I really need to check it out. Miike is one of my absolute favorite directors.

...

Last night I watched Saam Gaang, Three Extremes II and I thought it was pretty good...

"Memories," Ji-woon Kim - It's interesting to see what came before Tale of Two Sisters, though I thought that "Memories" was the weaker of the three and was just a derivation of the ghost story. The direction was solid and the atmosphere was successful. It was definitely a good way to begin the film. B

"Wheel," Nonzee Nimibutr - I haven't watched a lot of Thai cinema, but I thought that this film had a traditional feel to it and it kept me interested and captivated the entire time. B/B+

"Gong Home," Peter Chan - Definitely my favorite of the three short films, I thought that atmospherically it was brilliant and the concept was fantastic. The ending was great and I honestly did not foresee the twist, which is pretty impressive to me. There was an element to the story that was a bit of a non-sequitor and I thought was unnecessary, but I forgave it. B+/A-

Yah... Three Extremes II actually came out before Three Extremes, but because of the success of Three Extremes it was renamed and rereleased as Three Extremes II. There's no other relation between the two... Just three more horror short films.

Tokyo 10 + 1 - Apparently this is supposed to be some kind of Battle Royale spoof .... it's rubbish,I would have expected much more from the director of Uzumaki.The best thing about this movie is the running time which at 70 minutes is mercifully short. 3/10

Guard Post G.P.506 - I was really looking forward to this,however I was a little disappointed.The pace of the film was way too slow,especially in the middle section where the movie almost came to a complete standstill.I can enjoy a slow burning plot but in this case it just made the film feel about half an hour too long.6/10

'Shutter.' I saw the Thai version and the one Masayuki Ochiail directed...I dug them both. In fact, the DVD for the Masayuki version drops this week. I was checking out their website, they've got some cool features--articles on revenge in horror movies, some other 'top ten moments' type of articles--and this fun thing where you can upload photos to their site, add a 'ghost' the photo so it looks like spirit photography, and they end up using the photos in their advertising. I saw my photo on one of the other horror forums, it was kind of cool. Anyhoo.

I. Have. FINALLY. Seen. Oldboy.

My GOD was that a phenomenal film. It was beautiful, tragic, epic, violent, horrific... I was honestly impressed. Chan-wook Park is an amazing director (the only other piece of his that I've seen is "Cut" from Three... Extremes) and he crafted a truly tortured and tragic journey that has a nice spice of the absurd. I am now adding Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance to my Netflix queue.

The only criticism that I had of this movie was that it could have ended a little earlier than it did, though the final scene is wonderfully macabre, so I have a hard tome truly committing to this criticism.

A/A+

"Blackbelt" 6-10

[stenchofdeath]

I last saw Re-cycle. I'll give it 8/10. If anything just for the atmosphere that the film was trying to create. By this i mean pounding drums, matrix like effects and a great story. I really enjoy Japanese horror, because of it's obvious difference to other types. There seems to be a focus on karma mixed with spiritual/ religious belief through these films. This film was no different, a woman writing a novel, who notices that her life and events are being put into motion due to what she is writing and ultimately the pages that she is discarding. I don't want to say anymore, other than if you enjoy Japanese horror then give this a look. The downside was that the subtitles seemed to be very small. Also the english word translations were broken at times. I look forward to the next movie that the "Pang brothers" release. They also directed the original version of The eye.

[ChronoGrl]

I just saw Re-Cycle (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0498311/) (you taking advantage of Sundance On Demand this month too, stenchofdeath? :)).

First, I'd like to say that I am incredibly unimpressed with so far with what I've seen of Hong Kong Horror (the Pang Brothers are from Hong Kong, stenchofdeath, not from Japan). While The Eye, for example, is fairly iconic amongst Asian Horror fans, I found it lengthy and disappointing (though conceptually brilliant).

As for Re-Cycle. This movie can be summed up in one word: Turgid.

Overwrought, over-directed, over-produced... Far too much soundtrack, far too much insipid story line...

Like The Eye, the concept was brilliant. And the myriad of nightmarish visuals that take over the middle of the film are beautiful, macabre, interesting, and compelling... I felt as though I was at times wandering through Neil Gaiman's nightmares, or traveling through a live action version of Paprika... As soon as she steps off the elevator and begins her journey, I was captivated... But soon my attention was lost in what turned into a sappy contrived resolution. I think that this would have made an AMAZING 45-minute short of just her journey into The Abandoned. The boring and contrived background story coupled with the cheesy Disney-clad resolution at the end of her travels (What Dreams May Come, anyone?) made me just... angry.

