Asian Action wise..
definitely the 2 Ip Mans, 13 Assassins, and Raid Redemption is absolutely ridiculous.

Really most of the foreign films that I can remember are Horror...so here goes that...
Them - French flick...cool twist with really good suspense.
Frontiers - Another French one...this is kinda like a Texas Chainsaw sorta thing...incredibly violent.
High Tension - Something you've likely heard about...it's very good.
Let The Right One In - The Swedish version of Let Me In...way better than the remake.
Dead Snow - Norwegian "Nazi Zombie" joint...a little silly at times but it's definitely a fun watch.
Dogtooth - This one isn't horror but it's very bizarre...the direction and the way it's shot is amazing.
All of these are great and I highly recommend them, but if there's one recent foreign film that I would classify as "must-see" it's this one.
Most of the trailers make it seem hokey, but it's tone is a little more serious when you're actually watching it.
It's easily one of my favorite movies from the last 5 years. Period.

A few weeks ago, I was looking for some good horror movies, and saw that The Troll Hunter was one of the ones on a lot of people's top 10 list. Is it really that good?
edit\\ I ignored it because it's not the type of horror movie I was looking for. I am more interested in supernatural movies.

If you're into action/martial art films check out The Raid: Redemption. I think its Korean (might be wrong), but you really don't need subtitles to know what's going on. Perfect chill group movie!

"The Fall" had some of the most amazing imagery i've ever seen.
It's going to be a pain to try and find some of these movies.

Huh? Not mad. Just pointing out other threads with a ton of good recommendations. Rather do that than type five titles. I never said anything about a bump.
Yeah it's great...the acting is done well and the story is really cool.
It's without a doubt one of the best "found footage" films.
I'd say give it a shot even if it doesn't seem like the type of movie that you would typically enjoy. There are some really creepy parts.
That was a GREAT movie! Mind blowing even...
