Need Advice/Recommendations

[shorty tha pimp]

speakin of japanese zombie films can anyone be good enough to give me a short review of junk, wild zero and versus, i havent dabbled in these yet but have pretty much exhausted the other titles in the zombie genre, thanks

[feral cat]

Wild zero (2000)
Japanese "Rock Band", "Wolf"
This film has japanese guys with big quiff's fighting zombies on turbo powerd motorbikes, and using guitar picks as throwing stars!!!
Flying saucers are heading towards the earth and at the same time a zombie plauge starts!!!!
Eastern (i.e Indian, chinese, japanese) visions of american rock cool always end up cheesey and cliched, leather jackets, greasy hair and fonzee thumbs up!, but you may want to give it a try as it wont be like anything else you have ever seen!

Versus (2002)
A group of prison escapees and yakuza gansters meet up in the woods for a hostage exchage, only to find themselves embroiled in a battle with there previous victems who come back to life and engage them in gun/karate combat!
again worth seeing because it was an independant that they put alot of effort into and its mad, but not the best zombie or japanese horror you will see

Freezer (not zombies but top japanese horror)
a young japanese girl suffers a gang rape and then like (I spit on your grave aka day of the woman) exacts her revenge, storing the bodies parts of her victims in a growing collection of freezers in her flat(apartment)! disturbing movie which is beautifull and touching at times and repulsive at others

If anyone wants to know about any other Japanese, Hong kong or korean movies, just ask and I will help if I can!

I would also recomend the chinese(Hong Kong) movie Riki-Oh (aka Story of Ricky), if you like gore or Kung fu, it's described as evil dead, brainded and the matrix times 10!!, and features amost other scenes a man having razorblades put in his mouth and then being kung fu slapped around the head!

Wow , Very Cool Feral Cat :D Thanks For that Last Post - I got to find these Films !!!!

Ive seen Another Heaven (liked), St Johns Wort (liked, and Ringu(didnt see what all the fuss was about), and am interested in seeing more asian horror films. I am interested in the following:
Stacy
Tomie series
Suicide Club
Audition
Evil Dead Trap
Eko Eko Azarak series
Pyrokinesis
Can anyone recommend these films, or advise as to other good ones?

[feral cat]

your subject title is scarily long!

I would say "Dark water", but if you did not like Ringu it may not appeal!

Freezer (Japan)
Story of Ricky aka Ricki - Oh (Hong Kong/Japanese co. prod)
Satan Returns (hong kong horror)
Battle Royal (if it counts as horror)
Bancock Haunted (Thailand)
The Bride with the white hair (Hong Kong)
Herroic trio (Hong Kong)
The eye (Thailand)
Versus (Japan)
Wild Zero (Japan)
Happiness of Katakuris or anything by Takashi Miike (Japan)

might be what your looking for, but it just depends realy what your into!

don't know if this helps

During the last year and a half I have discovered Asian Horror movies, and gladly wached every last one I come across, but, living in a cold desolated conty called Norway, and in a rather insignificant town appr. 100km from the closest, decent video store, the selection is rather limited :(

I have managed to get my hands on the Ringu movies (Withg the exeption of a movie I found on the net once, called Ringu-Virus?), Dark Waters, Ju-On (1+2), The Eye, The Phone, and a couple more (I have forgotten the names :()

What I need is some advice...

What more?
I NEED MORE :)

Anyone willing to help a poos sucker for good horror?