I give this movie a C/C+, giving it extra credit for the stunning visuals. If the Pang Brothers had a better editor, this could have been a much, much better film... But, ultimately, I was just annoyed.

[ChronoGrl]

So the other night the boyfriend and I attempted to watch Ghost of Mae Nek (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436359/), an insipidly derivative Thai ghost story. I was interested in the representation of the ghost (a black mouth-like oval was placed in the center of the apparition's forehead, which I found pretty interesting). Unfortunately that wasn't enough to keep our attention. The story was fairly insipid, so we turned it off. Meh.

...

Tonight, however, we watched The Red Shoes (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468683/), a delightful little Korean chiller. I thought that the direction was clean, atmosphere was sufficiently eerie and suspenseful, and overall this was a fantastic little find. I thought that the scares were good, though, ultimately the movie went a bit long and its final ending was a bit contrived.

Overall, however, I would watch it again and definitely recommend it. B+/A-

Memories of Murder (2003)

Based on true events that took place in Korea from 1986 to 1991, Memories of Murder is not a typical serial killer movie..it's more than that. Instead of focusing on the murder scenes and shocking images like most conventional serial killer films, the movie puts much more time and details into the story, the situation of the time the incidents took place.
At the very beginning it was said that the case still remain unsolved but I almost started to forget this fact as the story runs with a great flow. The frustration of witnessing the many problems the investigators were facing and the very high tension during the murder scenes kept me hooked all along. Director Bong Joon-Ho beautifully portrayed every aspect of the film. Intense humor, brilliant cinematography, excellent character developments with the incredible casts delivered in a remarkable way.

Surely I'll always recall this movie in my all time favorite list.

I was a little disappointed in this one. I thought that the visual effects were absolutely stunning and they obviously had a budget, but overall I thought that it lacked a little substance (and some of it wasn't very well thought-out and a little nonsensical). Overall I wound up being bored.

I could have given it a bit more of a chance, though. I admit it.

...

We watched Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0310775/) the other night.

And. WOW.

In some ways, Mr. Vengeance is a stronger film holistically than Oldboy was. I thought that the tone was consistent and I was completely riveted the entire time. Chan-wook Park is quickly becoming one of my absolute favorite directors of all time. I thought that Sympathy for Mr Vengeance was beautiful, tragic, and truly emotional. And, honestly, there was a moment where I shed a tear - And I don't really do that. If you're looking for atmosphere, emotion, clean direction, and a compelling set of characters - This is a perfect movie. His study of vengeance and motivation was intelligent and breath-taking. This movie might just be in one of my top 10 of all time.

100% agree with you!:)

After seeing the Vengeance trilogy I have also become a big fan of Chan-Wook Park. Amongst them I love the Mr. Vengeance most, then Oldboy & Lady Vengeance. Though Oldboy was the most shocking film I've ever seen and Park delivered it in a magnificent way but the moral dilemma of the Mr. Vengeance touched me more deeply and I truly admire this film with my any other all time favorites in the world cinema. But besides this Vengeance trilogy I haven't seen Park's any other film. So I'm eagerly waiting to have more fascinating experience with his arts of films.

Btw, have you seen Joon-Ho Bong's Memories of Murder? I have seen it recently and I just only like to tell you now that besides Mr. Vengeance this was another brilliant Korean movies I have seen so far. If you haven't seen it yet, then I'm highly recommending you to please experience this masterpiece asap. I'm sure you'll love this one too.

And "Dog Bites Dog" if you haven't seen that already.

I loved Oldboy too... I actually have a hard time comparing the two because it's clear that Chan-Wook-Park was trying to experiment with different kinds of vengeance and different versions of human disintegration. In a way, Mr. Vengeance reminds me a LOT of the classic Italian film The Bicycle Thief (http://www.netflix.com/Movie/The_Bicycle_Thief/11519642?trkid=222336&lnkctr=srchrd-sr&strkid=1964471575_0_0). Have you seen that one? Not quite as dark, but still incredible.

I'll have to check out "A Bittersweet Life." I thought that Tale of Two Sisters was great, though ran a little long... Though of COURSE Netflix doesn't have it. :( I'll have to find it somewhere else. Hmph.

Haven't seen Dog Bit Dog. Just added it to the queue. Just tried to look for Rattle Rattle, which you liked too, bout couldn't find it - Does it go by any other name?

