Sometimes some of the best horror films ( like Martyrs, A Serbian Film, La Horde ) have subtitles. I personally don't understand why so many people have issues with them. Maybe you or someone else can fill me in on why they bother some people so much...just curious ( I guess I should dislike them because I never read...I just figure if the book is good enough they'll eventually make a film about it,lol )

About 1/3 rd of the movies I own have subtitles..they are 10 times better than hollywood films..I do not have a problem reading them at all.  My husband can't stand them..I'd say your missing out on great movies because of that..

foreign language films don't bother me at all. i've watched several and they've all been excellent for the most part. i really loved THE ORPHANAGE, but my choice for best foreign horror film comes from France, THEM. THEM truly scared the crap outta me with a minimum of gore.

Yes it had subtitles...but it was still a good movie, wasn't it?  Here's some other good ones where you have to pick English:

Let the Right One In

Brotherhood of the Wolf

Pans Labyrinth

I loved the Orphanage! It had such a good ending. I wish more people would watch more good movies that have subtitles.
