The last Asian horror film that I saw was "Carved: The Slit Mouthed Woman"

Came across it late one night on the instant Netflix.

I liked it. It was awfully intense and made me feel uneasy...after watching it, I found myself wanting to leave the lights on when I walked upstairs to my room for bed.

I've always liked foreign horror films. They're so odd and off the wall and they always make me feel uneasy which I think is a great thing for me. Not a lot of horror films nowadays don't really give me that sense of uneasiness and I love that in my modern films especially the foreign films...

It had just the right amount of gore in it too but not over the top. The sudden shots of the slit mouthed woman's face was awesome too...

That's probably a very cliche thing to say but I can't help it. The violence always gets to me...I guess it's just that primal thing...

I love these japanese horrors.. Those ppl know how to scare for sure!

I loved The Grudge 2 and One Missed Call 2, haven't got a chance to see nr. 1 of those, lmao, I FAIL I know, but I'll see em some day.

They know for sure how to make a good horror with a great concept.

The Ring
Shutter
The Grudge
One Missed Call
etc.

I've seen all the American versions of those but only the Japanese One Missed Call. Man that was freaky.

My time to go "DUDE, YOU GOT SOME MOVIES TO WATCH!" :D:D

Kidding, but for real, watch the japanese versions! -A lot scarier than the american remakes. A LOT.

Haha yeah, believe me they're on my list. I was watching foreign horror movies a lot for awhile but then started to watch some old sci-fi movies before i got to those. I watch horror movies in sections almost.

Villain, I can't remember if it was discussed: have you seen Reincarnation yet? If not, I highly recommend it.

No actually i havent. I've been meaning to see it since i wanted to watch all the Horrorfest movies and i've been hearing really good things about that one. That year was the only one i didnt see all of them.

Ooo - ooo - The original Ringu is so incredibly creepy... The remake pales in comparison... Same thing with Shutter... But the original Ringu... Good stuff.

I actually like the Grudge remake better; it's by the same director and I feel with the remake he could make some editorial choices that I thought worked... The end was very silly though...

Ditto. Same guy who did The Grudge. Good stuff.

...

Watched R-Point tonight...

The pros: Definitely atmospheric and all of the characters were definitely human. Good creepy moments.

The cons: Definitely a slow-burner, which is not generally a draw-back, but my ankle was bothering me so I had a hard time sitting still. Would up getting bored. Ultimately, didn't really feel like anything NEW to me. I think that even if I were feeling better, it probably wouldn't have been over a 3 out of 5. Or maybe I'm just turning into a jaded horror viewer...

Yeah i gotta check those out and i agree, the ending of The Grudge just wasnt needed. They always have to go a step too far dont they.

leezuki 06-28-2011 08:43 AM

tale of two sisters, really good but i had to watch it bout 3 times to try and understand what the story was about.

Fearonsarms 06-28-2011 01:40 PM

I second the recs of the original Ringu (and Ringu2), Shutter etc. Also second the recs of Reincarnation and Tale Of Two Sisters.

I agree that RPoint is very atmospheric but a bit so-so to the die hards like us.

Horrors of Malformed Men (1969)

Liked its mystery thriller kind of pattern. But that guy should straight went to the island first rather than screwing the ladies in the house. The last scene was hilarious.:D

>>: B

Revenge: A Love Story (2010)

A very decent gruesome revenge thriller from Hong Kong with a simple story. Liked the ending.

>>: B+

i just watched hansel and gretel i have to make one of my fave movies,really good movie.

Ju-On: The Grudge

This is so much better then the American version. With the american one, the little boy was never able to freak me out but he did in this one. Plus the story is so much better. The american one just seems so dumbed down now as if they thought people wouldnt be able to understand the timeline. The ending is so much better too.

The progression was some what the same but Ju-On had a bunch of different stories and a more eschewed although more interesting timeline and the American one reduced the stories and even cut some out. Also the ending is different and the characters.

i watched aftershock,very good movie.

The Unjust (2010)

A good crime thriller center around rivalry between a Police officer & a prosecutor. The interesting part is there's no definite 'good guy' in this movie. Liked it. It won't be surprising if there's a Hollywood remake comes out in future.

>>: B+

Gothic & Lolita Psycho (2010)

Typical Japanese splatter fest revenge plot. Quite simple & funny. Liked the little twist at the ending. At least better than VG vs FG.

>>: B-

leezuki 08-03-2011 04:08 AM

leezuki 08-04-2011 05:56 AM

Tetsuo: The Bullet Man

I loved it, especially with the NIN music.

I'm about to watch the original too.