We watched The Maid (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0474791/) the other night.

For the most part, I was fascinated. The plot revolves around a girl from the Philippines who travels to Singapore to live with and be the Maid of a Chinese family. It just so happens that it's July which, in China is "Hungry Ghost Month," the month where the Gates of Hell open and the Dead walk the earth.

The brief description sounds really silly, but it's not; I was fascinated about the depiction of Chinese belief and ceremony (the burning of paper money and prayers to appease the Dead as well as putting on Opera and reserving the front row "for the Ghosts"). The cultural aspect was truly interesting and I thought that the feeling of alienation was captured quite well.

As a ghost story/horror movie, there are definitely some creepy moments, but it turns a little Sixth-Sense-ish by the end of it.

I give it a B.

I really enjoyed Rattle Rattle it was very effective piece,although I thought they overdid the ghost effects towards the end.Out of the three stories I think Steel edges to the front for me,it is wonderfully weird!The Inheritance I found to be fairly dull,it was underpinned by a thoughtful story but it was not engaging enough imo.

Really.

I need to see the other 2 stories some day then.

And yes "rattle rattle" had a tendency to be almost laughable at times with the ghost keep showing up every other minute. But that was also what made it so damn entertaining. And the ending... didn't really make a lot of sense.

But what the fuck, it had a cool looking Ghost. what more do you really need. :)

And yes "rattle rattle" had a tendency to be almost laughable at times with the ghost keep showing up every other minute. But that was also what made it so damn entertaining. And the ending... didn't really make a lot of sense.

But what the fuck, it had a cool looking Ghost. what more do you really need. :)

Really.

Born to Fight

Tony Jaa doesn't have anything to worry about but this was still a good action flick. No deep plot or anything, just a lot of mindless (almost video-game like in parts) action. Loved the burning 2x4 fight.

Hell yes.

I would love to see the lead dude in af fight against Jaa. Would make me drool of pleasure overload. :D

And when you say video-game i'll bet you're referring to the long 1 take scene where the lead dude is running around firing a shot-gun, right? ;)

Yep, and when he's walkin' around with the SMG. Shoots a guy, a door pops open to reveal a baddie and he shoots, walks around the corner and has to duck back because he gets shot at...


This is my second Dan Chupong movie (the first being Dynamite Warrior) and I'm starting to warm up to him. I would like to see him work with Jaa for sure.

One helluva action movie.
Some of the action is just far out and plain silly, like some of the sports characters. No chance in hell they would ever last 2 minutes in a war zone like that without playing dead. But what the fuck, it's just a movie.

[scaryladi232]

Jiu ming also know as koma very interesting hitchcock like film with the suspense i recomend you all watch it.

[bloodwavedvd]

Whispering Corridors. I little slow and relatively bloodless but still pretty good.

[ChronoGrl]

Tokyo Gore Police (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1183732/) As I mentioned in the thread I started, fantastic splatterpunk. I highly recommend. A/A+

Kamikaze Girls (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0416220/) - Beautifully stylized character journey/chick adventure piece. Gorgeous and interesting with some pretty amazing costumes. Absolutely adorable overall, though it slowed down some in the middle and its latter half. B+

[ChronoGrl]

I have FINALLY completed the vengeance trilogy by watching Lady Vengeance (http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Lady_Vengeance/70042670?trkid=226870) last night.

Every movie that I watch by him just punctuates the fact that Chan-wook Park is a cinematic God.

I thought that Lady Vengeance was brilliant - He has an absolute knack for creating truly tragic characters. What was interesting about this installment in the Trilogy is that the character Geum-ja Lee is just as much an instrument/medium for Vengeance as a vengeance-driven individual. I think that Chan-wook Park took an even different look at vengeance and evolved the concept to a new level.

In terms of ranking the movies, I'm having a difficult time doing so; Part of me looks at Mr. Vengeance as being my favorite of the three, though Old Boy is so beautifully tortured and disturbing I can't count it out. As to where Lady Vengeance fits, I would say that its theme is more similar to Mr. Vengeance than Old Boy, but I'm not sure if I'd necessarily rank it higher.

Regardless, Chan-wook Park is one of my absolute favorite directors and Lady Vengeance gets an A+.

Have you guys seen Chan-wook Park's other movies? Any recommendations? The only other one I've seen is "Cut," his installment of Three... Extremes.

[The_Return]

I've got to watch the rest of the Vengeance trilogy...I own all three, but for some reason I've only watched Oldboy (which is easily one of my favourite Asian movies).

