Day 8: Favorite Foreign Horror
30 Day Horror Movie Challenge
Day 8: Vive la Difference
I'm willing to bet that J-horror will feature prominently among those doing this silly challenge. My pick for this category is Honogurai mizu no soko kara, better known as Dark Water
in the U.S. It's an eerie, beautifully filmed and moving ghost story
about a divorced Japanese woman and her daughter. It's as much about
ghosts as it is about the mother's lonely struggle to deal with her
familial situation. I have not seen the 2002 remake
with Jennifer Connelly, so I don't know how it stacks up.Runners up:
Did you think sophisticated continental Europe could never have a problem with psycho inbred hillbilly killers? Think again! Watch Calvaire
(Belgium), a whole heaping serving of jaw-dropping "what the fuck."
Also of note is the revoltingly sadistic High Tension
(Haute Tension, France) with an interesting (if sometimes overused in horror) twist.TIP:
