This is possibly the film book I flick through more than any other, usually to check a review.

Again, it covers the Horror genre broadly (year by year) but introduced me to a lot more European entries that I had never heard of, as well as horror films from Japan and other countries. I disagree with many of the critical opinions in the book but that doesn’t make them any less interesting.

From Leon's list on European horror films.