[Blackheart]

I think the last one I saw was Machine Girl a couple months ago.Should watch a few more soon.

[Painfulldeath]

Finally saw Ringu. It's slightly better than the remake though the scare factor goes away since I saw the American film 5 years ago:mad:

[ChronoGrl]

...

What?

[Painfulldeath]

...

What?

Whoops. What I meant to say is that I saw the remake 5 years ago. Basically the original is a better movie even though you're not scared anymore once you know the plot. Hey, I see you watched lady Vengeance lately. I saw Oldboy last night and I'm still in shock of how amazing it was...How's Mr. Vengeance?

[roshiq]

...How's Mr. Vengeance?

Best from the trilogy.

[ChronoGrl]

Best from the trilogy.

Agreed.

Though Oldboy and Lady Vengeance are stunning pieces of art in their own right. If you enjoyed Oldboy, then you HAVE to watch the other two. Park is simply brilliant.

Oldboy is my boyfriend's favorite, though.

[Painfulldeath]

Really? Sounds like I'll be watching it tonight. I figured I'll start with the first and finish off with Lady Vengeance. Thanks for the feedback guys.:)

[jenna26]

Oldboy is my boyfriend's favorite, though.

I prefer Oldboy as well, one of my favorite films. But I think now that Mr. Vengeance is every bit as good, I was just so taken with Oldboy (and I did see it first) that it was hard for it to top that one.

Now Lady Vengeance is by far the weaker film of the three in my opinion....but still very good.

[Painfulldeath]

So I saw Mr. Vengeance. It was excellent though I was expecting a faster pace, sort of like Oldboy. But I guess Oldboy was inspired by a Manga where as this one must be Park's original screenplay. I heard that "Joint Security Area" is also a great movie. Anyone else seen it?

It's on my Netflix queue. I should move it up. I need a Park fix.

I agree with you about Mr. Vengeance... I thought it was slow at first but I was absolutely intrigued and glued to the scene... And it escalates so horrifyingly beautifully...

You should complete the triad with Lady Vengeance when you get a chance. I think that it might actually be just as good as Mr. Vengeance.

Ok. I'll let you know when I do. I can't seem to get that Oldboy Soundtrack out of my head. Especially the song that's playing during the fighting sequences. I think I'm obsessed with that movie. Help! :eek:

[Painfulldeath]

Last Asian movie I saw was Visitor Q. Very weird but funny too. I recommend it to anyone who is open to seeing strange and disturbing things.:D

[Ometiklan]

Matango. aka. Attack of the Mushroom People.
This one is in My opinion Toho's creepiest film.

You are having the same reaction I had. I never heard of Oldboy till this forum and when I finally watched it-I thought about it for months. Scenes still pop up unbiden to this day.
I see people with longish black hair of asian descent and want to follow them:eek:
oops TMI-forget the last sentence, I mean- I don't.. actually follow them..or anything........really.

Hooray! Someone else that has the same obsession as me. The movie is just that damn good. Lord knows if I saw someone look like Dae Su, I would probably stalk him for a few weeks...just to spice up my seemingly dull life.;) I still can't get that fricking song out of my head and it's been almost a week now. Maybe I should get the ringtone...:D

I watched Joint Security Area directed by Chan Wook-Park. It's a very good military movie with a lot of the same cast from the Vengeance Trilogy. Check it out.

That's a really cool movie, have you seen " I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK " yet? I've been waiting to see that one for ages it seems. His new vampire movie Thirst seems pretty cool, I think it's funny that another name for it is listed as Evil Live and in his Cut segment on 3 Extremes they were making a vampire movie called Live Evil haha.

[jenna26]

Lol. No but I am planning on watching it sometime soon. I still haven't watched The 3 extremes yet either ..I heard that it's pretty disturbing.

[jenna26]

Phone ~ predictable, but well made and manages to be plenty creepy, mostly thanks to the little girl, she was really good in her role. Definitely the standout in my opinion.

[Papillon Noir]

Death Note

The first of a two part live action movie based on the anime of the same name. Really good, though it ends with a cliffhanger. I'm planning on doing a full review of this later this week.

[Painfulldeath]

The Host: Pretty good though I watched the English dubbed version; which may have taken a lot out of the quality of the movie. Nevertheless I would give it 7/10.

[jenna26]

The Doll Master ~ I enjoyed it a heck of lot more than I expected to, love the dolls.

