Can anyone recommend any good non-english-speaking thrillers... please?  I'm sick of the same old hollywood formula.

Have you seen The Host?

You should watch "kilometer 31" its a thriller in spanish. Thought it was really good.

Yep.  Am all out of movies.

I'd look for indie movies but you need to plough through too much garbage to find anything decent. imo

You've probably seen it already but Oldboy

Also, another movie with the main protagonist in Oldboy, Min-sik Choi, I Saw The Devil.

Both amazing movie's.

Although not a foreign movie, but one of the best twist's in a movie i have seen for a long time, is The Tortured


Another film i watched recently with no expectations was the Australian flick,The Loved Ones and i was blown away.

Tried to watch Oldboy a couple of times but struggled to empathise with main characters. Had same problem with The Road.
I'll check out the others.. cheers!

(TV is sooooo bad at moment)

[Wordless Wanderer]

I ve watched both of them and yes it took a lot of effort to watch The Road.. I always used to give up but finally managed to watch it

Best thriller ever.
If you open minded for anime. Trust me on this. Sick, sick anime.
Its a tv series but what a hell.

I loved it. After seen few episodes I was hooked.

You gotta see some asian films. Some of the best films I have ever seen came out of Asia. Here's an awesome list:

Oldboy (as someone mentioned)
Lady Vengeance (which is part of the Vengeance trilogy. Oldboy belongs to it too.)
A Tale of Two Sisters
Time (this movie is nuts)
A Bittersweet Life
Cello
Koma (some blood)
Diary (also known as Mon Seung)
Re-Cycle
The Eye (Gin Gwai)
The Eye 2 (Gin Gwai-2 the original Eyes not American remakes)
Shutter (original)
Premonition
Suicide Club (cult classic in Japan. Has an interesting message at the end. Warning: bloody movie)
Noriko's Dinner table (sequel to suicide club. I found it really interesting.)
Tomie movies (based off of Mangas by horror master Junji Ito. Old cult classics)
Pulse (Kairo. Original)
Audition (bloody towards end)

Anywho, there is a small list to get you started   . Just so you know most of those are horror thrillers but I usually watch movie without blood and gore since I think it's unnecessary. Only the ones noted are bloody but are worth enduring for the story.

Happy watching!

Have you seen 'Time crimes'

[danbell06]

Shutter has one of the scariest endings to a film I've ever seen. So uncomfortable after seeing that.
