Here is a very big challange for everyone. Can we name as many Horror films with settings in actual countries around the world? It doesn't have to be made in that country, but should have at least one scene set there. There are generally 195 countries recognised. 193 countries that are members of the United Nations and 2 countries that are non-member observer states: the Holy See and the State of Palestine. I added two more: Kosovo (recognized by 98 UN members) and Taiwan (recognized by 15 countries). Also let us add Antarctica and the Arctic as settings as well. For extra fun. This thread isn't political, if you don't agree just ignore. It's going to be tough but if anyone can do it you all can! I'll list countries alphabetically. As you supply the film I/Endo/Moderator will place the title next to that country, so we will be able to see how we are doing. Remember this is just a piece of fun. Good luck! My source for the list is www.countries-ofthe-world.com/all-countries.html

Here is the first. You can name a film from a country someone has mentioned as well if you know one.
Kagbeni 2008 Nepal.
loosely based on W. W. Jacobs's 1902 horror short story The Monkey's Paw.
Remember, even though I've named one from nepal, it doesn't have to be made in that country. Nor does it have to be filmed there, so you can include films like the hammer Horror ones.

Dead Meat from 2004 is a film from Ireland that is a lot better than it has any right to be.
