Battle Royale

Holy shit this was awesome. The action, the great individual characters and all the different stories really make this a fun exciting watch. I can't believe it's taken me this long to see it.

Great movie - I have the book sitting beside my bed waiting for a vacation so I can spend some time with it.

I Saw The Devil - absolutely brutal revenge flick. amazing story, gore and action. highly recommend it.

"Kyung-chul (Choi Min-sik) is a dangerous psychopath who kills for pleasure. He has committed infernal serial murders in diabolic ways that one cannot even imagine and his victims range from young women to even children. The police have chased him for a long time, but were unable to catch him. One day, Joo-yeon, daughter of a retired police chief becomes his prey and is found dead in a horrific state. Her fiance Soo-hyun (Lee Byung-hun), a top secret agent, decides to track down the murderer himself. He promises himself that he will do everything in his power to take bloody vengeance against the killer, even if it means that he must become a monster himself to get this monstrous and inhumane killer."

I love that movie. One of the best Asian movie's i've ever seen.

ip man 2

i love the first one, the 2nd one is good but not as good as the first.

Aftershock

This is a very touching and emotional movie but i wished they hadn't skipped over two moments i was waiting for practically the whole movie. It would have been much more emotional and dramatic if they had decided to show them. Still this is a very good movie. The Earthquake scene in the beginning and the disaster scene near the end are done very well and are very complimentary to each other.

The Black House (Kuroi Ie)-Despite it's misleading title this is not supernatural J-Horror- It's a very slow burner though but is rewarding if you persevere with it. It's about the lengths people will go to obtain huge insurance company payouts. Also it throws in a bit of psychological philosophy for good measure.

Yeah...it was pretty emotionally moving story, a brilliant film from China.

Tomie (http://asianmediawiki.com/Tomie) (1999)

At the beginning it seems like it's got an interesting creepy story but at the end it just turned out another average J-horror flick.

Tomie: Another Face (http://asianmediawiki.com/Tomie:_Another_Face) (1999)

3 part Tomie-anthology. First 2 are pretty weak entries filled with poor acting from some amateur young cast members. 3rd one wasn't better either. Overall, pretty disappointing.

recently watched a series of movies called Deathnote and just bought Helldriver.

Deathnote was nifty, but i got wasted when i watched them so they kinda blurred together. i'm pretty sure there were three movies, and they all kept my interest through the marathon. i think it was a supernatural mystery. i don't want to go more in-depth with a review because i'm sure what all was clutch to the story and don't wanna ruin it for anyone, but i would suggest it if yer into foreign films.

Helldriver was... action/gore... live-action anime. i'm in love with this type of movie right now. i'd like to know what that genre is called, if anyone knows what i'm talking about; also taking any suggestions! (have seen machine girl, tokyo gore police, hard revenge milly/bloody battle, vampire girl versus frankenstein girl. coming in the mail will be Vampire Effect and Attack Girls' Swim Team versus the Undead.)

The Sleepy Eyes of Death: Sword of Villainy

[Fearonsarms]

Strange Circus-I'm not really sure about this one. It is worth seeing but it does drag at times-I guess the final third makes up for it.

[Fearonsarms]

Premonition/Yogen (2004) Nothing like the mention of "Akashic Records" to get my attention. So had to see this. It concerns a "newspaper of terror" which shows those who can see it headlines of impending death. It's plot has been done before but I was impressed by its appropriate minimal score mainly using sound effects. However I expected more atmosphere given its subject matter which was serverely lacking compared to other japanese horrors. Worth watching but there's better japanese horrors out there.

[ImmortalSlasher]

To Sir, with Love / Bloody Reunion (in the US). A Korean horror movie. It's not that good. The funniest sequence is when a cop goes into a room with a bat. I never knew bats were standard police equipment...Just a strange movie with bad camera moves in the opening and a twist that most won't believe.

[Ogreman]

GANTZ :) a lot of action and blood, good one!

[Fearonsarms]

Uzumaki/Vortex-I found this film to sound more exciting than it actuslly was-you could never call it gripping or thrilling. However you can tell a lot of work went into it to create the bizarre effects and they were worth sticking around for. But the film doesn't really go anywhere and gives the impression of being made up as they went along plus its only with intense observation that you notice the subtleties of it most would probably be missed. Approach with caution.

[The Grudge]

One Missed Call, can't quite remember the Japanese name, but it was a while back.

