Is that asian??? The scariest asians, imo: Ju-on Kairo Tale of two sisters One missed call Another one i'll recomment is "The Park". Not as scary and the actors all play like crap, but the scenery is awsome and the director Wai-keung Lau (Infernal affairs 1,2&3) has a lot of nice ideas/scares up his sleeves. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0385598/ |

"The Grudge: Girl in Black" 5/10
Like the case was with "Ju-rei", "Girl in black" perfectly proves that Only Takashi Shimizu can make Ju-on-scares (the cuts right before climaxes), and a story that constantly jumps back and forth in time, successfully work. This movie also lacks Shimizus flair for creative scares. Only the face-in-the-stomach scene was nice and new. This movie WASN'T directed by Takashi Shimizu. Only the story was Shimizus work, but both screenplay as well as direction was done by Mari Asato (That's right. Some nobody). |
Sonatine (1993). This Yakuza flick from "Beat" Takeshi is not your standard fare, even by Tokyo standards. Somehow, it takes the humdrum of being a Yakuza and turns it into art. These guys somehow balance their lives as gangsters, which is portrayed as an almost fatalistic affair where they are born to die, and their more playful and silly inclinations where their cultural expressions come to fruitition in a beautiful fashion. With some occasional violence sprinked in, this one is dominated by at time wonderful though prosaic camerawork accompanied by some rather touching and brilliant scenes. And whilst the viewer partakes in the fun at no time do we forget the pointlessness of our protagonist's lives.

Strange Circus (2005)
A very disturbing and twisted film from Sion Sono, the writer-director of "Suicide Club". Sion Sono deals this time a difficult and dark subject matter in a horrific and bizarre way. Besides the poetic imagery (like class rooms filled with bloody walls and a coffin filled with flowers that is set on fire), Sono treated all the sensitive moments with a twisted sense of genius. You will eventually cope yourself in every level of this nightmarish & sexually surreal experience but for a price of unfolding an extremely sad story. You have seen Takashi Miike's AUDITION & VISITOR Q or Chanwook Park's OLDBOY...now if you can dare, then prepare yourself for another weird, devastating & uncomfortable tale of losing innocence & everything! >>: A |
