Last seen ASIAN movie

[jenna26]

I thought it sucked.

How did it end again? I've already forgot.

That's funny you say that, because I saw it three days ago and I have already forgotten....LOL....;) yeah, the last few minutes of it didn't make much of an impact. I did like a lot of the beginning, but at some point it just started to fall apart. But I was in some amount of pain after hurting my neck, so maybe that adversely effected my opinion of the film in general. :D

Were you on drugs as well?




That movie clearly proved that Shimizu, at that time, had an amazing imagination, but as a director still had alot to learn.


"Reincarnation" Showed much better directing, storytelling and that he has improved alot since "marebito". Of course a bigger budget is always helpful, but not without a creative mind. And thank God he still have that.


Yes, Shimizu is my hero director. :cool:

No, I was not on drugs.....avoiding a doctor's visit if I can, and I don't just have painkillers laying around......:D Just hurting, and having a bit of trouble concentrating. Might have been a combination of pain and boredom, not sure....;)

That's why I believe it was worth the one viewing, some of the ideas were very good......and there were some really effective scenes. Just wasn't consistent at all.

Reincarnation is on my Netflix list.....I will move it up, just because of your favorable review....and I will watch it when I am feeling my best.

Clever you...


Have u seen a movie called "Ao no hono-oooooo ho ono hooo" aka "The blue light"?

It's a crime/drama about a boy who wants to get rid of his stepfather.

I watched most of it about a week ago, but fell asleep after an hour or so.

It was quite interesting and pretty good actually. But of course, i didn't catch the ending, so...... :rolleyes:

i enjoyed rebirth and forbidden fruit the most.

[Angra]

Well, actually i've only seen the first one and then Re-birth.

Then i gave up on that franchise...


It's just a stupid "horror" concept that never deserved a sequal in the first place, if u ask me.

Maybe it would've worked better as a drama. I don't know.

Still good, gross and includes one very creepy scene.


I only have 1 big problem with it. Billy Drago.

That dude is one hell of a shitty actor.

Silk (Guisi)

Yes & yes,it's not a "Boo" made you jump sort of a movie,it's more creepy and meloncholic.There are one or two flaws but they are small,very much worth a watch imo.

oxide pangs ab-normal beauty

how was it? rentable?

[DP McCoy]

Suicide Club-

I really was intrigued by much of this movie,it was disturbing and hard hitting satire that features possibly the most shocking opening sequence I think I have ever seen,Ryo Ishibashi was great and for the most part(apart from Rolly)the rest of the cast was pretty good too.The one thing I didn't like was the end,it was far too abrupt.I don't need exposition layed on thick but a smidge more would have been nice.7.5/10

[Angra]

"Dynamite Warrior" 7/10


Dan Chupong sure is a great martial artist, but he's no Tony Jaa. Not quite as fast and talented.

Would love to see those two up against each other in a movie though. That would be sweeeet. :cool:

[Despare]

Knockabout

Biao Yuen is amazing and when he's on screen with Sammo Hung it's really something to see.

Takashi Shimizu's Marebito

...a very strange but lousy kind of story. Though it could be a good-creepy horror flick but it's poor & confusing ending have failed to make it so.
Overall… it’s boring.

I watched Memories of Murder and you were right,it is very good.It was really engaging and quite darkly funny. 8/10

The Red Shoes-

This movie had an impressive visual style to it and the storyline is fairly engaging if a little plodding in places.7/10

[jenna26]

Premonition ~ more sad than scary. It is a bit slow in places, and had some problems plot wise, some things didn't seem to fit (might need to rewatch it). But I think the lead performance was strong, and there were some very effective scenes. Not without its flaws, but I really liked it.

[XtRaVa]

Cool I might be watching that tomorrow. Isnt it part of the horror theatre thing (maybe I'm thinking of preminition), along with a couple of other films (one being Infection, which is worth a watch).

