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! |

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. |
