Kairo and Oldboy are obvious choices for beginners. After this, check out films by Akira Kurosawa, Yasujiro Ozu, Takashi Miike (just don't watch Visitor Q first!) etc.

Other films of interest: A Chinese Torture Chamber Story, not what it sounds like and it's got some flying ninjas with kick ass sex techniques!?:p Dumplings (which I think has a shorter version on the three extremes disc?) Weird but fasinating little tale. Story of Ricky, for martial arts gore and stupidity. Ichi the killer, if you like your more savage films, but stay clear of the UK disk, try to find the Dutch 2 disc special edition. The Untold Story, yet again a bit savage in parts but still a good film. Uzamaki. This film is just weird but excellent at the same time. Versus, a good zombie swordfighting and guns film(there's not enough of them about). Hope this helps.:) |

Thanks alot guys!
Ive looked for some Akira Kurosawa films in the past, but I'll be damned if Blockbuster carries any...I know they have some of the other ones you guys mentioned though, I'll be sure to check them out. Thanks again, and keep the recomendations coming!

I came upon PULSE [KAIRO] in a Target store for $20. I didn't pick it up....is it worth it?
For reference...i loved The Eye,Ju-On, even the remake,The Grudge. |
