I think Bong Joon Ho, director of Parasite, said it best, “Once you overcome the 1-inch-tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films.”
A lot of my favorite horror movies come from various locations across the globe and I will never pass up the opportunity to recommend these movies.

When Evil Lurks is a recent release that surprised me. It is filled with intense moments, fresh ideas and horrid imagery that almost made me look away. This film forces the audience to witness an unmerciful evil engulf a rural town, possessing the behaviors of even the most innocent souls. This was one of my favorite watches of the last year and I am always sure to recommend it to every horror lover.
Italy-
Suspiria is a timeless classic that never loses its charm. Its set design and usage of colorful lighting makes the entire film unforgettable. The kills are surprising and all deliver a punch. The score provides a disorientating factor that doesn’t deter from its stunning visuals, only adding to the beauty this film possesses.
Japan-
One Cut of the Dead is a recent watch for me, and I regret not watching it sooner. This was the most fun I’ve had watching a horror flick in a while. The eyebrow raising scenes during the start of the film are hilariously justified in a way that heightens my appreciation of the filmmaking process along with the filmmakers. Despite its horror factors only being in the first 30 minutes, the stress and tension afterwards keeps the anxiety high while simultaneously delivering the most comedic and heartfelt moments.
France -
Raw is a visually intense rollercoaster of events that follow a girl and her journey through veterinary college. Justine, the protagonist, is faced with some disgusting challenges that will make you squirm. It's a shocking body horror that isn’t for the faint of heart.
Wow, little surprised to find in some of the blogs the recommendations about horror films, especially films from different countries. The Raw sounds especially curious, so ones I get some more free time, I definitely should watch some of them, thanks for the recommendations!
