15 Foreign Language Horror Movie Gems Hidden On Netflix

1. (2007)

Given the sequel treatment three times (to varying degrees of success) and remade in the U.S. as the lacklustre Quarantine, this excellent Spanish-language original follows a news anchor who goes with her crew to watch a local firefighting team at work in the early hours of the morning. When they€™re all called to what appears to be a fairly routine job at an apartment building, the group soon discover that a deadly virus has broken out there, causing those infected to turn into crazed zombie-like creatures. It€™s shot with a kind of nerve-racking intensity throughout, ratcheting up the immediacy and horrifying believability of the frantic situation. It€™s a nightmarish vision of what might happen should such an outbreak happen, inflicting upon us one terrifying set-piece after another, all of which leads up to one of the most effective horror finales in recent memory. If you're sick to death of found-footage horrors then this will reignite your faith that something interesting and most importantly downright scary can be done with the style.
