Any recommendations on foreign horror films? I have not watched any in several years.

There was a Swedish one called "Let the right one come in". I'm just translating from the Swedish title so don't know if that's the name in English.

The usual vampire stuff, but pretty well done. Not at all like the American style.

The remake ain't half bad either.

I recommend a Spanish horror movie, "REC." It's a pretty solid horror movie with found footage. Also Jet Li's Hero which is a pure action adventure set in medieval China. I watched a Japanese horror flick awhile back with some friends that I think is called, "Reincarnation" made by Toho. You can probably find it on DVD somewhere.

I had a headache after watching this.  I think it was with all the handheld footage.

Not fond of the rise of handheld/found footage films (AKA no budget outside of marketing/maximum profit films). How on earth did this become a whole genre after The Blair Witch Project? It wasn't exactly a classic.

There was apparently at least 12 of them scheduled for release in 2015 sad.

-edit-

18 were released last year.

Not a classic, but a hell of an investment!

It's the 2000s version of Friday the 13th. Cheap productions netting you millions at little cost.

The remake was incredible. The 21st century Natalie Portman got famous from this film.

Still haven't watched the original and hadn't even thought of it until Polluxlm mentioned it. Gonna download it and watch it this week.
