Okay, lets just say that i´m looking for new scary Asian horror movies.

I didn´t find "Phone" to be specially good. The last 5-10 minutes were pretty ok.

Was "Into the mirror" better or worse than "Phone", you think?

[ichi the killer]

Not really horror, check out OLDBOY it fucking rocks, R-POINT ain t bad either.

...hmmm it was less scary than "The Phone" but better made with higher budget....much more modern look.....
...i could also recomend "Tell Me Something" a south korean serial killer movie....

Cool. Thanks for the tip. Both sounds interesting.

By the way, have you seen that an american version of "Oldboy" has a 2006 release date. ;)

Im not into serial killer movies. Don´t find them scary, just cruel.

But "into the mirror" sounds okay. SOLD!!! ;)

Thanks!! :)

Dont you like "Seven" either ?..one of the best films of the 90's.....:confused:

Well... I thought it was okay, nothing more. Besides, i wouldn´t call "Seven" a horror movie... Maybe that´s becauce, when i think of a horror movie with a serial killer, it´s always shown from the killers point of view and not the cops. When it´s shown through the cops eyes i find it to be a "thriller" or just a plain "action" movie. But that´s just my opinion.... ;)

[ichi the killer]

If their making a remake of OLDBOY that will be interesting. I hated remake of Ringu & ain t seen remake of Grudge yet.

[evil_blonde]

I don't think this is the kind of movie you were meaning (it's manga) but "Perfect Blue" is quite a good thriller/horror type movie, IMO at least.

Hmmm..... It´s sound pretty cool. Just too bad it´s a cartoon movie. :rolleyes:

Less horror and more suspense, I'd say "Battle Royale" is definetely worth checking out. It's more action, but the execution of the premise is so twisted and so creepy to imagine being real, that there is a certain 'terror' tinge to it.

Less HORROR??? :confused:

I think you´re in the wrong place, honey. ;) :D


I´ve seen "Battle Royale". Thought it was very far out, but entertaining.
Okay asian movie, but i prefere the horror genre.


If you like more suspence than horror then watch "Saw". It´s nothing but.


Peace

Check out two films by Shozin Fukui that just got released by Unearthed Films: Pinnochio 964 and Rubber's Lover. Pure insanity commited to celluloid. Both of these films manage to out weird Tetsuo, if you can believe that.

I did enjoy Phone, by the way. And the previous film Nightmare.

Thanks Mrshape.

Hmmmm.... I would rather watch "Tetsuo". That one sounds like the most horrific of those 3 mentioned. Is it good?

[elias]

Some of my favorites are "Audition", "Tetsuo", "The Isle", "Tokyo Fist", "Versus", and "Suicide Club". All definitely worth checking out imho, though Isle isn't Japanes but rather Korean;)

You noticed that i was asking for HORROR movies, right?

Except for "Audition" & "Tetsuo", the titles sounds more like Drama/action movies than creepy horror movies.. :(


Im gonna have to check "Versus" out though. Could be entertaining.


Thanks! :cool:

[Angra]

Bump!:D

Shutter ....imo very good. as I said in another jap thread, this film follows the other styles of jap horrors, but imo is better than most of the recent ones and on par with the ju-on series.

Face .....btw I've just received Face, so not watched it yet, but got it based on a couple of good reviews.

Yeah, but it's way out there. A lot of people compare it to David Lynch's Eraserhead. It's very hard to describe, but it involves people turning into metal.

you don't have to be a tcm fan...nothing like it.

basic story - elderly woman and a mute female go to stay with relatives (including a disabled son) but are they who they say they are?

Yeah i read that on IMDB. But it sounds much more gross than scary...?:(

just watched it earlier, it's ok, if you like scares I wouldn't get your hopes up. Its a mixture of the typical creepy girl with long hair and a killer guy. I'd rent it not buy it.

[newb]

Watched "Phone" last night.It was aight,def worth a rent...although the little girl in it was great.One of the creepiest kid performances I've seen.

if it's not little girls.....it's women with long wet hair......these asian films begin to seem alike after awhile

Very true....it was scary after the first 3 or 4 times but enough is enough. I guess its much like Hollywood...they find something that sells and its OVERKILL time.

I'm still waiting for "Shutter" in the mail.I'm hoping it comes sans creepy kid & long black hair.

they certainly seem to have the same elements ...
but they manage to use them with great effect (except Phone, which i didnt like at all .. again with the hair in the drain ?)

I think the japanese ghost film is so much like the italian giallo films its crazy ... only the japanese being supernatural where the italians - its a slasher ..

they are both presented as mysteries .. it has to be solved before there is closure.
It's always traced back to somethingt the lead character - potential victim was involved in ..

the japanese substituted shocks for the italian gore but they still follow a lot of the same 'rules'

Isn´t that a zombie movie?

Is it good or is it like the title?;)

It sounds pretty generic lol, but it might be good. Might want to make it a new thread.

Why, thank you ever so kindly Hate_Breeder.:)

*Struggling to keep from tap-dancing in joy again*



About "A chinese ghost tale" i read on IMDB that it shoukd be a blend of martial arts and horror.... Yeah right. I´ll bet it´ll be just the first... But what the fuck, it sounded interesting. Should be visually beautiful. So i´m hoping for some kind of positive result.

Maybe they´ve even translated it in some kind of readable english. I have my fingers crossed.:rolleyes:




Now about "Junk". WATCH IT GOD DAMMIT!!!:D

Its like those american slasher movies of the 80's........but when they stop producing them you miss them :cool:

[Angra]

"A chinese ghost story"


Damn, what a stupid movie.

The acting was theatrical and bad. The horror was nonexisting. The martial art scenes were sword fighting scenes (No fists or kicks). Oh, and of course the fighters could jump 50 feets in the air. God, i hate that. The effects were fairly good at times but mostly pretty lousy, like the skelletons. And the story was just plain crappy.

Somewhere i´ve read that it should be visually beautiful. Well, you could easily see that it wasn´t a B-movie, but when i think visually beautiful i think "Hero" and it didn´t reach that one to its shoelaces.

WHO THE FUCK RECOMMENDED THIS STINKER? Grrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Just recieved two Asian movies in the mail today.

1. "Ong-bak" actually a martial art movie, that Cheeba told me about. Should have some nice fighting scenes and the worst translated subtitle ever. LOL :p


2. "R-Point" I´m really looking forward to this horror/war movie...:)
