7. Carl Dreyer's VAMPYR (1932)

Made by a Dane-filmed in France.

A surreal nightmare on film. If you havn't seen it-give it a look-a classic,IMHO.

8)  [REC] - one of the best horror movies I've seen in quite a while.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQUkX_XowqI

The subtitles on the DVD are a little better than what's shown in that trailer, there are no "sanity agents" lol.

9. THE LIVING DEAD AT MANCHESTER MORGUE
This movie kick started my interest in foreign horror.
I like the atmosphere, the locations, and the slower pacing.

Some interesting pics so far, a lot of stuff I have yet to see which is cool as it gives me some names for which to keep one's eyes peeled. I've seen Matango, Nosferatu and Vampyr which all became favourites and all three quite striking visually each in its own way.

10. Ringu (1998)

I don't care about all the criticism out there, this movie is creepy as Hell IMO.

Damn, sometimes I think "sanity agents" are a good thing.

Nice ghost story set with the horrors of life. 
Ah, the good old days.

9. BLACK SUNDAY (1960) the Itailian film that brought international fame to director Mario Bava and actress Barbra Steele. And established Italy as a major player in horror film production.