[neverending]

Zebraman.

Everyone- go watch this NOW. This movie just BLEW ME AWAY.

A boy in a wheelchair, a mild mannered schoolteacher who imagines himself a superhero, alien green blobs invading the Earth, government conspiracies..,. all melded into one cockeyed plot that straddles genres with perfect finesse. Manages to be domestic drama, sci fi, horror, satire- and it all WORKS.

Inspirational, heartwarming, hip cool, and hilarious all at the same time. Honestly, I haven't been so impressed with a movie in a long long time.

Manages to get some hilarious barbs in against the ghost woman with long hair, buildings sealed with red tape and Ultraman type superheros. So many deft small touches of humor and even some symbolism and political comment. And to top it all off, it's Miike.

I just can't rave enough about this movie.

OMG

[roshiq]

The Doll Master ~ I enjoyed it a heck of lot more than I expected to, love the dolls.

Nope.
My netflix rating system says I won't enjoy this film, so I have to pass.
:D
It's queued, thanks for the recommendation.
I've bypassed this movie for awhile, thinking it was like Mystery Men for some reason:confused:

[jenna26]

Good scene. I thought it was a little uneven thoughout, and yes, the ending was a little weak. But I wasn't expecting that much going in, so I was pleasantly surprised.

And neverending I will definitely be checking Zebraman out very soon.

Anyway, just watched Black House a little while ago and I loved it....until the end, which again was a little weak. Oh and the police were absolutely useless which always frustrates me in films like these. But otherwise, a solid, and very dark, mystery thriller.

[jenna26]

Carved ~ I had high hopes for this one, but was disappointed. I loved the look of the slit-mouthed woman, and the instances of child abuse through the film were very disturbing to me....but I didn't like the ending at all, and didn't really get the actions of some of the characters. Overall, just an okay watch.

[swiftdeath]

Infection

Found it for only five bucks and it's still one of my favorite movies. I heard a rumor that this may become an American movie soon, which I don't think will be very great at all....

[Painfulldeath]

Last watched The Three Extremes. Dumplings and Box were decent but nothing outstanding IMO... Cut was fricking awesome! Park delivered the goods yet again in this short story. I'm sure if anyone watches it, there will be at least one of the three stories that you will enjoy.

Cut was so good, a great short story and perfectly executed. Miike was brilliantly low-key (his was the least gory, whodda thunk) with Box and the narrative was spot on. Dumplings was a fun, sick and disgusting ride which to be honest, the more I think about it the more I like the short version better than the full length film.

No I haven't watched the first one but I'll probably give it a shot one of these days. Maybe I'll check out the One Missed Calls too. I hated the American Version which is the only one I saw. Don't waste your time on that one.

And Despair, I don't understand the love for Box. Maybe I should check it out again. I may have missed something...

I thought, of the three shorts, Box was my favorite. I thought that Miike really did well in slowly building up atmosphere (as he generally does) and the surrounding mystery around the twins. I would say that my only problem with it was the very end of it, but I'm willing to forgive it. Of the three, this was the one that actually creeped me out.

Cut was absolute brilliance and again Park shines.

Dumplings was good - I think that it's really the epitome of Chinese and Hong Kong horror - It was really interesting to watch, though slow at times.

...

As for me, I finally got around to watching Ricky-Oh: Story of Ricky. An absolutely brilliant piece of Japanese Schlock, Ricky-Oh is a pure kung fu splatter-fest. Exploding heads, fists going through bodies... What more can you ask for? A-/A

[novakru]

The only way to watch American version and Asian version: is to not compare them at all.IMHO
Watch them on there own merit.

I saw The Grudge never knowing there was anything Asian it was copied from, never watched much Asian horror ...until I got here:)
But I have since watched almost everything recommended and also watched some of the American versions and came to the conclusion that I cannot put these movies in the same catagory.
I like some of the Amer. remakes very much but if I were to compare it to the quality of the original-I would HATE IT.
Know what I mean?

Miike's style is definitely an acquired taste. I'm still in the phase of finding his stuff on the bizarre tip. I loved Audition, and liked Ichi and Visitor Q. I still need to watch Gozu (I have it lying around somewhere).

Oh and I finished off the Vengeance Trilogy by watching Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. It was solid. The story, cinematography and acting were top-notch. I do think that it was the weakest of the three films however. You know, Mr. Vengeance stands out for its brutality, Oldboy for its action, high-end production and crazy twist. I'm not sure what really sets this one apart from the rest though...