Anyway, last watched Suicide Club.

Kinda wish I hadnt, as nothing is explained in the end as to how/why everything happened. After some research I found out another movie was released (I think in 2006) which was a sequel and helped to explain a lot of the things which arent explained in the first.

Bit stupid though, it seems as though the sequel was made because the first didnt make any sense, rather than a clever marketing scheme to make you watch the second.

It has some cool scenes (and some really bad ones, i.e. the part where it goes a bit rocky horror show) but I wouldnt recommend watching unless you intend to watch the second.

[Despare]

Hard Boiled

One of the best action movies ever... Asian or not.

[Doc Faustus]

Doesn't that have a record for most shots fired in movie history?

[XtRaVa]

Yeah probably. Theres hundreds of deaths and seemingly no reloads. :D

[Despare]

Doesn't that have a record for most shots fired in movie history?

I don't know about shots but it does have the fourth highest body count and the three that had more (Return of the King, then 300, and then Two Towers) were large scale battles/wars.

Yeah probably. Theres hundreds of deaths and seemingly no reloads. :D

The no reloading thing is great because when it's important for a character to run out of bullets they do. Great flick, amazing action...

[DP McCoy]

Antarctic Journal-

This was beautifully filmed,and the performances were first rate however the storyline could have been more focused.It was if they couldn't decide wether to pursue the psychological element or the supernatural element and in the end they do not really explore either,still worth a look.7/10

R point is awesome.
Memories of murder is really really good its more of just a simple cop murder mystery but i really enjoyed it.
visitor q comes with the "im takashi miike, im fucked up" seal of approval.
Koma is awesome but most reviews say its fairly bad
Evil Dead trap is probably one of the few asian slashers i have seen, not bad but nothing great.
Wishing Stairs is like......... lesbian asian drama meets ghost stories, awesome.
Cure i never got to finish, the movie screwed up like 20 minutes before it ended. Pissed me off cause it started out so good.

[Smackytherabbit]

My Latest Watches

Sukob -3/10- Complete crap. I cant believe how bad this was (then again filipino's just cant seem to get good cinema down). It has a good concept, good story, good direction, but the execution of all these just blew.

Alone - 6/10 - Good but nothing great. Made by the folks who brought us Shutter, this movie provides decent scares but nothing new or special in the story. In fact i was fairly disappointed because from the first 20 minutes of the movie i knew how it was going to end. But, the style was good, acting was good, story was okay and the execution was good.

Dead or Alive - 9/10 - It took me forever to watch these movies. I absolutely love Miikes work but i can only handle like, say 1 movie of his a month (if they are in the gozu, audition, visitor q category). This movie was a nice departure from his other flicks and for the entire movie i thought i was safe from a typical Miike mind fuck, but i was wrong. While it was not as bad as his other movies it just totally unexpected and it would be one and a trillion chance that someone would actually be able to predict what happens in the ending the ending.
If you are curious.... *SPOILERS* The last screen in the movie is a show down between the good guy and the bad guy. The good guy is bloody as hell because his car just blew up with him in it. So what happens next? Well the good guy rips his own arm off, throws it away, then reaches behind him and pulls out a rocket launcher and fires at the bad guy, while the bad guy out of no where creates a street fighter 2 "ryu" hadukin and fires it at the good guy, then japan explodes. The End*END SPOILERS* a must see.

Dead or Alive 2 - 10/10 - After seeing the first one i just had to get the second one. I was expecting an actual sequel to the first, but with Miike behind the wheel i should have known that was not going to happen. Same main characters as the first, similar idea, but still totally different with 90% of the movie being Miikes dark humor.
I enjoyed this one more so than the first.

[Despare]

I'd liken Evil Dead Trap to a giallo, great film, and the Dead or Alive movies are a blast. Did you get the box set with all three smacky? I watched Ran again... brilliant movie and one of Kurosawa's best.

