Mine is Ringu, first I watched really so has special place for me!

A Tale of Two Sisters is one of my favourites, from Korea.


Have you seen the horror from Thailand called Shutter? that's pretty good.

None of 'em.

Audition.

What ones have you seen Solo?

audition or the ring... but im gonna go with audition...

grudge

Audition would be among the top best. I personally prefer The Untold Story for it's disturbing and gore scenes. Pork Buns anyone?

none of them

no good asian movies cept the original of the grudge

how many have you guys seen who keep saying, none of em, no good ones etc. Just interested.

Guinea Pig's Series .. If Your An Extreme Horror Fan You Should Check That Out ...

I thought the grudge was pretty scary. I do have the original asian version, but haven't watched it yet.

If any of you have not seen Kung-Fu Hustle yet, then I suggest you see it. It was the most WILD asian film I have honestly ever seen. It borders the horror genre, as there IS some slashing in it. However, I think the director just wanted to make a film that emcompassed every single idea he ever had!
Check it out...

That isn't a horror wormies.

Versus ( some may not count that as horror but oh well )

Ringu and Jian Gui: The Eye are my Favorites.

Who really wants to read subtitles?

Audition and battle royale (probably not horror but I don't care)

Please tell my you are joking, because that is a sad lazy excuse.

Enough to stand behind my opinion, so, 15-20, which is 14-19 too many. I always feel as if I should "give them a chance" to see if they'll be any different, like I did with "Tale of Two Sisters", and I got burned once again with another predictable ghost story.

So, the cycle will probably continue until I come across one that I find was actually worth my time.

Audition

Stacy
Hiruko The Goblin
Shutter
Audition
Ju-on
Ringu


And even though it's not horror Ichi The Killer

No offence I just cant rebovered reading them and I like movies that I can understand what they are saying.

It's not hard to read subtitles and view the film at the same time, don't miss a thing.

Missing out on a world of films.

I just think it kind of puts u off the movie

I'd have to say my favorite is Hellevator

I have to say I am interested in a jap horror I have heard of called The eye Has anyone seen it?

Yes I have seen it, I thought it was a pretty good movie. Though everyone has their own opinions on movies.

There is an asian movie (I think Korean) that I want to see called "Bunshinsaba" or "Ouija Board". Has anyone seen this movie?

The Eye(which is getting a remake) isn't Japanese; it is Chinese/Thailand/Singapore film and Bushinsaba is Korean yes, have yet to see Bushinsaba. Don't have high hopes for it though, not suppose to be good.

Do you reccomend watching it?(the eye)

Yes, some people will tell you it's just an Asian sixth sense, when, LOL, it has got nothing in common at all apart from the 'seeing dead people' aspect, which was in films before 6th sense 8-).

You Korean?

No I am not Korean, I'm English. Why?

Yeah, I heard that the Guinea Pig's series are pretty good. Never had the chance to check them out. Not easy to find a region 0 or 1 on dvd.

You can find them on amazon and ebay I got my box set off amazon I only watched part of the first one so far though. It is decent really realistic but has no plot so it gets old.

Winddancer, you can get some of them from store4dvd. Have a look on there.

Those are great places, but I was thinking of something more local. Not online. Most likely I will end up getting them from a site.

best buy released the box set you can check on there website to see if they have it at your store.

Just saw a Korean Horror movie called 'The Ghost'. Its also known as 'Dead Friend'.

I thought it was pretty good, has anyone else seen it?

Have not seen it yet, but I am interested to see Ha-Neul Kim in a horror film after seeing her in the comedy My Tutor Friend. Saying that, haven't heard many good things about the movie.

suprisingly it wasn't a bad film, lacks originality, but still in my opinion worth watching.

I am surprised mike didn't get mentioned at all.
Three Extremes was great. Gozu was great.
ringu and juon are child's play when it comes to Asian horror

Miike directed a section of Three Extremes, but yes, Extremes is worth seeing.

Gozu wasn't one of Miike's good films but still worth the look if you are a Miike fan.

An Asian ghost story that lacks originality? Go figure! "Gozu" isn't horror, that was just a non-sensical, messy movie.

Yeah, if you ever watch it you have to pretend you haven't seen Ringu, then you could label it as a really good film. I don't want to spoil it too much if anyone wants to watch it, but it does get quite interesting towards the end.

Wat about the eyes2...

