I’m quite fond of foreign language horror movies. Mostly, they haven’t succumbed to the slick move toward PG-13 irrelevance, which isn’t to say an R (or 18) rated movie is full of blood and guts and everything that’s superficial about the genre. No, I’m mostly talking about the fact that character-driven stories are the keys to good horror. I know, I know, many people are all about the serial murders of a youthful cast within 120 minutes. Whatever floats your boat, I won’t judge. Especially because my own character-driven snobbery doesn’t necessarily produce great movies either.