[Angra]

"Ghost train" 6-7/10


Pretty good despite all its cliches and lack of explainations. And quite entertaining from beginning to end.

But the friendship theme was excruciating...

[horrorchic]

Just recently I have watched Premonition. It was originally a manga, which was drawn exceptional well. The film brought on a great deal of suspense. This is only one of six films produced by the J-Horror production company, and I think that greaty as a starter film.

I think that is one of the great things about Japanese horror is that they don't pop out at you, they just creep you out with things.

Just watched Battle Rayale 2. Didn't like it much. Too much talking not enough dying. However I did pause just as someones head exploded and that was funny.

[bigcherry]

Must admit the first Battle Royale is a classic in it's own right, i must admit although i haven't seen the second one all reports were it is quite an ordinary
movie, but i cannot judge until i have seen, i have a number of Korean/Japanese/Thai horror movies, and there are some more due soon, Would like to know what some of you people think, it's happened on quite a few occasions, but it's a little annoying, but patience would be better. Bought the new killer Thai horror, the anticipation was enormous the same people that
did Shutter entitled "Alone" check youtube and let me know, it's a gem.
Having bought the dvd the other week, this happens quite often, the English
sub-titles i cannot understand talk about "Broken English" i guess they rush release these dvd's to suit their own people, then eventually re-release a version with perfect English. There are 2 more due soon Korean horror too
these ones i am screaming for both can be viewed on youtube. "Black House"
and "Muoi" Legend Of a Portrait", look forward to feedback

Zombie Self Defence Force - Low budget Japanese zombie flick with aliens and a cyborg thrown in! :confused: Pretty terrible really but it does feature a Hairstylist zombie biting chunk out of a girl while simultaneously attempting to comb the girls hair !! 6/10 :rolleyes:

Watched The Eye the other night...
Was ok...about 6/10
Only bought it as I've had They Eye 2 in my collection for about 2 years.

The Cut - An enjoyable Korean murder mystery/ghost story. 7/10

What did you think?

[DP McCoy]

Heaven's Soldiers - A curious movie,North and South Korean soldiers find themselves transported back in time to the 16th century with a nuclear warhead and find themselves in the path of a rampaging barbarian horde!:confused: The movie moves from serious political matters,acts of cruelty and all out comedy and then back again.I'm sure many people will hate this film,me?I found it somehow very enjoyable ! 7/10

[DP McCoy]

Black House - A very well made Korean suspense thriller.Genuine chills,great performances and a very dark plot,one of the best I have seen recently.9/10

[bigcherry]

could not agree with your more "Black House" an amazing movie with the last half pretty violent, almost made the Texas Chainsaw Massacre quite tame, one of the best

The Victim

I thought The Victim started really well but went completely off the rails when they twisted the storyline about halfway through.Anyway last seen ...

Casshern - Visually impressive but I found the rest a little disjointed. 6/10

Sinking of Japan - Pretty decent disaster movie, 7/10

[DP McCoy]

To Sir,With Love - Despite some flaws I quite enjoyed this Korean slasher. 7/10

[DP McCoy]

Diary - The climax of this film was good but the rest was painfully boring.The biggest problem for me was that the movie was so predictable,within the first few minutes you know where the story is heading.With a more subtle approach this could have been so much better but in the end I found it pretty disappointing. 4/10

[Janna122003]

The Victim

>>: C+


Wow. Nice shot. I think I want to watch it.

[DP McCoy]

Someone Behind You - The premise of this Korean flick was quite different and interesting.The film had a strong first half that promised much,but ultimately didn't deliver due to a slightly clumsy conclusion.Still pretty solid though and it gets an extra point for originality.7/10

[ChronoGrl]

Reincarnation

From the director of Ju-On, Reincarnation (http://www.horrorfestonline.com/archive/2006/film5.html) was one of the films of After Dark's 8 Films to Die For 2006. At first it was slow-moving (though I find that this is a problem that I have with many Asian horror films), but as soon as the action picks up, the payoff is definitely worth the wait.

