Amazing works or horror art from other countries go under-appreciated. This Halloween, make your movie night international with these Reddit picks!

With Halloween around the corner, horror fans may have already exhausted their usual list of scary movies to watch for the month. But, the incredible success of films like Parasite and series like Squid Game remind audiences that there are some amazing pieces of media from all around the world at their fingertips through different streaming services like Netflix, Amazon, or even the horror-centric Shudder.

A good movie recommendation can make all the difference. Luckily for those interested, Redditors have compiled several master lists and started a thorough conversation about which foreign horror films are the best out there.

10 The Orphanage (2007)

This Spanish film debut from director J.A. Bayona follows the story of Laura, who brings her husband, Carlos, and their adopted son, Simón, to her childhood orphanage with the hopes of turning it into a home for children with special needs. Simón disappears after a fight with Laura and her search for him reveals dark secrets about the orphanage's past.

User wickedlikethreesixes on Reddit testifies that "it's one of the only films I've been genuinely unnerved by." Many other Redditors commented on how moving The Orphanage is as a film, and those that didn't comment about being unsettled instead noted that they were moved to tears because of the story.

9 I Saw The Devil (2010)

Jee-woon Kim directed this Korean thriller about a National Intelligence Service agent who plots revenge after his pregnant fiancée is murdered by a serial killer named Jang Kyung-chul. This film is definitely on the gorier side of horror for those with a weak stomach, and viewers should be aware that sexual assault is present in the film if that is triggering or especially upsetting.

That being said, the movie was recommended by multiple accounts on Reddit, with user diesel even saying "it's one of the best movies I've ever seen. It's very brutal/beautiful." Users in the comments agree, saying it's a must-see for Korean gore horror and the work of Choi Min-sik, who plays the serial killer, is utterly amazing.

8 Tumbbad (2018)

Tumbbad is a period horror movie by Indian director Rahi Anil Barve. Set in 1947 and 1918, Tumbbad is built around the tale of the Goddess of Prosperity and the being Hastar, who sleeps in Tumbadd after being saved from the other gods and can never be worshipped. Vinayak, who grew up in Tumbbad, desperately wants to escape poverty by taking Hastar's treasure.

What could be a simple story of morality and greed is turned into a beautiful cinematic masterpiece. Avi271 on Reddit notes, "Another great thing is that it doesn't fit any sub-genre that you see in Hollywood." Several other Redditors commented that they had been told about the film by the Shock Waves podcast, which covered Tumbbad on an episode.

7 Goodnight Mommy (2014)

After the mother of twin boys gets face-changing plastic surgery in this Austrian psychological horror directed by Severin Fiala and Veronika Frans, they begin to notice her odd and unfamiliar behavior. Goodnight Mommy has an unparalleled atmosphere and is one of the most visually stunning horror films of the 21st century.

Reddit users like EternalRocksBeneath thoroughly enjoyed the film, saying "I really, really, liked it. I liked the fact that it went against my expectations. I found myself thinking about it for a few days afterward." That thought and theory-provoking aspect is part of what makes for great discussion between people who have seen it, and there's even a *spoiler-heavy* theory discussion board on Reddit for Goodnight Mommy.

6 The Devil's Backbone (2001)

One of the best horror movies by Guillermo del Toro, The Devil's Backbone is about a 12-year-old boy named Carlos, who moves into an all-boys orphanage and school after his father is killed in the Spanish Civil War. Shortly after starting at the school, it becomes clear that there are dark and paranormal secrets within its walls.

SpokenWorder highly recommends the film on Reddit to any fans of del Toro's work "if you want to see how Del Toro first dabbled into horror/thriller, how his central characters of children first took root." Guillermo del Toro weaves a masterful tale of horror rooted in history as Carlos has to grapple with not only the supernatural terror in front of him, but also the civil unrest that his nation is experiencing at the time.

5 Audition (1999)

Takashi Miike directs this Japanese film that's one of the best obscure horror movies of the '90s. A widower, Shigeharu Aoyama, agrees to a special audition process set up by his friend to find him a new wife. After meeting Asami Yamazaki, Shigeharu becomes enamored with her, but Asami's identity and behavior are shrouded in mystery and are much darker than Shigeharu knows.

User Wild_Bob on Reddit posted a thorough reaction and analysis of the film (with spoilers) and commented about the beautiful cinematography of the first half, saying "I found myself enjoying the film as a drama, almost forgetting what genre the film is." That is until the second half, where things take a more gruesome turn but still manage to stay meaningful and symbolic, making comments about the cycle of abuse and violence in the home.

4 A Tale Of Two Sisters (2003)

Another piece of film from South Korean director Jee-woon Kim, this movie mixes supernatural and real-world horror. Two sisters return home from a stay in a mental institution. In addition to their father, they also live there with his wife, their obsessive and cruel stepmother. To make things worse, a haunting begins to affect the house and makes emotional recovery difficult for the sisters.

On Reddit, rhoades2rocky43 shares, "I remembered A Tale Of Two Sisters was one of the films that Jordan Peele wanted his cast to watch before filming  Us, so we definitely wanted to check it out." They go on to say that the film does a lot with very little dialogue, and isn't in your face like other horror movies. For those who like slow-burn movies that make you feel more than the typical slasher flicks, this is a solid addition to the watchlist.

3 Martyrs (2008)

Pascal Laugier directs this French horror film about Lucie and Anna, who go on a murderous crusade to find and punish the people who kidnapped and tortured Lucie when she was younger. Their hunt reveals a circuit of torture by a secret society determined to discover secrets about the afterlife by creating "martyrs."

Reddit user TrappedInLimbo details their experience with the film, noting, "it almost feels like you, the viewer, are being put through some kind of torture" and that the twists and turns of the plot keep audiences guessing the entire time. Critical_Bill calls Martyrs "the final exam you give to horror movie fans." It's so impactful and disturbing, viewers may only watch the horror movie once.

2 Train To Busan (2016)

Filling the need for any zombie movie lovers is Train To Busan, a Korean movie directed by Yeon Sang-ho. Seok-woo and his estranged daughter, Su-an, are taking a train ride when a zombie apocalypse begins and the passengers on the train must fight for their lives if they want to make it to Busan alive.

User KlausFenrir on Reddit states that Train To Busan is "the best version of a World War Z story we'll ever get in film." With 1.3 thousand comments on his original post, many seem to agree. SeeYouNerfHerder says, "My greatest takeaway from Netflix has been an introduction to Korean movies." While Train To Busan isn't available on US Netflix anymore, it is free on Peacock, as well as with an Amazon Prime membership and there are many other Korean horror movies people who loved Train To Busan can watch.

1 Let The Right One In (2008)

Moving into Swedish territory, Tomas Alfredson directed this 2008 romantic horror film. Oskar is a young boy who lives with his mother in Sweden and is regularly bullied at school. When Eli moves in next door, they become close friends and Eli eventually reveals their disturbing connection to a string of grisly murders in the area.

This is a well-loved take on the classic vampire film. Estoye on Reddit calls it "well-paced, engaging, damn frightening stuff" and user Slofut adds, "I particularly liked seeing the consequences of a vampire entering a home without being invited in. I have never seen it addressed before watching this movie." For those who see it and love it, there is currently a TV show in development based on Let The Right One In.
