Spanish thriller & horror recommendations?
I'm interested in picking up some Spanish (or Mexican) thrillers and horror DVDs soon; any good suggestions? I've really enjoyed ones like Tesis, Devil's Backbone, Los sin Nombre (The Nameless), Intacto, Nadie Conoce a Nadie (Nobody Knows Anybody), and Darkness (although not a Spanish-language film, it's from the director of Los sin Nombre and has a very similar vibe) and would like to find some similar titles. One called "Box 507" has my interest right now...
Also, are there any specific e-tailers anyone likes? I've used DVDGo.com, Diabolik, and Poker Industries, but they're all fairly expensive for Spanish films ($30 is typical). I'd like to find someone who sells them a bit cheaper, but if not, oh well!

More fantasy than horror but I would highly recommend Daniel Monzon's El Corazon del Guerrero (aka Heart of the Warrior), winner of Best non-Asian film at the 2001 Fantasia Film festival.

.If I could recall correctly (well, I am actually possitive about Solo Mia-DVDGO)...the other...it was awhile...might have been diabolik. As I said so far I have had only one order from Spain and it was pricey.....I myself will be picking the Emilio Martínez Lázaro Collection- 3dvd set as soon as I could afford to-
the films ncluded are-
Pack Amo tu Cama Rica-
El Otro Lado de la Cama-
Los Peores Años de Nuestra Vida-
Paz Vega, Javier Bardem.....no comments!!
ps
Forgot to mention- if you are fluent in French (well, I am looking at your screen-name)....there is an excellent French disc of Fausto that was on sale at Amazon.fr just before New Year's.

EDIT:
Nevermind the French suggestion....they've gone

Yes, Fausto is definetely no more. I may not be fluent in French but I can get by. My recent order from amazon.fr did include " fanfan la tulipe". After watching it occured to me that along with english subs you don't need a brain either. No wonder it hasn't been heard from since it debut at Cannes. If an indie studio picks it up and markets it well, it might do good with the summer crowd here. I did however loved Vincent Perez directed "Peau d' ange", certainly very low profile indeed.
