top ten non-Asian modern foreign horror
Haven't seen nor could find a non-Asian top ten list of modern foreign horror, and since i am on the hunt for some good foreign horror, might as well create my list of my own. In no particular order, they are:
Brotherhood of the Wolf(2001) The Devil's Backbone (2001) Frontiers (2007) Irreversible (2002) [not really horror but it still qualified] Let the Right One In (2008) [probably the best of the lot] Man Bites Dog (1992) Shaun of the Dead (2004) [not sure if this qualifies as a foreign flick???] Them/Ils (2007) Wolf Creek (2005) [Again, barely a foreign film] [REC] (2007) [probably the scariest of the lot] As this list is decent at best, let see some more so that i may update this rather woeful list. Thanks. derek

If we're including Aussie films (as you did) I'd have to put Out of the Blue (came out last year) on the list. Really recommend that.
I'd include every film I've seen from your list- Let the Right One In, Frontier(s) (which has an amazing song at the end- I tracked the artist down on Myspace and found where to buy it. It's in the Halloween playlist, of course), The Devil's Backbone, Wolf Creek... I know I've seen some others, but it's too late to think right now. Oh, Haute Tension as well.

If Shaun's in, then 28 Days Later stakes a claim too. The Orphanage is another which I ll strongly recommend. I d say Pan's Labyrinth too but the general opinion around these parts is that its more a fantasy tale than horror.
Then there's Nightwatch (Nochnoy dozor), Funny Games and Inside.

It really creates true suspense by showing how real people are affected by terrible circumstances. It's "based on a true story" - but not in that phony Hollywood way. I was really impressed.

Yah, it comes off as totally real- and that's what makes it so terrifying.
And my apologies- it's a New Zealand film, not Aussie.

All good man most people think a lot NZ films are Aussie ones :)
Bad Blood is worth checking out too if you haven't seen it. It's based on another NZ mass murder and is one of my favorite flicks to come out of this country.

I don't know if I have a top ten but there lots of good recs here. I'll try and add a few that aren't on anybody's list, like Otesánek (Little Otik). It's a bizzare little film but I really had fun with it. If you included a 92' film, 88' shouldn't be far off but I'm sure you've seen Spoorloos already right? Evil (2007) was an alright Greek zombie flick, the gore is good and the ending is great. Also check out Delicatessen, Accion Mutante, and Fear(s) of the Dark (animated).
