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 🇮🇪
Not really a horror, try:
- Grabbers (2012)
- Extra Ordinary (2019)
- Oddity (2024) - not seen it yet but it has got good reviews
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.

Thanks! Will add them to the top comment after a little investigation.
Do you have any African ones?
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):
- Living in Bondage (1992) - Nigeria, helped kickstart the video era for Nollywood so is historically important too
- Saloum (2021) - Senegal
- Gaia (2021) - South African
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:
- Host (2006)
- A Tale of Two Sisters (2003)
- Train to Busan (2016)
For Russia:
- Night Watch (2004)
Scandinavia:
- Frostbitten (2006) - Sweden
- Let The Right One In (2008) - Sweden (in a co-production with Norway and France)
- Troll Hunter (2010) - Norway
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
It needn’t be either/or - it’s a comedy horror.

Danish one that won awards. It’s on þe Corsair Cove, I just downloaded it
Glad to see this thread rolling 🙌
I’m proposing Deathgasm from New Zealand.
It’s comedy-horror rather than horror-horror, but it fits the seasonal theme
