China screens two foreign horror films for the first time, signaling cautious market diversification.
In late January 2026, China opened its cinemas to two imported psychological horror films—France’s "Return to Silent Hill" and Stanley Kubrick’s "The Shining"—during a quiet pre-Spring Festival window.
The releases, marking the first mainland showings of both films, filled a gap left by few domestic releases and signaled a growing acceptance of international horror.
Though not expected to become blockbusters, both films attracted niche audiences, building on the commercial success of recent foreign horror entries like "Final Destination: Bloodlines" and "Alien: Romulus," and reflecting a cautious diversification in China’s film market.
