How was it?

I liked it quite a lot. The whole idea of being scarred by your past (literally and figuratively...you have to watch the movie to get what I mean) in such a way that it affects everything you do is an interesting one.

I expected it to be a typical revenge flick, but it wasn't. There are enough twists and turns to keep you going, and things go off in directions that aren't exactly predictable.

If you watch it, let me know what you make of the ending. It's a bit...well, you'll just have to watch it.

But is it gory and disgusting?

Or is it good?;) :D

I would say disturbing, without resorting to blood, guts, and gore. There are some violent scenes, but they aren't the heart and soul of the movie.:)

Great.

SOLD!!

One Missed Call

Getting a little tired of the creepy long-haired ghost chick.That being said....this one ain't too bad.Although it did suffer from the "LOTR fake endings" syndrome.....I counted about three.

lol :p

Long haired creepy ghost chicks are not only known for the Ring and Ju-On, its imagery based on Japanese Folklore, namely the Legend of Oiwa, which is an ancient ghost story.

after i'd seen my 6th or 7th asian film with the same theme i figured it must be based on some kind of cultural phenomenon

I guess when you put it that way, 6 or 7 don't sound too bad compared to the hundreds of vampire movies out there.

or werewolf
or zombie

At least the creepy long haired ghost chick still kinda freaks me out.

or 80's slasher films ..


there must be only 5,000 - 6,000 of those ...

Or porno, they all seem very similar but no one seems to mind?:D

Nope...I dont mind one bit :D

Tell Me Something. (5/10)

Basically, the first three words out of your mouth when watching this film are guenteed to be WTF?!:D

That was fucking awesome!:D

:confused:

I don't remember that...I think I was too busy fighting the urge to vomit then.

That was sweet...sweet sweet blood candies...:D

In the past week I've watched:

R Point
A Better Tomorrow
Graveyard of Honor

Dragon Tiger Gate.

"Imprint"

Pretty good ´n far out story, although i was disappionted to see Miike turn away from the ghost scares early on in the movie, coz they were creepy as hell and to me the highligts of "Imprint". Especially the scene where the ghost is slowly showing up behind the geisa. Ooooh man, one of the best scares i´ve had in years. But then Miike decides that he will rather disgus his audience than scare them and begins with his loving torture scenes, which is also fine by me, but i don´t enjoy it as much as the few ghost parts.

The only 2 problems i had with this movie was:

1. I didn´t understand half of what the japanese actors were saying. Most of them spoke worse english than Jackie Chan in "Rush hour".

2. I didn´t know how bad an actor Billy Drago really was before i saw this movie. I´m surprised Miike wasn´t able to find a better actor for his leading role concidering he´s a more famous direcor than Takashi Shimizu.

But all in all a very good short-movie. And definitely recommendable.

Well, I just finished watching my first japanese horror movie ever and I must say I was a bit disappointed. It was "Pulse" and... I was expecting something ghastly like The Ring (I only saw the american version) but it had no real scares. The general mood was creepy, ok, but it was nothing compared to the shock and trauma that The Ring gave me. That continues to be THE SCARIEST movie I've ever seen in my life, still haunts me (even during the day, sometimes brrr).

Oh well, did anyone here love Pulse and can explain to me why is it listed as one of the best japanese horror movies?

The next one I'm watching will be A Tale of Two Sisters... I'll then tell you how it went :D

If you don´t like that one either i want your sorry ass banned.:mad:





Just kidding... But not really.:D


What i liked the most about "Pulse" was the few ghost scares it had. Thought they were creepy as hell. Especially the encounter with the weird walking ghost lady in the forbidden room. That scene made the hair on my neck to stand up. That so rarely happens these days, that when it finally does it´s pleasure overload for me. :)
