I’ll start with this Spanish 2007 zombie horror: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rec_(film) 30 more to go for the month!
minus-squareᴇᴍᴘᴇʀᴏʀ 帝@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 months agoI 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
minus-squarefrightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.mlMlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 months agoYou are amazing. Saloum’s already on the list. I watch Good Madam this month but I’m not recommending it.
minus-squareᴇᴍᴘᴇʀᴏʀ 帝@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 months agoI 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
minus-squarefrightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.mlMlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·8 months agoIs 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
minus-squareᴇᴍᴘᴇʀᴏʀ 帝@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 months agoIt needn’t be either/or - it’s a comedy horror.
