“Beware of someone who forbids you from opening a door,” warns this 2009 kinky-thriller-with-horror-elements from writer-director Joko Anwar, whose name will appear a lot on this list since he’s currently one of Indonesia’s leading genre creators. The Forbidden Door is about a sculptor who becomes entangled in a taboo underworld while dealing with some intense marital problems—or does he? Stylish and shocking, the film earned comparisons to the work of David Lynch, Alfred Hitchcock, and Pedro Almódovar when it was first released; it arrived for your streaming convenience on Shudder earlier this month.
