Dream Home (China)
Chinese slasher about a woman who goes on a murder spree through an apartment complex in Hong Kong. Has some of the best kill scenes in Asian cinema. This one's definitely not for the squeamish however, with some extremely graphic scenes and one including a pregnant woman.
Macabre (Indonesia)
Macabre is basically the Indonesian mash-up of Frontiers and Inside. It's not entirely original, but it's very well made and it's always nice seeing something other than ghost movies come out of SE Asia.
Livide (France)
From the directors of Inside (do yourself a favor and go watch that in case you haven't), Livide is a French supernatural horror that follows a young in-house caregiver and her two friends as they try to rob an elderly patient whom supposedly has treasures hidden away in her mansion. It's not nearly as brutally gory as Inside, but Livide is creepy and entertaining enough to satisfy any horror fan.
Countdown (Thailand)
Three Thai college students are looking to get high on New Year's Eve. When the dealer, Jesus, shows up at the door and wants to party with them, things get out of hand when he refuses to leave and seems to know things about their past. David Asavanond deserves all the credit as he's amazing as Jesus, flipping from trustworthy to insane at any moment.
Naroi (Japan)
In this Japanese found footage film, a documentary filmmaker explores paranormal incidents connected by the legend of the ancient demon kagutaba. I'm not the biggest fan of J-horror, and Noroi does get a little slow throughout its middle parts, but it stays incredibly creepy the entire time and is the most successful Japanese found footage film.
The Road (Philippines)
Unrelated to the American apocalyptic tale, this Filipino film follows A 12 year old cold case that is reopened when three teens go missing on an abandoned road. The story is broken up and told over the course of 3 decades. Among the best, if not the best, horror movie to come out of the Philippines.
Right at Your Door (U.S.A)
Chemical bombs go off in Los Angeles and Brad quarantines himself inside his house while worrying about his wife working downtown. She later arrives, covered in ash, and Brad shuts her out, not wanting to risk his own life. Most of the story is these two dealing with the aftermath of the bombs and Brad's decision, but it holds up over the 90 minute runtime.

Dream Home is so awesome!
Wastyvez
Not enough Japanese movies. The Japanese really know how to do horror.
MexicaninQatar
I would add Thirst and The host (South Korea), The Devil's backbone (Spain)
Rwyka
Macabre (Darah) is such a lovely film, got to love her monotone voice
Haxedyourcat
Are any of these in Engrish?

Pontypool -> Canada
Linnywtf
Why do people watch movies like this? Seriously wondering. The last one sounds interesting but why watch gore films
SoTxBob
You can also ask why are there so many ppl that believe there will really be a zombie apocalypse.

Sauna from Finland http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1124394
OpportunismIsGod
That was a strange one.

Just scrolled straight to comments to see if someone posted this already. I love it. "Siellä ne haavat paranee, missä ne on tulleetkin."
TheLochNessOtter
It's in my part two, of this post!
lupusc
Sauna is awesome. As a Finn I generally despise Finnish movies, but this... ****/*****
TotallynotFlint
I thought you were starring out curse words for a second. Like ****/***** meant Fuck/Bitch or something. Not my brightest moment.
ClnlTushFinger
Snowed in so yessss

chefschocolatesaltyballs
[Rec] from Spain should be there
ImJustATeenageDirtbag
thought it wasnt that good, pretty dull imo
ZeeCatnip
Manu is the man in that first movie. Every problem gets a sledgehammer
robertstrong
But only the first one, the second one is watchable too but that's it
dasapm
the first one is the best of the series. the last one, 3 or 4?, really sucked.
farfie
Nope, nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope. That film fucked with me too much. Top nope.
dasapm
the old woman at the beginning yo...
FlatPlutoSociety
[Rec] is great, but it's really well-known outside of Spain. OP seems be going for films that haven't gotten much international love.
TheLochNessOtter
Winner, winner!
Silver
I just watched Dream Home. Excellent start to the list so far. Kudos to you, OP.
ripshadowfox
The Last Days (Spain) was also a good one, in my opinion. And it's on Netflix!
ripshadowfox
Not quite horror, I know.
klayb
It was so cool tho I loved it for what it was, and love how they can do horror and syfy unlike here in Mexico where it's justbbullshit 24/7
spitfire
Inside is creepy!
Jnyln
I've been searching for a thai horror movie that some dude starts killing a couple on a hospital and the weirdest shit was the clock 1/2
Jnyln
2/2had 13 hours instead of 12, if someone know the name please let me know, thanks.
TheLochNessOtter
I'll research it and watch it. If it's any good I'll add it in part 3!
Jnyln
Thanks!

