What a great round and what a shame so many of you have missed out on these classics.

Scare-O-Meter scores (out of 5)

Kwaidan (based on 3 ratings) - 3.3
Onibaba (based on 4 ratings) - 3.5
Kuroneko - Insufficient Data

More horror fans need to see these extremely underrated Japanese classics of the genre. They helped change and evolve the modern horror film to a very large extent, IMO.

All 3 duly merged into the opening post.

Definitely. I rated it rather low because I don't find it to be that scary, but it is really entertaining. Plus, it was directed by Bob Clark (Black Christmas, Porky's, A Christmas Story).

I also watched Misery recently. I agree. It's more psychological than scary.Having said that I liked both Silence of the lambs and Misery which were in a 2 DVD pack which I purchased on ebay.
