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 ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช

Not really a horror, try:

I found The Butcher Boy really unsettling

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.

I'm proposing Deathgasm from New Zealand.

It's comedy-horror rather than horror-horror, but it fits the seasonal theme

Thanks! Will add them to the top comment after a little investigation.

Do you have any African ones?

Emperor@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 1y (4 replies)

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):

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:

For Russia:

Scandinavia:

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

Emperor@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 1y

It needn't be either/or - it's a comedy horror.
