21st Century Horror: South Asia (tapekebab's Top 10)
Disclaimer: This is just my personal Top 10, not necessarily the best films from this region. I also include horror and horror-related titles, so if you see any movies on the list that you don’t think are technically horror movies, let’s not argue about it.
If you have any recommendations for movies from this region, please let me know in the comments!
For this list, I considered films from India, Nepal, and Pakistan.
There are also some horror films from Bangladesh, Maldives, and Sri Lanka that I need to check out but am having a heck of a time finding.
Watching some of these movies has helped me learn a bit about how India's various regional cultures and languages play on the screen - I didn't even realize until recently that not all Indian movies are Bollywood, for instance. Among the Indian films on this list, "Tumbbad," "Pari," "Talaash," and "Ragini MMS" are Bollywood (Hindi language), "Pisasu" and "Pizza" are Kollywood (Tamil language), and "Ludo" is Tollywood (Bengali language). There's also "Islamic Exorcist," which was released with English dubbing, but I believe was a Bollywood production.
