Understandable.

You wont be disappointed. :cool:

just ordered the tony jaa box set with ong bak and warrior king for £12.99 hope its as good as its supposed to be

Ebola Syndrome

I've been brushing up on my Cat III horrors (the ones that aren't just softcore porn).

the tale of two sisters

this is a great movie. it has it all, storyline, atmosphere, aesthetics and conclusion. surpassed only by ju on

premonition. just finished it.

*********spoiler********


slightly unsettling in all. the end left me sad but happy. if you've seen it then you'll know what i mean. nice little supernatural tale 7/10

ichi the killer. holy shit thats a messed up movie, but brilliant. kakihara was one of the best bad guys for a long time. 9/10. watch it asap:) :) :)

Shinobi.

Laughably bad Japanese rip off of X-Men that took itself too seriously. I can't recommend this one.

A Tale of Two Sisters
....a great film indeed.

>>: B+

ong bak. good, cheesey martial arts movie with great stunts and a nice little comedy streak. reminded of that bruce lee movie that had a good sense of humour, the big boss i think.

ring 2. 7/10. one of the better sequals you'll find. i got the box set so i'm looking forward to completing viewing the set

imprint. 7/10. quirky short story with quality miikeian tortue scene

Infection - not the best I've seen, but I liked it ok. Nice amount of gore, quite a bit of tension.

I really enjoyed this one.I know what you mean about the ending,it was a bit sad but happy in a way.I agree with you.

The Scissor Man
....little bit slow but interesting. Previously the english title of this movie was The Man behind the Scissors.

>>: B

"Dumplings" - was on E4 last night! Have been meaning to watch it for a while now and glad I have - found it a bit odd though :eek: . Has anyone else seen the cut version on 3 Extremes? Not sure if it is worth getting that version - what are the other films like on the 3 Extremes?

Dumplings is the worst of the 3 extremes imho.

Audition-
I thought this was incredible,I found myself absorbed in this movie from the outset,i thought the pace of the movie was perfectly executed,the gently meloncholy meandering of the first third of the movie served to emphasise the truly disturbing finale to maximum effect.Takashi Miike skillfully infuses the entire movie with a forebodingley eerie atmosphere,understated in the early stages gradually becoming more tangible as the sense of sinister malevolence grows.The performances of Ryo Ishibashi and in particular Eihi Shiina were exceptional. 9/10.

I loved it ,great movie.I Loved Shiina too;) .Gonna check out some more Miike i think.

i've had it for a month but its been quite far down my list. i'm gonna watch it this weekend. i'll let you know

Battle Royale

Memento Mori.

I didn't really care for this one. It hardly seemed like a horror film until toward the very end. I also found several of the girls quite annoying, although the main characters did a decent job.

japenease
 

i agree, i thought that tale of two sisters was a brilliant movie, i know its not a horror but i bought a movie called cashern which was fantastic and i advise anyone to rent or buy it.i also like the ring and the grudge. has anyone seen the movie called curse of the cherry tree its made by asian tartan and i cant find it anywhere.in the stores where i live.:eek:

Dumplings
 

Thank goodness for + 1 on Sky! Was skimming the channels and came across a very atmospheric little gem of a film - Dumplings - but it was half way through so set the vid to go on the +1 - havent watched it yet but looking forward to settling in to absorb myself in it.

I find that most asian horror movies have an atmosphere, a clinging and uneasy *feel* about them - you just dont know how horrific it is going to get until it is in your face.

I'm certainly getting hooked :D

I've kept the list... and wont lose it! :)

Sci-fi is my god! With a little horror thrown in for good measure!

Cheers! :D

this might make me sound like a complete loser,but im from the uk and i dnt know wat r3 means?

Figured I'd finally post here after lurking a while.

Just watched Rinne.

Loved it.

Good story and pretty creepy.

Was like the Shining on crack.

speaking of... anyone know where you can get an R3 player?

Let's see. The last one that I saw was A Tale of Two Sisters. Absolutely loved it. Very original.

ju on2. not great, 6/10. i pale shadow of the original.

Haven't posted in what seems like an eternity, so I've had time to watch several: Shutter, Pray, One Missed Call, One Missed Call 2, Bloody Reunion, Koma, and Ringu. I'm in the process of working my way through Rasen, Ringu 2, and Ringu 0. I also recently picked up Cinderella, Prayer Beads, The Sisters, and a movie I can neither spell nor pronounce. I can say that it starts with a B and seems to look like babushka or something like that. (I don't have the title right in front of me and am too lazy to look.:D)

battle royale, 8/10. really good people, watch it asap

returner


takeshi kaneshiro gives another good turn

Pray.

6/10. Not particularly scary, but a good watch.

Visitor Q ~ Wow man.....just wow....LOL...I have seen a bit of Miike's work and I find him a very intriguing director. But I knew next to nothing about this movie, and so I was taken by surprise. Definitely NOT for everybody, and I can't say that I find this movie very likeable. Its an interesting film to say the least, alternates between amusing and sickening (for me anyway). But I spent most of the movie just kind of confused as to what I was supposed to take from it.

Uzumaki-
Umm yeah,this was strange,I think I liked it but i'm not quite sure.Bizarre story,quirky characters,odd scene transitions,subliminal suggestions(I think:confused: ) and some insane visuals create something quite unusual.
Now i'm seeing spirals and vortexes everywhere! 7/10

Probably nothing at all.


And yes, except for his yakuza flicks not 2 movies are the same from this directors hand. I guess that's both good and bad. :)