[Painfulldeath]

Kairo. I thought it was pure cow dung. So many questions about the movie because of poor execution of the story....yet I don't care to have them answered. 4/10

[Dude Guadalupe]

One Missed Call Final. It wasn't as good as the first two but it was good enough.

[Painfulldeath]

Grave of the Fireflies: A great Manga. It really depicts the hardships the Japanese faced during WWII. Extremely sad and profound story. 8.5/10.

Ricky-Oh: The Story of Ricky: Hilarious! The horrible dubbing and over the top gore was enough to make me laugh throughout the movie. Definitely an entertaining and different viewing experience. 8/10.

Oh, boo. I was looking forward to seeing this one. Pulse was actually one of the few remakes that actually impressed me (it wasn't amazing, but I had absolutely no expectations, so it was easy to exceed) and I was pretty psyched to see the original. Too bad about the bad rating.

Glad that you liked Lady Vengeance! I thought that the end climax... Was just... absolutely incredible... Have you watched Joint Security Area yet? I have it at home from Netflix, but haven't watched it yet. heh.

I was really impressed with that film. It was a fun little romp. Not to mention, it was really neat to see Miike to a kid's film. The only problem that I had with the movie (and I realize that this is SO not the fault of the movie) is that I honestly wish that i personally had more of a Japanese cultural context because I spent a lot of the movie intrigued about the Yokai forms and wanting to know the stories and legends behind them. I would have loved to experience the film with that context - I think that I would have appreciated it even more. :D

Hey welcome back! It gets kind of lonely in this section sometimes :( . Don't let me be the one to turn you off Kairo... It's the type of film that you will either love or hate and it just wasn't for me. I liked the American Version better (I think that's a first). Definitely check it out for yourself if you still want to.

And I did see JSA. I wrote it on one of my previous posts. It's a really deep, intelligent, political movie. A lot of the actors in The Vengeance Series are in this one too.Just don't expect anything like The Trilogy and I guarantee you'll enjoy it.

Last seen movie: The Ebola Syndrome: I was expecting it to be plain disgusting...which it was. It was also funny as hell! The right amount of cheese and some of the funniest subs ever. I kept chuckling constantly all throughout. 7.5/10.

Evil Dead Trap : Not your typical J-Horror flick. It had plenty of gore, deaths, traps...even some alien suff going on. I enjoyed the first hour of the movie but then it kind of dragged on. The story totally takes a turn for the worse and by the end you're just wondering "what am I looking at right now?" I wonder if James Wan was inspired by this movie because there's a couple of similarities with this and the Saw Franchise. Overall I give it a 6/10.

Tokyo Zombie - Kinda entertaining and likebly daft. 6/10

when i saw it it felt like it was influenced heavily by Italian supernatural films to me ... right down the reveal/explaination

[jenna26]

I second that recommendation, great film.

And to also throw in my opinion, I think its a very good film (I personally thought it dragged just a bit at times, but its very creepy and atmospheric). You have to watch it ChronoGrl, you might not like it of course, but its one that is kind of a must see in my opinion.

You mean Evil Dead Trap or Saw?

Last seen Movie: Men Behind The Sun: Messed up movie. The gore is definitely cranked up in this bad-boy. Just the fact that this is based on true events made me queasy even more than normally. I can stand the normal mutilation in horror movies, but anything to do with experiments and surgeries...blech! Regardless, I was entertained and I got a history lesson at the same time of getting grossed out. 6.5/10

I'm going to guess and think he meant Evil Dead Trap, but only because I felt the same way. EDT may be the closest thing I've seen to an Asian Giallo (with a few runners ups).

Thanks, Guys.

It's in the Netflix queue. Guess I'll just have to bump it up. :D

I was honestly impressed with the remake - Have you guys seen it?

Yesterday I watched Ekusute (Exte: Hair Extensions) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0904049/)

It's hard to give an impartial review because a) I was fighting the first wave of this death flu, b) I had to get up ever 45 minutes to change laundry, and c) I had to turn it off during the climax because I had a party to run to.

I REALLY shouldn't put in movies when I simply don't have the time to enjoy them.

But anyway.

It wasn't bad. It had some pretty stunningly gruesome visuals and I can definitely appreciate the esoteric and self conscious nod toward the growing archetype of the Onryō as well as the obvious dig to feminine vanity and the obsession with hair. It also rated well on the disgusting gross-out scale with, oftentimes, well, hair sprouting from literally every where.

