That used to get shown on TV reguarly when I was a teenager, what I remember most is the nudity.. :eek:

My limited list:

Flower Of Flesh and Blood
Junk
The Grudge
Urotsukidoji
Wicked City

Most of the Asian cinema I watch isn't horror Lady Snowblood, Female Convict: Scorpion etc.

Looking forward to seeing the list and getting some recs...

Actually, you might have seen one of the sequels...Part 1 had no nudity, barely any skin shown...it's more a ghosts and monsters type fantasy.

There is three of them movies I think so maybe it was part 2 I think.. ahh, the tities have blured my memory...

Ok, I'm going to wing it, I may have to add some later as I remember them,
in no particular order:

*Meatball Machine
*Tokyo Gore Police
*Giunea Pig; Devils Experiment, Flowers of Flesh and Blood, Mermaid in the Manhole and He never Dies(The 'making of' on Flowers of Flesh and Blood covers all movies and IMO is better than the movies themselves.)
*Ichi the Killer
*Audition

I think I'm having a hard time discerning Japanese fighting,scifi and action movies from horror, they have such different standards there.

* Versus was more of an action/scifi film, but filled with gore/horror elements. *Sharkskin Man and Peach Hip Girl was a super freaking awesome movie!
*Oldboy is fresh in my memory from recent posts-great movie.

Ok, beer is not helping my memory right now.

Meatball machine was fun, but it was pretty crap...


I wasn't going to sugest any as everything I sugest will probaly show up anyway, and if it doesn't then I will know not to trust human kind again.

Meatball was fun, and I think that's what alot of Japanese horror is all about. Atleast the Manga style shock-horror movies. I think there is a large market for more of these 'crap', 'fun' movies, and I bet we see more of them in the future. Atleast I sure hope we do.

I'm not mentioning any remade for American audience movies either, because they're like shooting fish in a barrel. I also didn't mention any anime, because the list of anime horror is only second to anime porn. It's seriously extensive, and filled with tentacles.

P.S. You probably shouldn't trust human kind anyway.

I wouldn't class Ichi the Killer as horror.

I wouldnt class Oldboy as horror either. Versus, however, comes under the genre because of the subject elements.

We have to draw a line somewhere. I think the debate is open for Ichi, Audition and Tetsuo type flicks. I d like to hear more on this from everyone.

I agree, Versus is definitley horror bordering on action just like Dog Soldiers.

Tetsuo can be classed as horror I think. The mutation themes in it make it slip into the genre. Ichi is more of a crime/gangster flick that is popular with your typical horror fan because of the extremes it went to in terms of violence.
