Weird, slow and the ending made no sense at all

Dream Home.
Decent gore. Fun story.

Reincarnation

Cracking film love it :)

The Red Shoes (2005) Besides the fact that the shoes were actually pink and not red I actually really enjoyed this japanese supernatural horror. It's a challenging film in its delivery but very rewarding.Highly recommended.

Original Godzilla

I watch ALOT of asian movies. I know I know you couldn't tell. Anyways. Last one I saw was Nightfall. Typical police drama mystery piece. When I mean by typical is it was predictable as to where I figured it out before it was over. I don't know sometimes I prefer that as opposed to the twists that make no sense to when the movie ends there was no mystery into you figuring it out cuz the story twist and turns just to do so. Brief description would go something like this. Ole dude goes to prison. For murder of this girl. Does a quarter. He gets out and kills her dad and he's taunting the head dectective thats on the case. And yeah I can't give away the twists and turns you got to watch it.

"Blackhouse" (1999) 7/10

Original but predictable horror/thriller with an overly long climatic ending.

I agree I thought it could have been shorter-not a bad film by no means but too predictable even though it was delivered in quite an inventive way.

last asian movie
 

Honestly, Ringu (again) like 5 min. ago

The Boxer's Omen (1983)

Kind of funny but pretty weird flick, not bad.

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.

Thanks, Angra.

YAY!! :D

You're welcome.

Seytan (1974)

Turkish Exorcist!! Daring effort!

>>: C

13 Assassins
9/10

Takashi Miike's samurai epic.
The last 60 minutes is non stop hack 'n' slash!

sounds boring. Makes me think of Versus.

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.

Ju-On The Grudge 2 (2003) re-watched this to refresh myself with the story and loved it even more this time around. Looking forward to seeing the more recent Ju-On's asap

I need to give that one another try... I really liked both Ju-On and the remake (probably because Shimizu did both of them), but I really had a hard time getting into Ju-On 2.

Dark Water.

Fair enough-maybe you would prefer Ju-On Old lady In White (2009)? which I've just seen-I absolutely adored it as much as I did Ju-on The Grudge 2 (which I enjoyed LOADS more on the second viewing as I also had a hard time with it the first time I watched it). It is shorter though, only an hour and wow they don't half cram a lot into that hour-not a second is wasted and it goes further into the sinister supernatural territory hinted at in Ju-on 2 plus it stands well by itself so you don't need to have seen all the other ones besides the original Ju-On-The Grudge which is referenced in one scene. Also it looks beyond 'the girl ghost with long black hair extensions' ripped off from Ringu that made the original movie less fresh and inventive as it could have been. This completely makes up for that and gives you a new ghost (amongst other things) to be scared of.

I still need to see Ju-On The Curse 1 and 2 and Ju-On The Gril In Black and excited about them :)

Well I'm sold! I'll add it to my Netflix queue. :)

Sector 7 (2011)

Not sure whether its for the English dubbed version or not, but it seems the screenplay was poorly done with a pretty average plot structure like an Asylum or sy-fy channel monster flick. At the end, for its good production value, a faceless weird looking creature & that hot chick on the lead; it passed the 'entertaining' mark for me.

>>: B-

The Raid: Redemption (2011)

Nice action flick from Indonesia.

>>: B+

Tomie: Replay (2000)

As usually slow burn but better than earlier installment, at least there are some typical Asian creepy moments.

>>: B-

Faaaaaaaaaaart!!

The franchise sucks dunkey balls. Period.

Should've stopped after the first horribly dull sequal.

I tried watching "Thirst" (2009) for a second time, managed an hour and ten minutes this time but still couldn't watch it all the way through. Apallingly unwatchable.

The Incite Mill: 7-Day Death Game (2010)

Somewhat inspired by Agatha Christie's timeless classic mystery And Then There Were None, this is a time passing, decent thriller from Hideo Nakata. Worth a watch.

>>: B

Ringu.

It was on TV a few nights ago. One day I'm going to have a double feature and decide if I prefer the original or the remake.

"I Saw the Devil" 9/10

Finally!!

I can only agree with the rest of the people in here. This is the way to make an action/thriller. non stop action and very brutal. Lovely.

My only small "complain" is that the story could've been craftet a little better.

Epitaph (2007)

This Korean horror flick comes with a mere anthology structure where it tells three separate stories that interweave with each other through it's basic period piece setting & characters. At time some multiple flashbacks make the movie a little convoluted, but eventually it manage to pull it off. There are some fine creepy set pieces, but all the stories relies more on emotionally moving contents about love & lose than the shock value. Liked the psychologically twisted last part of the film mostly. For its good production value, some beautiful cinematography & 3 decent ghost stories, it's definitely worth a watch.

>>: B+

Death Bell (2008) & Death Bell 2 (2010)

Like many other past decade's Asian horror flicks, I could hardly recall anything about 2008's Death Bell. So gave it a watch again before checking out the sequel. Different story & characters but the same format. Decent time wasters.

>>: B

hahahahahaha - I love Chan-Wook Park. I honestly do. And I was so ridiculously excited when I heard about this project... But I found the movie... soooo... boooooring...

I still hadn't the patience to get through all of it needless to say that was the last chance I'm giving it. I don't hate Chan-Wook Park overall-just this movie which is best avoided completely.

Red Room (1999)
Basically this is about what people will do to win money but its intentionally absurd, satirical, pornographic, campy and sick. It includes some genuinely creative uses for household tools such as a hairdryer and a lightbulb. It's lack of seriousness makes the more twisted scenes easier to digest so you find yourself laughing rather than feeling disturbed. I'm sure some people will find it to be nothing more than cheap trash as it's not for everyone. However for entertainment value you can do a lot worse

Since most of it is in Japan, with Japanese acTORs, it'll be
"The Revenge Of Dr. X."

The last Asian movie I watched was about a mud type monster that raped and killed women. It was quite strange. I don't remember the title.

Art Of The Devil 3 which was pretty good. If you liked Art of The Devil 2 you will love this as it follows on nicely from that film.There's the expected graphic torture and it certainly makes you wince and shrink back at it-in a good way. The story was reasonable and the supernatural angles were very well crafted. A solid sequel.