Honestly, though, my favorite scenes in the movie weren't even necessarily the Kill scenes or the plot scenes; our Big Bad is this absurd caricature who is obsessed with hair, wears an American flag t-shirt and has long dancing and singing scenes in a room literally filled with hair; it was well-crafted absurdity that honestly separated the film from just another Onryō film.

Also, we have the glorious Chiaki Kuriyama (Gogo from Kill Bill), though she plays the cliched giggling JA girl. That being said, I honestly sympathized with her and was interested in her own personal story (at the beginning of the film, her garish sister dumps her niece on her), which turns into a pretty touching mother/daughter theme.

Overall, there are good things (our absurd Big Bad, our touching mother/daughter theme), but I'm not sure whether or not they actually fit well together. The Kills are a bit disappointing (I was expecting more gore I guess) and there wasn't really a whole lot of suspense. It just seemed... Absolutely disjointed.

What's weird is... I'd watch it again. So, it couldn't have been that bad.

It's the kind of movie where, I'd recommend it, but don't expect anything particularly novel. And I wouldn't suggest necessarily paying for it.

VISITOR Q - TAKASHl MllKE

My tag lines.. "Got Milk", "Corpses Have Orgasms too!"

[Painfulldeath]

Untold Story: I liked this one. It really resembled the Ebola Syndrome except I found it even more demented. The acting was ok but I don't understand why they had to have goof cops provide comedic relief. It kind of took away some of the film's morbid impact. Still, the final 20 minutes are crazy and not like anything I've ever seen. 6.75/10.

[ChronoGrl]

Kung fu Hustle (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0373074/)

This is the second time that I've seen this film, but I somehow managed to let time lapse just enough between viewings to forget the intricacies that make this film absolutely great.

Needless to say, I remember enjoying this film the first time, but it was even better the second time.

Brilliant writing and direction, hysterical comic timing (purposefully cartoony at times), and some amazingly choreographed kung fu. Delightfully over-the-top hero kung fu movie. If there are movie enthusiasts out there who still haven't seen this movie, go out and see it.

The Eye 3 (2005)

>>: C+

Actually, that was called The Eye 10, was renamed 'The Eye 3' in the US, and wasn't really related to The Eye 1 and 2 (at least not the same storyline)

The Eye 3 (which IS related to 1 & 2) was supposed to come out this year...I hope they haven't given up on it...Maybe they'll just call it 'The Eye 4' in the US
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0896815/

Reminds me of how Shocker was named 'House 3' (but had nothing to do with House 1 & 2), so House 3 became House 4...and how Halloween 3 wasn't related to the other sequels at all...

[Keith Stryton III]

To be perfectly honest I don't watch many Japanese or Oriental films. I find them a bit wearing, and I don't like reading subtitles. If I want to read something I would take a good book off a shelf, and besides, these sort of films are less sophisticated compared to their American counterparts, and they seem to be remakes most of the time (such as The Grudge, I much prefer the American original). Still, each to their own, hey ho. Though I did see one good Japanese film a couple of months ago. I can't remember the name but it was an involving drama about one woman's desperate bid to hold on to her children in a man dominated family. It actually made me cry. I am confident with my emotions. Although I do like to work out physically, I feel every individual also needs to work out emotionally, beit through film or music or sitting in profound silence. I know I'm new here, and I don't mean to come across as too preachy or odd, but a lot of people say I can be overbearing. I've never had a great number of friends, but I am a rich tapistary of contradictions. For example, I work out but I like my food. The two balance themselves out. Though I have to say the scales do tip towards the food these days, and my doctor says I have to be careful because I might have a heart attack before I'm 30 if I carry on eating BBQ pringles. I'll do anything for anyone and I'm a very good listener. I did enjoy listening to the Japanese language - there is a beautiful and ebb and sway to the Japanese tongue, but their movies just arn't for me. Though if I was offered a part in a Japanese film I would certainly give it a go, and try my hardest to learn the language. Though Japanese people always sound cross, don't they?

Sun faa sau si (Bio-Zombie) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0277605/)

Thoroughly enjoyable Hong Kong zombie movie. There's charming buffoons-turned-heroes, and classic cliched two-dimensional mini-bads. And, of course, hot damsels in distress.

It's a silly Hong Kong interpretation of Dawn of the Dead - Victims and zombies trapped in a shopping mall. And hilarity ensues.

Horrible dialogue and actors. But director Wai-keung Lau (Infernal affairs 1, 2 & 3) sure had quite a lot of scares up his sleeve. Some more original than others.

