The whole thing is also punctuated with incredible black-and-white photography, which really helps the film’s surreal visuals pop. The film explores some creative ideas like how the afterlife is split up into different sections for people who die in different ways (such as suicide). The film presents a wildly original depiction of the afterlife while two lost souls, a young girl and an elderly man, wax on about the nature of life (and death) and what all of this is about. The Forest of Lost Souls feels like a team-up between Fellini and Tarantino and that alone should be enough to get you on board with this film. It’s a suspenseful treat that contains powerful performances and some striking black-and-white cinematography to boot.

Veronica is full of surprises and nothing can be taken for face value here. It’s fascinating to see how these two people lose track of who they are in each other. As the two live together, the sense of who is in control is constantly in flux. The film tells the story of a psychologist who comes out of retirement to study a special case, Veronica. If you’re a fan of Roman Polanski’s Repulsion (and honestly, you should be), then you’ll dig the hell out of Veronica. I’m also a huge fan of cat and mouse psychological thrillers and this film plays into those impulses in such a delicious way. I’m a sucker for boiled down, single location narratives, horror or otherwise, and Veronica is a strong example of that sort of story. Housewife is a fearless film for a number of reasons and even if it’s something that you don’t understand, you absolutely deserve to let its bonkers face-wearing images assault you.ĭirected by Carlos Algara & Alejandro Martinez Beltran Mexico Then on top of all of that Evrenol throws some good old-fashioned Lovecraft mythos in for good measure, too. Evrenol’s lucid horror film embraces dream logic and nonlinear storytelling and anchors it all on Clémentine Poidatz’ alarmingly strong performance. The film touches on a number of topics like childhood abuse and repressed trauma, but its real focus is on the elevation of Holly into this deity-like figure of a cult. If you’re a fan of horror then you no doubt made a point of seeing the heavy-hitters from this year like Get Out and IT, but what about the smaller films? What about the films that had limited releases or really have to be hunted for to watch? It’s very easy to have a blind spot towards foreign horror and while this is by no means the definitive list, here’s a good start to some picks from 2017 that are absolutely worth your time.Įvrenol’s Housewife is an absurd fever dream of a film that simultaneously demands and refuses to be deciphered. *Keep up with our ongoing end of the year coverage here*Īs 2017 begins to wrap up, we take a look at the very best foreign horror films that the year has had to offer!Ģ017 was a phenomenal year of horror, but it’s sometimes hard to stay on top of all the new releases and “mandatory” classics.
