Suicide Club is good, not sure if you could show it with a bunch of people in the room without having a few confused heads though. Its really a personal interpretation movie. However it would probably be better to view in a group than....

GOZU! This is such a great and twisted movie. Be prepared with this one. You mentioned Audition above and Miike is always screwy but Gozu and Visitor Q really take the cake in his library. If you have intelligent friends you could watch this one with them.

Strange Circus was pretty good. I actually downloaded it online but when i was Circuit City last i saw it there and i did buy it. So.... yea its good. I say its worth putting on your waiting list. I dont think this one would be a major problem showing in a group setting.

Cello Ehh, personally i did not enjoy this one. Decent spooks though.


Additional few (Trailer link provided in name):
Wishing Stairs

The Vengeance Trilogy is a must for any movie fan, these movies are so unbelievably good.
OldBoy
Mr Vengeance
Lady Vengeance

Shutter, not original for the genera at all. But EXTREMELY spooky.

Hellevator Yes, bad name i know. Still a great movie.

I dunno, theres a lot of great asian movies out there.

Amen to that

Oldboy is easily the best of the bunch...and one of the best movies of the 21st century

I cannot say which one is the best.
Lady vengeance... man. every time i see that i like it more and more.
And Mr Vengeance ive always loved on the same level as oldboy.
Its tough to put any above the others


Oh also,
Re-Cycle is a must too. Thats the bastard child of asian horror + the labyrinth + the never ending story.

Recommendations:

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002)
APT (2006)
Face (2004)
The Red Shoes (2005)
Alone (2007)
Art of the Devil 2 (2005)


btw, Cello is a mediocre horror and Takashi Mike's Gozu is a very weird one...I hated it.

Jameslofton 01-06-2008 02:11 AM

Marebito
The Red Shoes
Crazy Lips and Gore from Outer Space(both a bit cheesy, but good)
Visitor Q

These are all on Netflix.

connors_boy 01-13-2008 03:05 AM

try
Visitor Q
The Eye
Ichy the killer
Dark water
Spiral (forgot the japanese titel)
Tomi

sorry if some have already been posted

Try Ichi The Killer, The Eye, Old Boy - All Are Very Good!!!! Battle Royale 2 Is Well Worth A Look.

ChronoGrl 01-14-2008 02:10 PM

Ooooo, these are REALLY good suggestions.

...

I think that I'm going to go with Kwaidan for this Saturday... I also happen to have Three ... Extremes II, so I'll probably bring that over as well.

WANT to see:
The Eye (but Netflix doesn't have it).

My friends have seen The Eye 2, but thought it was mediocre and not as good as the first one.

DP McCoy - You mention both One Missed Call and The Grudge 2... I wasn't a huge fan of the American remake of The Grudge 2 and the American remake of One Missed Call looks terrible... The originals much better? Just curious...

Gozu and Visitor Q sound great... Maybe I'll have to pre-watch them before showing them to the group.

...

I really hated the American remake of The Ring... And hated it... I've often been curious about how the original Ringu was... Any good?


I'm a little wary of Battle Royale 2... While I really liked the first one, I'm just wary of a sequel... Thoughts?

To answer this myself (sorry DP).. The Grudge 2 is not a remake of Ju-on 2: the grudge. Grudge 2 (American) was a stand alone. Not a remake. Ju-On 2 is nothing great, but leaps better than the American counterpart. Also so you know.... The Grudge 3 coming out soon is a remake of Ju-On 2.

I personally believe that its the most overrated Asian horror movie and not a whole lot better than the remake. But yea... id give the remake a 5 of 10 and the original a 6 of 10.

BR2 does not live up to the first that is for sure. But thats kind of hard to do.
Id say watch it when you can but dont make a big deal out of not seeing it.
