Favorite foreign horror films?

[RapscallionJones]

If you're still reading this, Eddie, I thought the psychological thriller 13 TZAMETI had a VANISHING sort of vibe to it.  It involves a desperate Eastern European immigrant in France, and the less revealed about the plot, the better---but it takes the same sort of time to set up its plot and has that same sort of queasy, amoral payoff.     

I could not possibly agree more.  It tends to take its time getting around to the point, but by the time its firing on all cylinders, the tension becomes almost unbearable.

If you haven't seen it, PAN'S LABYRINTH is the best foreign film I have seen in years.

Beeeehhh....I had a bad experience with that movie.

You are referring to the 1972 Solaris/Солярис, other good Russian films are Night Watch, Day Watch (not as good as Night Watch), Stalker (1979), The Color of Pomegranates (1969), Come and See (1985) and few others ... ok actually a lot of others.
