International horror films are an essential canon for genre fans to explore. Made outside the US film industry, many of these films explore themes unique to their cultures and some can even push boundaries beyond what is considered palatable to American audiences.
Aisha Dee is fantastic in her role as Cecilia, perfectly nailing the film's comedic and dramatic beats and portraying her character's fragile mental state excellently. The film contains a sharply satirical screenplay that focuses on themes of female friendship and the phoniness of social media, and also features gruesome and impactful special effects that create shocking moments of violence once the film devolves into horror and chaos.
Let the Right One In is a unique blend of horror, romance, and coming-of-age that results in a powerful, eerie, and unforgettable picture. Subverting conventions of the vampire genre while still embracing some of its most recognizable features, Let the Right One In is refreshing and insightful, a riveting, disturbing look at a pivotal time in human development that offers enough chills and thrills to excel within its genre.
The film explores themes of isolation and mental illness, using anxiety-inducing filmmaking to place the audience in Alicia's head - especially in one particularly nauseating sequence involving cliff diving. Framing its story from the point of view of an outsider, Magic Magic explores themes of Chilean culture, portraying Alicia's culture shock as well as the contrast between Agustín and Bárbara's modernity and the ancient folk religions of rural communities.
The film strikes a perfect balance between its gory horror and its musical numbers, creating a strikingly unique tone. Mermaid body horror is an underutilized subject in horror cinema, with The Lure and Lisa Brühlmann's Swiss coming-of-age body horror film Blue My Mind being two notable exceptions. Disturbing and oddly fun, The Lure is a compelling and underrated international horror film.
