I've been getting into Asian horror and suspense movies over the last few months. The ones I've seen - Ringu, Jian Gui (The Eye), Honogurai mizu no soko kara (Dark Water), and Ju-On (The Grudge) are all pretty great. Is anyone else into this genre? Any suggestions on similar films to watch? I've been away for a while. Hello hello! |

Sucide club (dont know if that would be horror) but good none the less! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i have seen exactly the ones you listed there.. i do like all of them yeah but they get kind of too similar after awhile.. hair in water.. water.. water.. but yeah, better than any other horror ive seen |
||||||||

Battle Royal is definatley one to watch if you havent seen it yet not exactly a horror but there's blood and gore galore |
||||||||

I'm definately into it! You should see ringu2 and 0 too, even though they're not as good, they still provide amusement. Also: The uninvited.. can't remember it's real name, but it's korean.. it's kind of slow, but still good... I'm still looking for more new stuff, but you've seen the majority of the better ones... |

As long as people are reccomending other stuff than horror: Ichi the killer... |
||||||||
|

Audition's a bit of a given |
||||||||
|
|

Audition is more like a suspense with horror elements. but it's a great movie. is sort of a bizarre suspense/horror thing. also a great movie. |

Kaïro (Pulse) is my favorite. others include: Shiryo no wana (Evil Dead Trap), Kyua (Cure), Gozu, Yibola bing du (E-Bola Syndrome), Tetsuo The Iron Man, Ba Xian fan dian zhi ren rou cha shao bao (The Untold Story). Definitely check out the works of Kiyoshi Kurosawa. His films tend to be methodical and exceptionally creepy. Pulse has an end of the world, ghost kind of theme while Cure revolves around hypnosis. |

"Ichi the killer" is the most horrible film i've ever seen |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Yes, you HAVE TO watch A Tale of Two Sisters!! I've watched loads of Asian horror but this film is by far the best i've seen. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Irreversible is realistic horror |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its not asian like, its french. still the best film on this list |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you would know A Tale of Two Sisters is realistic horror if you had actually watched it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ive seen that. its not in the least bit realistic or scary |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i take it you didn't like it then? :) oh well, fair enough... personally I find it the best out of all these new asian horror films, many of which are overrated. |

after seeing a clip on that on a countdown around halloween i've been wanting to see it. anyone in the us know as to where i could rent it? |
||||||||

Thanks all. This should keep me going for a while. thecurbcreeper - NetFlix is good for this sort of stuff if you already subscribe. Otherwise head for suprnova.org or get the eMule p2p client. |

dc++ also rocks for getting movies.. you can get just about anything, but you have to have a share to start out with, which sucks... |

try film called Bunshinsaba. quite good. |
||||||||
|
|

I just finished watching 'Happiness of the Katakuris' by horror director Takeshi Miike. this movie is bizzare. It is like 'Sound of Music' / 'Evil Dead' / 'Motel Hell' I laughed, I cried, I sang along during the karaoke scene. No shit, there is a Karaoke scene where the audience is asked to sing along (in japanese though). it was great! |

Good call!! Irriversible will fuck you up more than any horror. I have never seen so many people go to a movie and come out hating it, and being totally justified, or come out loving it, and also being totally justified. |

I loved that film. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Irreversible + Requiem for a dream = bad feelings, good movies! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
try Visitor Q.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dead or Alive is good fun. try that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The rest of the movies I've seen are child's play compared to "Audition." I had to watch "Tonari no Totoro" afterward to purge my brain of those images ... Thanks! (I think) |
