Nang Nak (1999)
Ninja Scroll aka Jûbei ninpûchô (1993)
Noriko's Dinner Table aka Noriko no shokutaku (2005)
"This slow burner of a film is not so much a horror flick as it is a philosophic take on the horrors of isolation and emptiness in society. Building on Shion Sono's
Suicide Club,
Noriko's Dinner Table takes the viewer to the next level by expounding upon the hollow ubiquity found in community by showing us a solution to the absurd problem of familial and social detachment. Just like instant coffee and 3 minute rice, this flick elicidates the insanity of looking for instant happiness and contentment in the family and in society in general. Of course, the ardent and patient horror fan will be rewarded with some tragic violence, but this one is not a horror flick per se, as much as it is immensely horrific." -

Noroi the Curse (2005)
"It is my humble opinion that this wonderflick by Koji Shiraishi would best be seen without any review other than that it was original and awesome in its own right. That it is scary and that it deserves to be on this top 100 list is more than enough information. Don't even read the back of the DVD cover or the Netflix blurb, just watch and enjoy!" -
