A Japanese Horror Flick
 

Their is a movie I've read about in Fangoria and have wanted to see but never have.

I haven't been able to find it.

It's a Japanese horror flick I believe and it's called The Audition

Fangoria reviewed the DVD, they said it was slow untill the very disturbing end.

If anyone knows of this film inform me if it's worth it or not.
(No Spoilers, though)

AUDITION
 

Yes! You *must* check this one out, FangoFan!

It can be slow at times, but stick with it. It's one of the most disturbing films I have ever seen, and the last 30 minutes are so are some of the most brutal images I have ever seen on film.


Great one. Definitely one of my favorites from Japan.

Thanks for the insight I' ll check it out for sure.

I second that, Audition is a must-see. Truly disturbing. Supposedly when it's shown in a theater about half the audience leaves during the last ten minutes.

Takashi Miike made another film called Ichi the Killer that is also really great. It's not horror but is really gruesome, rooms full of body parts and that sort of thing.

while on the topic
 

JUST HAD TO MENTION ANOTHER ASIAN FILM, THIS ONE DIRECTED BY SAMMO HUNG, IN HIS PRE-SHITTY DAYTIME TV SHOW CAREER, IT WAS CALLED "MISTER VAMPIRE"....IT'S THE FUNNIEST HORROR-COMEDY I'VE EVER SEEN, AND ALSO HAS STUNT COREOGRAPHY THATS WAY IMPRESSIVE EVEN BY TODAYS STANDARDS, AND I THINK IT'S LIKE ABOUT 10 YEARS OLD....ANOTHER REALLY GOOD ONE (JUST ACTION, NOT HORROR) IS CALLED "PEKING OPERA BLUES", AND IT JUST ROCKED, BABY!
AM i ALONE HERE? OR HAS ANYONE ACTUALLY SEEN EITHER OF THESE TWO GREAT FILMS??? LET ME KNOW WHAT U THINK OF 'EM, AND IF U HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OF SIMILAR FILMS, LET ME KNOW...:p

I saw Mr. Vampire 4. I agree, it was funny, good kung-fu choreography, and the vampires were... different.

Chinese vampire movies are noted for featuring vampires that hop around instead of walk. They can be stopped or controlled by putting spells in the form of Taoist scrolls on their foreheads.

Can anyone recommend any other Chinese vampire films?

4?!?
 

wha....!?!?!?!?
there was a mister vampire 4?
I didn't even know there was a sequel at all!!
Also, if anyone has any idea where to get dvd asian action or horror films, preferably with english subtitles available, please let me know..

Audition
 

I have heard many horror fans say this is a must see movie and has one of the most horrifying last 30 minutes ever. The question is would it be worth the money to buy it because I know that's the only way I will ever get to see it (it's even hard to find buying it, any suggestions?). I'm also not to keen on subtitles, does it take away from the movie at all? Opinions wanted :) ..........

It's a great movie, and the less you know about what happens the better. The subtitles don't take anything away, just watch it. I know Blockbuster carries it, so you could rent it.

A very good movie, it wont scare you as much as it will disturb you.
Then you will be scared at how disturbed you are :eek:

Not for the faint hearted and I know that sounds out of place here but for once it is true.
A true horror film for a change, not as in wow dude horror is cool but as in wow dude I'm a sick puppy, I have to watch that again, but in a while.

One of the joys of being English is that this was on the TV, I got myself a copy instantly.
Go get it, fantastic stuff.
