movies can be brilliant, but have a complicated history of releases in the US. And UK horror is often confused as US.
Have you done any Mario Bava or Lucio Fulci movies btw?
So agree with number 1.
Loved, loved Troll Hunter!!
YAY!
Have you seen The Belko Experiment? Despite it being a simple concept I really enjoyed it
I really like Let the Right One In am glad to see it in all the lists
Audition is the first one that came to mind. Really surprised that Ringu isn't on this list though!
And if anyone says "The Ring", then they're outright lying.Also addressing the video Suspiria is an Italian flick, there's no confusion.
I voted for Raw. I watched it after you reviewed it, love it.
So good!!
Happy to see Martyrs is still so revered. I can't bring myself to watch it ever again but it's brilliant.
I'm surprised Haute Tension and Inside didn't make either list. I'm not a huge fan but I remember them being very popular during the push of French horror.
D M Inside was on the first list. She addressed it several times
Solar Analysis It’s one that I watch frequently, and marvel at the director’s ability for a first time feature. And also show it to whoever I can. Amazing film
Martyrs hands down! There are so many amazing foreign horror films but Martyrs made me feel things i've never felt while watching a movie. It is so tragic and a spiral down the deepest horror filled rabbit hole. Probably wont get any love but it should!
"Three Extremes" Is another anthology out of Asia. It came out in 2004.
Eyes Without A Face. Simply haunting & such a well made movie that warrants repeated viewing. 😺
Martyrs freaked me out so much I totally forgot to even think of Suspiria!!!
I Saw the Devil was my pick :) Great list. I think foreign horror really became popular starting in the 2000s because of the massive remake craze that was going on. Maybe that’s why? I don’t know lol
It's a lot easier getting copies of these film in the internet age. My local video shop had a small section of foreign films but it was limited,
@@damnheat2005 I 100% agree. Many of these films would have remained unseen if it weren't for the internet and streaming services.
