Ichi The Killer i watch it for the 1st time today great movie

The Eye too.

Reading this thread just dropped my IQ by 12 points.

Some of the Scariest Foreign Movies imo:

The original Haunting

Ju-on

The Changling

The woman in Black

That seen in the Ring is the scariest single scene in foreign cinema and perhaps all cinema. Although, the first time you see the movie in the Grudge is right up there.

I just bought those movies off Ebay. I have not had a chance to watch them yet though.

As for scary foreign films, I assume you are meaning non American films as for me all American films are foreign. I would have to say Phone, the original The Ring movies and also give a honorable mention to the Cold Pray films form Norway, they are excellent slashers and will make you jump, there are three of them now.

I'm going under the assumption that these are non-American films as well. Where to start?

The Wicker Man
Profondo Rosso
Suspiria
Picnic At Hanging Rock
Who Can Kill A Child?
Tenebre
The Vanishing
Vault Of Horror
Audition
Battle Royale
Ringu
28 Days Later
Dark Water
The Devil's Backbone
Ju-On: The Grudge
The Eye
The Orphanage
Wolf Creek
The Descent
Let The Right One In
Eden Lake

I'm going old skool on this one (I'm also including UK movies) -

Nosferatu
The Cabinet of Dr Caligari
Vampyr
Les Yeux sans Visage
Mask of the Demon
Valerie and Her Week of Wonders
Hour of the Wolf
Viy
The Innocents
The Omen series

I just have to add 1920 a Indian ghost movie and the German The Lift to my list. I also second Nosferatu, that is a great movie and while it is very basic by modern standards it manages to be extremely creepy. I also think the Spanish version of the 1931 Dracula film should be mentioned, while it is made on the same set as the American film it is a all Spanish production and it is great.

Good call. Thought its popular with a lot of older buffs - it is an overlooked film.