Taking place mostly in a hotel that was the scene of a previous spree of brutal murders, this film definitely has the feeling of The Shining at times. The "ghosts" are definitely in your face, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The suspense is fantastic, and there's a twist that I actually didn't anticipate. The end is macabre, creepy, and fantastic.

I give it 4 stars out of 5. A -

[erikrhys]

i watched Oldboy for the first time yesterday. Must say i was quite impressed, it wasnt EXACTALLY like the manga, but im not complaining. I'd give the movie an 8/10, due to the fact that the ending was debatable.

[Angra]

"Dragon tiger gate" 6/10


Started out very well and promising with very talentet actors/fighters, great choreography and shots, but then they started using a shit lot of wires and cgi effects and the movie ended up being as lame as its title... Too bad.

[roshiq]

Dark Tales of Japan

5 stories....

1. Spider Woman: Quite lame and funny.

2. Crevices: 2nd best of the tales. Little bit short but enjoyable. The red tapes reminds like another version of "Pulse".

3. The Sacrifice: Disappointing. I didn't like it.

4. Blonde Kwaidan: Worst one of the tales! The plot made no sense at all. It has been 2nd time that I get very disappointed with Takashi Shimizu after Marebito.

5. Presentiment: Best one. Perfect for TV audiences. Quite simple story that executed quite well.

Overall, a decent collection of J-horror stories and better than some overrated long length features.

I think it was here (or somewhere)---where I heard mention of Naked Blood.
Read a little synopsis of it and actually found it.
Sooo I watched it yesterday and the only complain I have was the dry heaving I went thru after a certain scene ...(and the laughing that followed afterwards)
Really really liked it ...thought it would be just all self cannibalism but it had a real good plot to it.
The latex and all the effects were purty gnarly.

Eeeerrr...... Dude girl... Have u noticed the commercial sticker on the top of this forum just now? It's close to looking like porn.

I think you're to blame..

Did I break the forum?Pornify the thread?
Did ya call me a "dude girl"?

Yea... Don't take it personal. I call everybody dude now and then.

You havent noticed the commercials right under the "News", Reviews & Articles", "Forum", Database", "Multimedia" and "Directory" buttons?

I don't think i've ever seen a erotic commercial in here untill just now. Normally it's all about horror. And I thought to myself, "Iggy has just registrered and suddenly We've got porn on the side". Coincidence? I think not. :rolleyes:

Hmmm... me wearing your pink tights.... sounds tempting....

Tho it would be nice to feel like a woman again, i have to pass as i don't think the color will go along well with my Brown/red'ish hair color. Besides, i don't like when the customers stares..

More of a thriller but still pretty gory, violent while still maintaining a good story.

I'm watching the first season of Hellgirl right now. This one started out great, got a little boring and repetitive, but seems to be picking up steam with a real plot now. Could be a great series as time goes on and really worth watching for any horror fan.

i liked it - it was more sci-fi than horror really - sort of a Korean Blade Runner.

it had the potential to be really good....but as I've said..the dialogue makes them all sound like buffoons. IMO

it wasn't the dubbing because I watched the sub-titled version

I agree with you,the main gripe with me was the amount of times the soldiers screamed "Asshole" at each other.If you played a drinking game where everyone had to down a shot everytime someone said "Asshole" during R-Point no one would survive past about 45 minutes,and if anybody did survive that far they would most likely be blind anyway and have a problem reading the subtitles! It's still enjoyable though:)

R-Point.

i have to admit - i totally get where Newb is coming from on this one.
some things don't translate well cross culturally.

i liked the film overall - how it was shot - most of the acting - the idea behind it ..

but the actual ghost possession thing was kind of goofy.

(no goofier than The Evil Dead i suppose - but that was played for laughs)

i got the feeling that you were expected to take R-Point more seriously
