Around the World: Europe
Look Who’s Back (2015)
After he somehow finds himself in present-day Germany, Adolf Hitler becomes quite the local celebrity and gains a following. Filmed with real-life reactions and interviews of native Germans and tourists, this black comedy asks what would people do if somebody like Hitler came back into the limelight. If you can find yourself a copy, since it’s currently not on any major streaming site in the US, I highly recommend it.Suspiria (1977)
When Suzy travels to Germany to a ballet school, she begins to uncover a dark history with the building when students and staff are dying one by one. With a bright, vivid color palette and an eerie score, this is a bold film that isn’t afraid to be a little creative, especially with the kills. For anybody wanting a little more terror and gore, you can’t go wrong with a little classic Italian horror.
