The Road (2011)

This Filipino horror had the potential as it offers a good story with fine camera works but needed a better script & cast. Also the twist at the end was quite unnecessary & silly.

nah it's nothing like Versus. 13 Assassins is set in feudal Japan and actually has a great story; although i didn't mind Versus, pretty good on a low-budget

Really? Couldn't get into it - Maybe I'll try it again.

...

Mutant Girl Squad (2010)

I had actually been looking forward to this one for a while but I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed. I feel like it's just another weird Japanese schlock movie - Just seems to be weird and bloody for the sake of being weird and bloody... Which I get is the point, but I didn't enjoy it like I enjoyed, say, Tokyo Gore Police, Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky, and Meatball Machine.

I lump it with Machine Girl and Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl - If you like those, you'll like these but I ultimately found it meh.

Macabre,It was hugely gory and the story was a bit weak in areas but I really didnt mind, as it was a non stop full on horror fest.

D@bbe (2006)

This is the Turkish take on 2001 J-Horror classic Kairo. But it isn't a straight remake. Turks took the idea & incorporated some portion of Doomsday theory (from Islamic belief) with it. And surprisingly they have made a better film than the American remake of Kairo. Thought at times it was kind of silly in the acting & visual effects area but overall, I found it decently creepy. Worth a watch.
