Jeepers Creepers
The Ring
Dawn of the Dead
Hell, even Wrong Turn was better in my opinion.

I thought it was too disjointed like the Japanese version.

Dunno bout' that second part:D

And not in a good Pulp Fiction way. More of a "We have no idea how to express this story properly" way.


no one ever seems to acknowledge me saying that it was predictable... Does that mean you did too?

most of these Japanese or Korean ghost stories are fairly predictable ...in the sense that they are mysteries that once solved,, should put the ghost to rest.

this is coming from someone (me) who considers almost every movie i see - predictable.

i dont care much about that in this case ..
i find that the movies are so well made that they are able to pull off a compelling movie each time.

(i'm speaking within my exposure so far - Ju-on, Ringu, Dark Water, The Eye - and the american counterparts so far)

I havent liked the Korean movies too much so far. They seem like a pale imitation of the Japanese films.



but it still leaves me wondering what you prefer .. surely not slasher films ... they are insanely predicctable and totally devoid of atmosphere (i'm talking americans here - not the italians)

3 films in recent memory i've enjoyed ..

6th Sense, The Others, Session 9 .. and Stir of Echos gets an honerable mention. (it was a good movie but it doesnt stay in the forefront of my mind - and there must be a reason for that.

as far as The Grudge ... i dont get the argument that it was hard to follow, or disjointed .... but thats because i didnt have any trouble following it ...
