I like asian horror quite a bit more than western horror. It's because it's more disturbing than scary. The movies set up the characters really well in the beginning so you connect with them and then throw in a twist right near the end. If you don't have the attention span to last until the good stuff I can see why you wouldn't like it.

I've seen asian horror that I don't like, but often times those movies are sequels being pushed because the original did very well.

You also have to keep in mind that most asian directors aren't making these movies for American's they're making them for themselves and the people around them. What the Japanese find scary, you might not.