Katakuri-ke no kôfuku (The Happiness of the Katakuris) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0304262/)

Wow. Sorry, Des, but I was a little disappointed in this one. Considering Miike's skill and obvious eye for camp, I think that he could and should have pushed the envelope further on this one. I thought that the beginning was strong - fantastic quirky characters (not to mention the fantastic claymation) and the family's first musical number was absolutely superb and set a great tone.

Another highlight was the romance between the daughter and Richard - Their meeting number is fantastic, but the energy just didn't hold up and after a while I found myself just getting... bored.

I think that he should have stuck with the initial high level of camp and absurdity... I think that I was expecting the family to be more out there and eccentric or that there would be more eccentric characters coming in and out of the family's life.

I don't know - Big disappointment. :(

REINCARNATION

The freaked out film from the director of The Grudge is seriously wack. It's brilliant. The story of a crew filming a recreation of a mass murder in a hotel that happened 35 years ago careens through different realities, locations and perspectives that end up fitting together seamlessly... I'm not sure exactly what it all means but it's told magnificently. I was even about ready to hate the ending which at one moment seemed like a cop out- but then it pulled it all back with the biggest WTF in the entire film.

The lead actress playing the lead actress and the actor playing the director were particulaly great.

Wonderful and recommended.

Zebraman (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0388556/)

I've FINALLY watched this movie and - what fun!!

SUPERHEROES VS. ALIENS!

A fantastic superhero romp that lampoons Japanese Manga Super-heroes while at the same time creating a seriously charming character and a great hero tale.

Miike showcases his talent and love for the super hero genre in his own hero origin story. Quirky and eccentric, this movie revolves around a dejected school teacher whose only escape in life is to dress up as Zebraman, a short-lived television show superhero. Miike creates some fantastic superhero parodies while simultaneously creating a fantastic, fun superhero action movie.

I highly recommend it.

4/5.

From this year's After Dark Horrorfest:

Du saram-yida (Voices) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1213856/)



It was refreshing that ADH once again decided to bring a foreign film into the mix (ADH I, after all was the vehicle for 2005's gem Rinne (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0456630/)). Voices is directed by amateur Korean director Ki-hwan Oh. The story centers around a high school girl whose life takes a turn for the worse when her Aunt is almost murdered on her wedding day and then all of a sudden her friends, family, and confidants seem to want her dead.

Not your typical Asian ghost movie, Voices examines the human monster in all of us: jealousy. How often do you say to yourself, "I could KILL them!" either in rage or in irony - There's a point where the phrase "I'll KILL you/him/her" has become an expression of speech and, incidentally, has lost all meaning. Voices considers the concept: What if that urge became real? What if you couldn't control that urge? What if those around you couldn't control that urge? A base, everyday emotion suddenly becomes a legitimate threat.

There are also some well-done supernatural aspects to the film. Ki-hwan Oh creates some truly haunting imagery and suspense that literally caused me to jump in my seat. I felt true horror and threat for the plight of our heroine; what would you do if your friends and family suddenly tried to kill you?

Perhaps what is most striking about Voices is Ki-hwan Oh's ability to truly put the audience in the shoes of our heroine; when she's in love at the beginning of the movie, you're surrounded by cheesy stereotypical Asian flourishes while, when she's haunted in the end you are caught up in a truly suspenseful and atmospheric film.

An innovative addition to Asian horror, Voices has been a true highlight of the festival. I highly recommend.

beautiful looking film ... not without they typical asian chiches .. but still very interesting.

there was a little too much theatrical posturing - very typical of asian male actors ...
a love story that - as usual - wasnt fleshed out in any way shape or form ...

Stephen Chow has certainly advanced a lot as a director since The King Of Comedy. Weird that there's only 2 years between this one and Shaolin Soccer.

This one had a much different pacing than films like Machine Girl and Tokyo Gore Police. The blood and gore wasn't as immediate, and the insanity wasn't as non-stop. That being said, I honestly enjoyed the story in this one more than I did in either of the other two movies I mentioned (which have been compared repeatedly to MM). It's slower and not as over the top (trust me, it's still all sorts of crazy though) but I thought it was a great J-splatter flick. I liked it a lot, even though I was expecting something different.

Noroi the curse (2005)

There's none of those stereotypical long-haired ghosts but the films successfully manages to hold an incredibly eerie atmosphere till the "pleasant" ending.
