Which country make the best horror?

I myself would have to say Spain. I think the movie's they make are all very well made movies and movies I'm proud to own in my collection.

The Spanish films I own are;

The Devil's Backbone
Who Can Kill a Child?
King of the Hill
Pan's Labyrinth
The Orphanage
Fermat's Room
Rec

I would put Cronos in there but its actually a Mexican film. And Paintball looks awesome.

Other European countries that make good horror films are obviously France, Norway, Sweeden, England, Ireland, and Germany.

Hell even Iceland are making a slasher film!!!

For England a while back i would've gone for Neil Marshall for the directors but after what he put out with that Doomsday movie..........

Lets hope he can redeem himself with the new Predator movie.

I think Japan is up there I.M.O. They've made some great contributions to the genre.

At the moment Spain, and France are at the top when it comes to the field of Horror with the amount of excellent and memorable films coming out but I'm never really bothered about who makes the best, every year each country comes out with fantastic films, and they release complete rubbish too. Same for outside of the Horror genres.

Sweden came out with the wonderful Let The Right One In, so most countries are contributing high quality films.

After The Descent it was a bit downhill, but I thought it was pretty fun, so bla to you. stick out tongue

Hopefully he will get back to better quality with Centurion, and even Predator; if he gets the job of directing.

the US have no imagination when it comes to movies[especially horror movies]
we ran out of ideas in the mid to late 80's and have been reduced to remaking either old movies or foreign movies

You might want to look outside of the mainstream when it comes to America. Still amazing films coming out of America, mostly outside of Horror though. Have you not seen Session 9? May?

Well from any country it's hard to find a film that's scary, especially if you are a regular Horror film person and are use to it.

You should go and watch Session 9, and May; they are certainly not crap.

What are some of these decent horror films you like out of America?

Gotta say I am rather syked for the predator remake, mostly cause we get a group of predators.

TCM: The Beginning is absolutely fantastic and is an immense influence on future Horror by the way!

.....

The only influence it will have on future horror is that they will try to make a movie that is never ever as worse as that

Below[WWII horror/drama/action]
the first 2 Saw's[after that its just sad]
Freddy vs. Jason[only cause its Freddy Kreuger kickin the shit outta Jaon Vorhees]
the Hanibal series

the first movie to make me scream out loud was Dark Floors when the first monster came out
