Horror has seen remarkable success in 2025. Popular franchises have celebrated new entries, like V/H/S/Halloween, Black Phone 2, 28 Years Later, the Conjuring franchise’s swan song, and what might be the best Final Destination movie to date. Original films like Weapons, Good Boy, and Together helped open minds and get under their audience’s skin, while offerings like Sinners and Frankenstein are even likely to earn themselves Academy Award nominations.

There’s plenty to appreciate and learn from these domestic horror films, but audiences are selling themselves short if they don’t broaden their horizons and explore the rest of the world’s cinematic horror achievements from this year. 2025 was a very exciting year for international horror films, including many titles that are sure to impress, delight, and disturb those who are looking for something different.

Author Brian Raftery has done all the legwork and takes us on a deep dive not only into the literary and film credits of the character, but also a fascinating look at author Thomas Harris, a rather reclusive and perhaps eccentric creative whose fascination with serial killers and fine dining spawned one of the smartest, most deranged characters ever to grace a page or film cell.

Starting with his first novel, BLACK SUNDAY, it was obvious that Harris was a talent like no other before him, but it was RED DRAGON, the first appearance of Hannibal, that cemented him as a bona fide best-selling author. THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS sent the publishing world spinning. He followed that up with two more ventures into the land of the cannibal with HANNIBAL and HANNIBAL RISING.

Raftery takes us behind the scenes of Harris’s unique writing style, the long stretches of research and traveling that Harris would spend between novels. [...]
