Infection?

I've never seen korean. Well the Japanese ones I've caught were on cable. The first one I remember seeing was "the Eye" Unfortunately that's the only title that's coming to my mind. I remember seeing one where at the end, a girl is in extreme pain & this grown man comes out of her pussy as another guy watches in horror & disgust. And 1 was Infection which I didn't care for. And the 2 other ones had very simple 1 word titles that I can't for the life of me recall. I must search the movie chanels for some of these movies. Sidenote: I also enjoy watching the japanese credits.

I'm with master here. I'd say the vast majority of Asian horror sucks ass. I've seen Ju-on, Ringu, Ringu 2, One Missed Call, Audition, The Eye, Versus, Dark Water, etc... While The Eye was the best out of that bunch I'd still probably only give it a C grade. They all pretty much sucked.

My recommendation to you master is to look more at the Asian Action/Horror because that's where you'll find the cool films. Battle Royale is awesomely brutal! Same with Ichi the Killer. I HIGHLY recommend both of those and this is coming from someone who thinks the Asian ghost-type horror sucks every bit as much as you do. Watch out for Battle Royale 2 though. It pales in comparison to the original.

Im really getting burnt out on all the asian ghost movies, but a lot of asian movies are just plain awesome (the non-ghost related ones)
riki-oh, ichi the killer, stuff like that

Big sweeping generalizations.....are for dirty little monkeys and no others!

im not talking about zero

he is not a dirty monkey

he bathes

he combs his hair and looks presentable

i am talking about the other little monkeys

As I said before, I REALLY liked Oldboy, but that wasn't horror. Has anyone seen this one?
