Five Foreign Horror Films for Halloween

Rather than do a regular single movie this week, I'm going to re-highlight 5 horror films that have previously been recommended here. Of course, none of these are Hollywood films. The title links for each movie, go to the full writeup I did for it previously. Those also contain links of places to get the movie.

Night Watch
This Russian Film from 2004 is a dark modern fantasy, think Underworld. It's the first film in a trilogy. The second one, Day Watch, is also on DVD in R1. The third film has not yet been filmed.


Gwoemul
Also called The Host, this is a Korean monster film from 2006. This had one of the best looking monster's I've seen on film.


Let the Right One In
This one is from Sweden, and is a downright disturbing film. It may be a love story between a vampire and a human, but it is not like a few things to come out of Hollywood recently. It has also won a lot of awards while it was on the festival circuit.


Dante 01
This is a French film by the same Director as The City of Lost Children. It came out in 2008. It's a space thriller, and has had pretty mixed reviews.


¿Quién puede matar a un niño?
This 1976 Spanish film translates to Who Can Kill a Child? An English couple visit an island and find that there are only crazed children on it.