[roshiq]

The Intruder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Intruder_%282010_film%29) (2010)

An apartment complex overrun by vicious killer cobras (mostly done by CGI). A very average trashy flick with a bunch of stupid & annoying characters.

The Happiness of the Katakuris (2001)

Weird & funny but not as good as the original 1998 South Korean film The Quiet Family (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0188503/).

>>: B

Human Pork Chop (http://www.horrorexpress.com/moviereview/human-pork-chop) (2001)

The film begins with the gruesome discovery of the bones and body parts of a missing woman. The police arrest the top suspects and drag them in for questioning. After a little bullying and persuasion, we are gradually told in flashback how the poor victim met her awful fate. The girl in question was a drug-addicted prostitute who foolishly stole some money from a vicious pimp. When discovered, she is kidnapped, imprisoned, humiliated, degraded, tortured, and finally killed.

A low budget torture flick from Hong Kong. Not bad but there's some disgustingly disturbing elements like forcing the victim to eat shit in the toilet!

Art Of The Devil 2-truly outstanding film in every way, extremely gory but surprising too. The ending may not add up to close scrutiny but I can overcome that being the feast to the senses this is. Highly recommended and far superior to the patchy first film.

Dark Forest [4 Horror Tales] (2006)

A low budget K-Horror that just needed only 15 to 20 minutes or less to tell the damn boring story. But they dragged it too long (more than 90 minutes!) & made it a pretty painful experience, even for a viewer like me.

[ChronoGrl]

Chungking Express (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109424/) (1994)

Not horror, but a very well-made character drama. I thought that the first 1/2 dragged a little bit, but I absolutely fell in love with the second half. And then I cried in the end (even though I suppose it was supposed to be a "hopeful" ending) - Not sure what happened, but it just left me feeling a little empty and lonely; could have been my mood, but I felt a little let down. I think the younger me would have liked it more.

3.5/5.

Wong Kar Wai is great. I've fallen behind with his stuff. Watched a lot of it in the late 90s early 2000s. Fallen Angels blew me away when I saw it on the big screen.

[Fearonsarms]

Necromancer (2005) Terrible, woeful, limpid bore-fest that I simply couldn't finish. Dull as dishwater and about as exciting as a blocked toilet

Oh, wow, I just put it together that this is the guy who did In The Mood for Love and 2046.

I'm going to be honest - It was quite a while ago that I tried to watch In The Mood for Love and it really bored me to tears at the time; couldn't finish it.

I've heard that 2046 is incredible though, but I've held off since I wasn't a huge fan of ITMfL.

Just added Fallen Angels to my Netflix queue - Thanks for the heads up!

Same here! I'm a huge Kar-Wai fan, too.
I'd also check out Happy Together, Chungking Express, and you should definitely give In the Mood for Love another shot.

Bangkok Haunted (2001)

>>: C

[ImmortalSlasher]

Dream Home.

This movie reminded me of Antichrist. Both try to be realistic horror films as opposed to the masked killer type. The kills in Dream Home are crazy. So are the things that one shouldn't do in a horror movie. Namely alcohol/drugs and sex. But the movie tries for both realism and horror and I think that is where it fails. Because the horror portion is strong and the realistic portion although well acted is kind of hard to believe that the main character would snap and go to the lengths that she does.

Matango (1963)Mushroom based horror concerning shipwrecked surivors on a remote pacific island. More time is spent with the characters bitching and backstabbing each other than the desired mushroom action. But when the mushroom action comes it is glorious and worth the wait though if you don't like dated special effects you may want to avoid it. Enjoyable trippy fun.

Just finished watching it on my Ipad actually.

I was wondering if you guys could recommend some solid j-horror/asian horror films to me. I've seen the ju-on films and Reincarnation, along with Ringu. But if there's any good ones you can suggest, feel free to let me know.

What kind of Asian horror are you looking for? There are psychological ones such as 13 Beloved, I Saw the Devil and Confessions. If you're looking for one that features ghosts and supernatural beings there's Body 19, Rule#1, Ladda Land. If you're not sure, try some shorts like 4bia/Phobia 1 and 2 or the experimental shorts from Japan. Hope this helps :)

I like the horror portions of Dream Home. I wasn't too fond of the more realistic parts. I find it crazy that someone would go to extremes over a square apartment in any building. I'm a nature person.
