- DirectorGeorges FranjuEstrellasPierre BrasseurAlida ValliJuliette MaynielUn cirujano causa un accidente que desfigura a su hija, y toma medidas extremas para darle una nueva cara.My friend Shams believes this should be at the top of the list- indeed it is a terrifying horror classic.
- DirectorÁlex de la IglesiaEstrellasÁlex AnguloArmando De RazzaSantiago SeguraUn cura católico se une a un aficionado al Black Metal y a un italiano experto en oscurantismo para evitar el nacimiento de la bestia y, con ella, el fin del mundo.Hilarious premise, great gore and two immensely appealing lead characters.
- DirectoresAdrian Garcia BoglianoRamiro García BoglianoEstrellasMaría Nela SinisterraVictoria WitemburgDiego CremonesiA woman hesitantly rents an apartment to an eerie man who she soon realizes has a part in the solar eclipse that is taking place.A subtle film featuring a strong female lead. She gives a nuanced performance that's worth the price of admission alone. This take on the Satanic ceremony genre leavens the narrative with plenty of wit and humor.
- DirectoresAharon KeshalesNavot PapushadoEstrellasLior AshkenaziRotem KeinanTzahi GradUna niña es brutalmente asesinada y el principal sospechoso evita su arresto por falta de pruebas. Trabajando por separado, el padre y un policía deciden tomar la justicia en sus manos.They really are. Very engaging screenplay and strong performances all round
- DirectorÉric TessierEstrellasMarc-André GrondinNormand D'AmourSonia VachonA young man is held hostage by a psychopath who will only let him go if he beats him in a game of chess.A Canadian made standout. One of the best kidnapping horror movies ever made, with an intriguing and horrifying chess back story.
- DirectorHans-Christian SchmidEstrellasSandra HüllerBurghart KlaußnerImogen KoggeA young woman with epilepsy suffers a breakdown during her first year at university, then decides to seek help from a priest in battling the troubles associated with her strict upbringing.Much the best retelling of the original "Possession of Mary Rose" back story, although I liked that film as well. The German version is close to perfect. Even handed, well acted, believable screenplay, perfect pacing. Full of pathos, mystery, and dread.
- DirectorLukas MoodyssonEstrellasOksana AkinshinaArtyom BogucharskiyPavel PonomaryovLilja, de dieciséis años, y su único amigo, el joven Volodja, viven en Rusia y fantasean con una vida mejor. Un día, Lilja se enamora de Andrej, que se va a Suecia e invita a Lilja a acompañarle y comenzar una nueva vida.Probably not meant as a horror genre film, but that doesn't make it any less horrifying. Superb realistic dialogue and character development drives this claustrophobic nightmare. This might be the best film, per se, on the list.
- DirectorHasan KaracadagEstrellasElçin AtamgüçNihan AypolatPervin BagdatA family's house in Turkey becomes possessed by evil spirits that want to kill humans.A victoryismineblast suggestion, and most excellent. Witchcraft, possession, ghosts, Satan, malevolence, rotting houses and engaging characters. The English subtitles are easily found online and they match perfectly. The acting is understated and a refreshing change of pace. I will also recommend a non-horror Turkish crime drama I saw recently- "Once Upon a Time in Anatolia." It is superb.
- DirectorLorenzo BianchiniEstrellasRenzo GariupMarco MarcheseLidia ZabrieszachThe story revolves around an ethologist working in the remote woods, trapping animals and mounting cameras on them so that he can monitor their behavior remotely. The resulting recordings lead him to a remote village, the site of an ancient curse, where he is trapped due to heavy rain fall raising the level of the river and flooding out the only access...This unusual Italian ghost yarn is not for the impatient, but if you allow yourself to drift into the increasingly isolated world of the roving field biologist, you are in for a shocking ride.
- DirectorAlex van WarmerdamEstrellasJan BijvoetHadewych MinisJeroen PercevalUn vagabundo entra en la vida de una familia arrogante de clase alta, convirtiendo sus vidas en una pesadilla psicológica en el proceso.Very funny, and very horrifying at the same time.
- DirectorAnders Rønnow KlarlundEstrellasOle LemmekeKirsti Eline TorhaugOle ErnstA man is found in an airport, dead of a mysterious disease. A race begins to save humanity from what could be a global plague.Well acted take on the apocalypse. Good verisimilitude. It seems to be a police procedural drama, but turns out to be a fair bit more than that.
- DirectorHans HerbotsEstrellasGeert Van RampelbergIna GeertsJohan van AsscheNick parece tenerlo todo, apariencia, inteligencia y una carrera exitosa. Pero una nube oscura se cierne sobre su vida cuando, desde los nueve años, ha sido perseguido por la desaparición sin resolver de su hermano menor, Bjorn.Cleverly plotted serial killer film that eventually reveals a surprising, and really believable, motive for the torture and murder. The clue is in the title, and this movie is clever enough so that's not really a SPOILER.
