Calamity of Snakes aka Ren she da zhan (1983)




Cello aka Chello hongmijoo ilga salinsagan (2005)



"This above average Korean flick is splendidly rich and twisted. The story centers on a music teacher that is tortured by some dark secret. Getting her life back together after a horrible car accident, her inner torment starts to be augmented by something else. With lots of stuff going on, including many creepy women in her life, the source of her new torment is anybody's guess.
With solid acting and a suitably beautiful score, Cello threatens to be a favorite modern Asian horror film. The camerawork is splendid, with great shots and wonderful imagery. Though not as intensely scary as other flicks of this genre, the scare factor comes together in a holistic fashion. And the ending, which threatens to be cheesy, comes full circle and turns out to be truly terrifying. A must-watch." - Psycho_d


Cure aka Kyua (1997)



"This somewhat abstruse crime drama from Kiyoshi Kurosawa is rather slowly paced and difficult to follow. That this is so, is no reason to stay away from this flick, but rather watch it for all its subtle, profound, and underlying intention. Kurosawa tends use intellect as opposed to CGI to move the viewer, and this film demonstrates this talent beautifully. The absolute randomness of the murders is chilling, but that the murders might be related to the murderous capacities that we all harbor might be the most chiiling aspect of this dark, cerebral flick. The ending might also leave the viewer confused, but contemplative long after it is over." - Psycho_d


Dark Water aka Honogurai mizu no soko kara (2002)




Death Note aka Desu nôto (2006)
