I just finished Marebito. Interesting flick even if it wasn't at all scary. Not great, but not bad either.

Doppelganger. This was quite a bit different from Kurosawa's other films. Although the atmosphere and soundtrack mark it as one of his films, the slightly comedic tone and happy (or at least hopeful) ending make it a horse of a different color. Koji Yakusho, as usual, turns in a sterling performance in the lead role. All in all, I'd recommend it to fans of Kurosawa, but don't make this one your starting point. Overall: 7/10.

Vital. I had never heard of this one before, but it was one of the four Asia Extreme films showing on Sundance this month. Interesting flick. Not really horror but it kept my attention.

Sounds like a crappy oldschool kung-fu flick. "Ooohh, i see you been study fierce eagle claw. But thatīs no match for my deadly monkey style. Prepare to die!"

Bad Guy. Very interesting Korean flick. Not horror but certainly disturbing.

Dark Water -- I'm not a huge fan of the Americanized version, but I liked this one. The little girl who played Ikuko was really good, and I recognized a few actors from other J-horror movies I've seen. I'm not sure about the ending, however. I'm not saying the American version's was better, but the Japanese version seemed to try to tie up too many loose ends. It was rather bittersweet, so it wasn't a "happy" ending. Of course, I'm one of those "weirdos" who likes it when a movie doesn't end exactly the way I want, and this movie didn't come anywhere near ending the way I wanted.
