Your favourite Asian Horror Flick!

Started by papabeard2 pages

I think the futuristic nature of the story, with the goverment ceating these laws and rules for governing the people, This "Nightmare Vision of the Future", having the children fight and kill each other etc, was very much a Science Fiction concept, very Orwellian in essence, with overtones of 1984, maybe not Sci-Fi in the sense of Aliens and Spaceships , but there is definetly a science fiction element to this movie.

audition or batlle royale... in horror stakes audition...

This was a follow-up to the closed thread:

I'd like to comment on those, then add my suggestions.

Audition - Lots of build up, poor pay off. "Disturbing scenes" are too few and far between.

Battle Royale - Almost flawless. A personal fav, save the CGI blood.

Ichi the Killer - Incredibly overrated, IMO, like most Miike flicks. Nowhere near as gory as everyone claims it to be, and Ichi is often confused for the detective.

Suicide Club - Funny pop culture parody, otherwise decent flick.

Versus - Fantastic gore, cool Yakuza/Zombie/Kung-Fu storyline.

The Eye - More drama than anything. Like a bad "Sixth Sense" clone.

Phone - Never saw it..

Gozu - Miike's attempt at the occult. Very messy, pretentious, and with too much effort focusing on being weird, he loses sight of any coherent storytelling.

Hmmmmmmm...

Ju-Rei - Crappy "Ju-On" ripoff.

Ju-On - Incoherent ghost story, basis for "The Grudge", both of which are plagued with continuity issues and errors, making it hard to follow, much less enjoy.

St. John's Wart - Crap.

Junk - Pretty solid zombie/yakuza flick. Awesome ending.

Ringu - Hilarious, and totally unintimidating.

Living Hell - Decent movie, somewhat of an Asian "TCM".

Battlefield Baseball - One of the silliest, most original Asian horrors I have ever come across.

..I'm sure there's more, but those are the ones that come to mind. As you can see, I'm not a big fan, lol.

Just interested why you see The Eye as a 6th Sense clone? apart from the character can see dead people aspect.

The Phone you will probably hate. I found it to be enjoyable, especially the child actress in the film, very disturbing.

yeah i liked the phone too but i like audition and battle royale the best I thought gozu was good but just because it was so wierd you wondered what would happen next. It isn't a movie you can enjoy multiple times.

well since I accidently posted twice I will say has anyone seen the preqeul to ichi the killer. 😈

the grudge or the ring those movies were all rigth......

I liked "A Tale of Two Sisters," one of the better horror movies I've watched here in Korea.

has anyone seen Phone, is it any good or just another Ring clone?

I mentioned Phone above.
