I’ll start with this Spanish 2007 zombie horror: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rec_(film)
30 more to go for the month!
Cracking idea. I’ll sticky the thread and edit this comment to track the list.
- Rec. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rec_(film) , Spain 2007
- Deathgasm. Wikipedia, 2015, Aotearoa
Is English culture allowed?
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is a fun watch. Not a horrifying horror but it fits the theme of spooky season.
The Butcher Boy, 1997, Ireland, IMDB 🇮🇪
Not really a horror, try:
- Grabbers (2012)
- Extra Ordinary (2019)
- Oddity (2024) - not seen it yet but it has got good reviews
I recommend Braindead, Peter Jackson’s first film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braindead_(film)
Titane
2021 French body-shock horror, truly horrifying and weird
Only horror film to ever win the Palme d’Or
Saloum from Senegal, 2021.
Might seem like a crime flick for the first half, but I think it qualifies as a horror in the 2nd half.
Glad to see this thread rolling 🙌

Do you have any African ones?
I largely just ran through my top films and split off by country. Africa is trickier but of those I’ve seen:
- Dust Devil (1993) - South African co-production filmed in Namibia
- The Dead (2010) - British production but filmed in Ghana.
- Fried Barry (2020) - South African
Not seen but look worth a watch (not sure about availability though):
- Living in Bondage (1992) - Nigeria, helped kickstart the video era for Nollywood so is historically important too
- Saloum (2021) - Senegal
- Gaia (2021) - South African
You are amazing.
Saloum’s already on the list. I watch Good Madam this month but I’m not recommending it.
I have missed South Korea off despite them knocking it out of the park recently. Might as well go with the big ones:
- Host (2006)
- A Tale of Two Sisters (2003)
- Train to Busan (2016)
For Russia:
- Night Watch (2004)
Scandinavia:
- Frostbitten (2006) - Sweden
- Let The Right One In (2008) - Sweden (in a co-production with Norway and France)
- Troll Hunter (2010) - Norway
Is Troll Hunter a horror or a comedy?
One thing I’ve heard is that it’s a comedy to Norwegians but non-Norwegians don’t get the jokes and it looks like a horror

Danish one that won awards. It’s on þe Corsair Cove, I just downloaded it
I’m proposing Deathgasm from New Zealand.
It’s comedy-horror rather than horror-horror, but it fits the seasonal theme