The Eye 2 is a decent watch, I enjoyed it anyway. There is a third one coming, think it's called Eye 10, can't remember.

Really? I haven't seen the second one yet, I have it just need to find time to watch it.

Would you say its better then the first?

Not better than the first no, but The Eye 2 is still worth the watch if you enjoyed the first one.

Cool, got to watch it soon.

Have you seen all for Ju On Movies? (as in Ju On: The Curse, Ju On: The Curse 2, Ju On: The Grudge and Ju On: The Grudge 2)

If so what did you think of them?

I have only seen the two official Grudge ones, yet to see the third one. I enjoyed them but not up there with my favourite Asian films, I prefer the original to the American remake also.

I agree, The Ju on movies were better then the remake. what is your top asian film at the moment? Which would you strongly recommend watching?

Some recommendations if you like these sort of films. You probably have seen these, but if not:

If you haven't seen A Tale of Two Sisters, see it now. It's one of my favourites in Asian horror from Korea.

Ab-Normal Beauty is really a thriller but has some horror elements in it, but the first section of the film is worth watching, the last part of the film I thought spoilt the rest of the film. It's directed by Oxide Pang, one half of the brothers who worked on The Eye.

Into The Mirror is worth the look if you like all these Ringu/ghost type films. Got some good scenes in the film.

Shutter is a good one from Thailand.

Phone - Is worth seeing for the child actress alone, even if you don't like the rest of the film.

Ring Virus is interesting if you want to see another version of Ringu from Korea.

Some people have said that Red Eye is good, I didn't think much of it though.

Unborn But Forgotten, might like this.


A Tale of Two Sisters is the only favourite one to me out of those above, but I just named some films to check out if you are an Asian horror fan more in the realms of less gore.

Thanks, I'll check them out.

I was looking up on Ring Virus since I really like The Ring and I found out it is a different movie then Ring: The Spiral, I thought it was the same movie but different title. I'm a little confused here, so is this the order of the Ring Films?:

Ringu
Ringu 2
Ring 0
Ring: The Spiral/Rasen
Ring Virus

Is that right excluding the American Remake and its sequel?

Ringu
Rasen/The Spiral - unofficial sequel to Ringu
Ring 2
Ring Virus
Ring 0

I like JU-On and Ringu, Dark Water and audition, thats about it, most are a bit cack. And I do like a bit of Versus every now and then.

A Tale of 2 Sisters, Cursed and Phone are all a bit guff.

PS The Spiral and The Ring Virus are utter spoff.

Yeah I never liked spiral that much, The plot wasn't very good at all.

Was darkwater a jap film? Anyone know about the eye remake?so I dont have 2 read the ****ing subtitles!

Dark water is a Japanese film but there is an America remake coming out in the US on the 8th of July this year.

Comes out in Australia on the 4 of August.

I am looking forwards to the Dark Water remake, good cast and a wonderful director, so could be one of the good remakes. Loved the original film so will be interesting to compare the two.

I second that, the original was such a good movie. I liked the remaking of The Ring, hopefully Dark water remake will be just as good.

Just watched Shutter and man was that a great film, I liked the way the plot all fits together and isn't all over the place.

What was darkwater about

Quoted from Imdb.com. Link

After winning a custody battle for her daughter Hitomi tries to make a new start. The apartment she moves into seems perfect at first. Soon though, strange things begin happening. Huge water stains appear on the ceiling and drip constantly, more liquid oozing into the rooms every day. She calls the landlord in but he refuses to do anything about it. A childs red bag shows up in odd places and soon the child herself starts appearing. Hitomi then discovers the origin of the ghost...

Yeah, I'm looking forward to Dark Water too - that's the one with Jennifer Connelly right? I think I saw the trailer a while ago. Its got a pretty good cast, especially for a thriller/horror film.

i never seen this movie but i loved the reviews and the whole plot to it. it's called Marebito. has anyone one seen it?

I saw Shutter, and agree that it's a great movie.

I also saw a Jap horror movie called "Kairo". It was more of a "make you think" type movie, but I liked it.

I wasn't pleased with "The Eye" as a horror movie. In terms of scare value, the only scene that got to me was when the old female patient approached the main charcter in the hospital.

But the storyline is intact.. i guess. hooray

Sorry MildPossession, thought the others might benefit from a second opinion as well. heheheh
