Recommended Asian Horror Movies
Hi!
I have watched A LOT of Asian horror movies but I feel like I'm always missing a good one. Does anyone have any recommendation list? I'm hoping that this thread can attract members who have a lot of knowledge on this. :) Thanks in advance! |

Audition, unnerved me.

The Ring Series
The Grudge Shutter |
This is exactly the thread I was looking for. The thread itself is not all that great, but the links to other threads with detailed reccomendations are very useful. The only question I would have is, do you think there have been any noteworthy Asian films since 2010? Asian ghost films in particular. Anyway, really appreciate this thread.

Hey Mett - Here are my favorites - It's a fairly exhaustive list BUT does have some gaps in terms of stuff that I still need to see. I'm going to try to organize them a bit... BTW - I think that all of these are pre-2010 for the most part.
Ghost Flicks - I really love Asian supernatural films - The fact that the ghosts are a) Corporeal and b) Mostly out for revenge just simply unnerve me. Here's my list of favorites, sort of in descending order:
Anthologies - These were actually good introductions to some of the popular Asian horror directors, I like the first one in particular but both are worth a watch:
Chan-wook Park - At times I refer to him as my absolute favorite director. I consider "The Vengeance Trilogy" probably the best trilogy I've ever seen; it's a meditation on revenge and how revenge alters who you are.
Takashi Miike - So, a discussion about Asian horror flicks can't be complete without the mention of Takashi Miike. He reminds me a LOT of David Lynch... But bloodier and a lot more disturbing (depending on the film) - The only one of his movies that I can broadly recommend is Audition but you should probably check out the other ones too if you want to get a taste of what might be considered "extreme" Asian cinema:
Not sure how these fit into the categories above, but here are some other favorites:
Asian horror that I haven't seen but I've heard great things about:
I'm sure there's much more but that should be enough to get you started. ::wink:: |
Rigor Mortis- Must Watch!!!
Dorm- great ghost story (Thai Film) must watch!!! The Host- very funny, well done, monster style movie Pulse- i liked a lot The Curse Occult The Maid Dumplings- if you dont eat them Audition- the end is a mess House- extremely weird, but extremely entertaining if you get the point!!! Tale of Two Sisters- wow!!! Shutter Dark Water- good movie, American remake was also good MaCabre- Indonesian movie... good one Cult- not great movie, kinda funny maybe... weird things |
List of Bollywood Horror Films
Veerana (The Wild)
Purana Mandir (The Old Temple) Purani Haveli (The Old Mansion) Mahakaal (The End of Time) Shaitaani Taqat (The Evil Power) Roohani Taqat (The Spiritual Power) Tehkhana (The Room) ::wink:: |
The scariest Asian movie I ever watched was called "Coming Soon". It's a Thai horror movie and probably one of the best the Thai horror industry has ever made. Shomba really scared me when I was a young teen and I had a difficult time going to bed that night!
