Fav Asian horror film?

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!
