Carved aka The Slit-Mouthed Woman (2007)
Not bad...an average Asian Horror with some decent scares. >>: C+ |

Uzumaki. Very twisted-sorry, but i could not help myself. i liked this one. It had a Miike goofiness to it, but somehow this added to the creepiness. This flick had an ingeniously amateur feel to it, though the editing was truly a little lackidaisical. Some of the up close camera shots and goofy, over-acted scenes were perfect for this flick.

Kagemusha. Absolutely incredible. The three hours almost flew by. Ashe.

Arang. Pretty well done Korean thriller, though the acting was a tad chunky in a couple of places. i know it is sorta cheating, but i still love the Korean penchant for clearing up the main story's mysteries w/ flashbacks at the end. Not as rich as other K-flicks, but this was actually appreciated as i can get lost with subtle foreign Nuances. Good flick with a great story.
Throne of Blood. A Shakespearean story set in Medieval Japan. Definitely a classic. Ashe. d |
Ghost of Mae Nak. This Thai thriller is up there with Shutter, and may have even been better. The acting was solid, the story meandered perfectly, the characters were well developed, and even the ending, which almost had a cheesy Hollywood twist, was still perfect for this flick. i love how Bhuddism has such dark connotations in Asian flicks. Ashe.

Red Eye (Redeu-ai). i kinda had low expectations for this one, don't know why. Instead, it turned out to be a typical, well told, multi-layered Korean flick that did not disappoint. By my account, Korean flicks have rich stories and cinematography, Thai flicks are very creepy, and J-horror can be rather bleak. i haven't come up with an aspect of Chinese flicks that stands out as distinctive. They seem to be just good and scary. Ashe.