Korea makes some awesome f-ed up horror films. Surprised they're not represented on this list.
Nadyanilo
Ugh, I LOVE Korean Horror.
TheLochNessOtter
What are your Korean horror recommendations?
exe122
Tale of Two Sisters, I Saw the Devil, Bloody Reunion. The Ring was ok but I liked the US remake more, unlike Oldboy (also Korean).
exe122
I'm not Korean btw. I watched one Korean film and Netflix just assumed I am and started recommending more and more.
exe122
Though if you want a non-horror, feel-goody type of film, Castaway on the Moon was pretty damn good.
TheLochNessOtter
I watched Tale of two sisters and it's on my new post of movies
MariamKrienke77
Hehe. Chine
UnwantedPotato
A Siberian film, a loving story about the protection of family, amazing to watch with the whole family.
AgamemnonsMemes
Its basically like Taken, huh?
FallenJester
Honestly don't know what all the hooplah is about that movie.
Gorestain
do you mean A Serbian Film?
UnwantedPotato
Listen hear you twinkle twinkle little shit...

Babadook bitches
iwanttobestarlord
Sorry dude, I feel for you.
pandasaurusex
I noped out of the film during the scene when it was night time and something went "dook dook dook".
TheLochNessOtter
Finish it! The movie is awesome. And then google the meaning of the babadook
mycatToastwasafatasshole
I hated it. The mom and the son were both so fucking annoying. And the end didn't make sense.
TheLochNessOtter
Google what the babadook represented to the mother. Made the movie better for me
SanchoLibre
is it any good?
mustbegilly
It's awesome
iwanttobestarlord
No
TheRealDurdan
Mixed reviews apparently
iamthemeowssiah
my opinion it started off really good but then lost steam as it went on. Not the greatest movie but not bad.Didnt live up to the hype for me
elppapple
I have never wanted a main character to die as badly as when I watched that movie
iamthemeowssiah
The babadook wasn't in my nightmares... that kid was. Omg.
Santizel
let say that dream home is a hong kong movie
TheLochNessOtter
Does the rest of China not want to affiliate with the movie? Or is it too specifically a Hong Kong style?
pleasenoticemesenpai
To make it simple: Hong Kong is not China, a lot like Taiwan (though not exactly the same). They are SAR (Special Administrative Regions)
scrotumflee
And Hong Kong movies are actually a thing. Jackie Chan movies arent chinese, they're Hong Kong movies
Metempiric
Hong Kong has the third largest film industry in the world behind Hollywood and Bollywood.
JawaLol
Hong Kong doesn't want to affiliate with the rest of Chine
IncredibleEdibleEgg
Hehe. Chine
ImgurMontoya
That's what the French call China
ButIDidntDieThoughItWasAJoke
If China and Chile merged as one

HK citizen here. To clarify with minimal bias: Hong Kong is Chinese sovereign territory. However, our governments are largely separate. 1/2
24xsmdn
Day-to-day affairs are all managed by the local administration, while the Chinese government can exert special authority in some cases- 2/2
24xsmdn
in accordance with the Basic Law, which is like a constitution. In terms of film/movie production, Hong Kong has its own unique style. 3/2
Metempiric
Like when Hong Kong tried passing a law banning Beijing having a veto on its laws... Shame Hong Kong will not remain separate forever.
24xsmdn
To be fair, such a law would've violated the Basic Law; Beijing is legally permitted authority over some very specific issues. 1/2
theothercollin
"The Orphanage" would do well on that list too.
TheLochNessOtter
It's on my part two of this post!
Ivegotmywings
That was such a tragic and terrifying movie! I cried for an hour at the end.
elucidatefurther
one of the best "horror" films I've ever seen.
TheRealDurdan
So it's not horror?
elucidatefurther
It's a very scary movie. It just defies genre convention to the point that I hesitate to label it as such.
thestomp
Watch Martyrs, s'good.
TheLochNessOtter
Yes! It's actually on my part two of this post
CasuallyDressed
You watch the American remake yet?
thestomp
There's an American Remake? *furiously googles*
CasuallyDressed
Yeah, went online a couple days ago. Not nearly as brutal as the French one, and a different ending.
thestomp
Just watched the trailer ~ French version looks better
CasuallyDressed
Oh absolutely, no contest really.
