Hanussen (1988)
Charismatic Clairvoyant/Hypnotist
Excellent film based on the real-life figure of Erik Jan Hanussen, a clairvoyant and hypnotist who found fame in Nazi Germany. Featuring a magnetic performance from Klaus Maria Brandauer
Liza, The Fox-Fairy (2015)
Hungarian Black Comedy/Woman and Her Jealous Ghost Companion
A head-scratchingly odd effort – a woman who stayed inside all her life goes in search of love only for the jealous ghost of a 1950s pop singer to kill every man who looks at her
Metamorphosis (2007)
Modern-Day Elizabeth Bathory
A Countess Bathory film actually made by Hungarians (the area where Bathory lived historically) but this promptly heads into extremely bad movie territory
Moth (2016)
Found Footage Horrors

The Princess and the Goblin (1992)
Animation/Fairytale
Likeable animated fantasy made for young children
Taxidermia (2006)
