I’m especially thinking of some bizzare foreign horror movies that didn’t make sense to me and I figure there’s gotta be some from my own (US) culture that just make 0 sense outside of the context of having been raised in this culture.

    I’ve watched a few Chinese horror films that have to do with Luck/Lucky things rr specific curses or hexes. While they can be spooky, they don’t hit me in the same way as something more native to my own cultural heritage does.

        Not sure if it was Chinese, but I believe Incantation fits that bill. One of my top fave movies I saw this year, but noticed while looking for reviews afterwards that there was a huge uproar overseas by people who truly believed they were tricked into being cursed by the movie
