New Zealand is popular for its horror comedy genre but people don’t talk about the exceptional authentic scary movie it produces. Today we are going to discover 3 unique (local) cult horror movies from New Zealand which prove the country can also get serious when it comes to spreading fear!

The Ugly (1997)
Now we have something to give you the psychological chills! The Ugly is a story of a female psychologist bent on finding out the mechanics of the brain of a mental serial killer.
Dr.Karen Shoemaker starts to interview the notorious killer Simon Cartwright who spent five years in mental hospital. She begins to dive deep inside his mind but gradually finds it really difficult to escape.
The glimpses of past life of Simon Cartwright come with spine chilling scares and director Scott Reynolds really succeeds in capturing the spirit of a psychological thriller. Surely we cannot compare it with masterpiece movies like The Silence of the Lambs, but it’s still an intriguing watch.
