La residencia was the best of these movies. (There should still be a link to the uncut version can be found on this list of movies I've watched on Youtube.) This piece from the soundtrack of Et mourir de plaisir stood out to me. Fritt vilt II ends up being better than Halloween II even while ripping off the basic "hospital aftermath" premise.

I would have watched more, but YAM-Mag's working on a poll of "Best movies in 2012 - redux" so I did a lot of non-horror 2012 catchup watching the week before Halloween. My favorite of those films was the two-part, 5+ hour Hindi saga Gangs of Wasseypur. Been playing the soundtrack's "Kaala Rey" on repeat.

Another movie I watched that wasn't "horror" but was scary and harrowing true horror was the Soviet WWII drama Come and See, which starts out weird and ends up devastating. What really struck me was that my random thought during the 1st act of "would things would be happier if the movie played in reverse?" WAS LATER ANSWERED AND SHOT DOWN TO MY SURPRISE HOW DID THIS MOVIE READ MY MIND?