- DirectorMichael SteinerEstrellasRoxane MesquidaNicholas OfczarekAndrea ZoggTres pastores solitarios, hambrientos de compañía femenina, crean a la chica de sus sueños, a partir de una escoba, un poco de paja y unos trapos. La creación vive y respira para cocinar, limpiar y cuidar de los tres.This delirious ride into the shape shifting world of European mountain succubi is exhilarating. Folk lore for the horror set.
- DirectorJaume BalagueróEstrellasEmma VilarasauKarra ElejaldeTristán UlloaAños después de la muerte de su hija, una madre recibe una llamada telefónica de alguien que dice ser su hija pero un grupo secreto llamado The Nameless puede estar detrás de todo.Horrifying and engrossing tale of top secret Satanic cult. One of the very best in this fine genre.
- DirectorMartin MakarievEstrellasDavid ChokachiLora DekovaLydia IndjovaThe events surrounding the unsolved police case in which guests of a mountain hut come face to face with terror, when the mysterious force that stalks them in the dark, violently knocks on the door of their consciousness.This is a claustrophobic character study that benefits from interesting characters. They unravel a particularly intriguing mystery, with terrible consequences for all.
- DirectorHideo NakataEstrellasNanako MatsushimaMiki NakataniYûko TakeuchiUna reportera y su exmarido investigan un video que se rumorea que mata al espectador siete días después de verla.One of the tightest plots in any horror film. The narrative is close to perfect. Insist on this original Japanese version. The Korean and English remakes are good, but nowhere near this masterpiece.
- DirectorKiyoshi KurosawaEstrellasHaruhiko KatôKumiko AsôKoyukiDos grupos de personas descubren una evidencia que sugiere que los espíritus pueden estar intentando invadir el mundo humano a través de internet.This is "Kairo", the original Japanese film that "Pulse" (2006) was based on. If you're an ESL teacher in Asia, I recommend showing clips of "Kairo" to your kids. They love to squeal whilst watching good ghost scenes.
- DirectoresBanjong PisanthanakunParkpoom WongpoomEstrellasAnanda EveringhamNatthaweeranuch ThongmeeAchita SikamanaUn joven fotógrafo y su novia descubren misteriosas sombras en sus fotografías tras un trágico accidente.One of the most horrifying endings, ever. The last scene should stun you
- DirectoresAlexandre BustilloJulien MauryEstrellasAlysson ParadisJean-Baptiste TabourinClaude LuléUna mujer embarazada y viuda, pasa la noche de navidad a solas, completamente afligida por la pérdida del padre de su bebé, cuando una extraña se presenta en su casa a cambiar las cosas.For me, much the best of the fine French Extreme Horror Wave. The antagonist is a masterpiece of pure malevolence.
- DirectorCarlos Enrique TaboadaEstrellasAna Patricia RojoElsa María GutiérrezLeonor LlausásUna niña de 10 años convence a una compañera solitaria de que es una bruja, lo que obliga a la niña a convertirse en su asistente. Aunque sus juegos son inicialmente bastante ingenuos, gradualmente toman un giro desagradable y violento.An IMDB Horror Board re-recommendation from johanlouwet78. This unusual Mexican film is a real work of art- on the face of it, it's a charming and engaging account of childhood friendship. But it's simultaneously an oppressive, creeping slow burn to a shocking and truly horrific conclusion. First rate film.
- DirectorAna Lily AmirpourEstrellasSheila VandArash MarandiMarshall ManeshEn la ciudad fantasma iraní de Bad City, un lugar que apesta a muerte y soledad, la gente del pueblo no se da cuenta de que está siendo acosado por un vampiro solitario.This film is in love with classic tropes from film history and American/European pop culture. It references Jean Seberg and Belmondo, James Dean, and Spaghetti Westerns, just to add a few more to what has already been listed. The Morricone composition from the final gunfight in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is used to good effect. The soundtrack is as impressive as the film narrative, always a good sign.
- DirectorPål ØieEstrellasKristoffer JonerCecilie A. MosliBjarte HjelmelandPainful memories arise when Kai Koss goes back to his childhood home after 19 years and inherits his dead mother's house.Outstanding anxiety and craziness from the lead actor in this tense horror/thriller. Benefits greatly from a witty screenplay that acts as a counterpoint to the claustrophobic, oppressive visual narrative.
- DirectorPaul VerhoevenEstrellasJeroen KrabbéRenée SoutendijkThom HoffmanUn hombre que tiene visiones sobre un peligro inminente tiene una aventura con una mujer que puede llevarlo a la perdición.Evil woman vs. Catholic iconography, rendered in a comedic horror format. This is a highly original film from the infancy of Paul Verhoeven's illustrious career.
