10 Terrifying Taiwanese Horror Movies You NEED To See

This film holds a solid place in Taiwanese cinema as it was produced by Colombia Pictures' Asia branch, meaning it's a loving combination of Hollywood/Taiwanese horror. It helped to further the country's film-making influence and stands very firmly as one of the most commercial cinematic ventures in Taiwan's film history.

Double Vision pairs a Taiwanese detective with an FBI agent as they hunt down a serial killer. However, this murderer is far from ordinary, as all of their killings have bizarre and unnatural causes of death. It soon becomes clear that something far more sinister and possibly spiritual is at play.

You'll undoubtedly feel the Hollywood vibes if you've seen things like Se7en or The X-Files, as the film takes a page out of the books of such classics. It's macabre and dripping with atmosphere as the killer's crimes and the detectives' lives begin to bleed into each other. Despite the comparisons, the movie still stands on its own two feet, thanks to the influence of Taiwanese/Chinese mythology.

Overall, Double Vision is sharp, gritty and has a compelling sense of mystery, proving that Taiwan has the potential to hang with Hollywood itself. The killer's motive also ties deeply into Taiwanese folk beliefs, making it a rich cultural horror.
