Weird & funny but not as good as the original 1998 South Korean film The Quiet Family.

>>: B

I had no idea there was an original will deffo check that out cheers :)

Art Of The Devil 2-truly outstanding film in every way, extremely gory but surprising too. The ending may not add up to close scrutiny but I can overcome that being the feast to the senses this is. Highly recommended and far superior to the patchy first film.

PTU: Police Tactical Unit (2003)

A slow burn but quite interesting cop-thriller from Hong Kong.

>>: B

Dark Forest [4 Horror Tales] (2006)

A low budget K-Horror that just needed only 15 to 20 minutes or less to tell the damn boring story. But they dragged it too long (more than 90 minutes!) & made it a pretty painful experience, even for a viewer like me.

Chungking Express (1994)

Not horror, but a very well-made character drama. I thought that the first 1/2 dragged a little bit, but I absolutely fell in love with the second half. And then I cried in the end (even though I suppose it was supposed to be a "hopeful" ending) - Not sure what happened, but it just left me feeling a little empty and lonely; could have been my mood, but I felt a little let down. I think the younger me would have liked it more.

3.5/5.

This was just terrible. I didn't even bother finishing it

Necromancer (2005) Terrible, woeful, limpid bore-fest that I simply couldn't finish. Dull as dishwater and about as exciting as a blocked toilet

Oh, wow, I just put it together that this is the guy who did In The Mood for Love and 2046.

I'm going to be honest - It was quite a while ago that I tried to watch In The Mood for Love and it really bored me to tears at the time; couldn't finish it.

I've heard that 2046 is incredible though, but I've held off since I wasn't a huge fan of ITMfL.

Just added Fallen Angels to my Netflix queue - Thanks for the heads up!

Same here! I'm a huge Kar-Wai fan, too.
I'd also check out Happy Together, Chungking Express, and you should definitely give In the Mood for Love another shot.

Bangkok Haunted (2001)

>>: C

ImmortalSlasher 02-20-2012 01:58 PM

Dream Home.

This movie reminded me of Antichrist. Both try to be realistic horror films as opposed to the masked killer type. The kills in Dream Home are crazy. So are the things that one shouldn't do in a horror movie. Namely alcohol/drugs and sex. But the movie tries for both realism and horror and I think that is where it fails. Because the horror portion is strong and the realistic portion although well acted is kind of hard to believe that the main character would snap and go to the lengths that she does.

Segunda Mano aka Second Hand (2011)

Filipino Horror flick. The plot was decent for a typical Asian horror film but the acting & the scrip made it kinda Soap Opera sort of drama.

Spider Forest (2004)

Haven't seen it before. A pretty good psychological horror-thriller from Korea.

Matango (1963)Mushroom based horror concerning shipwrecked surivors on a remote pacific island. More time is spent with the characters bitching and backstabbing each other than the desired mushroom action. But when the mushroom action comes it is glorious and worth the wait though if you don't like dated special effects you may want to avoid it. Enjoyable trippy fun.

Asian or Asian horror? I am not sure which one you are referring to?

Just finished watching it on my Ipad actually.

I was wondering if you guys could recommend some solid j-horror/asian horror films to me. I've seen the ju-on films and Reincarnation, along with Ringu. But if there's any good ones you can suggest, feel free to let me know.

What kind of Asian horror are you looking for? There are psychological ones such as 13 Beloved, I Saw the Devil and Confessions. If you're looking for one that features ghosts and supernatural beings there's Body 19, Rule#1, Ladda Land. If you're not sure, try some shorts like 4bia/Phobia 1 and 2 or the experimental shorts from Japan. Hope this helps :)

Man, I watched one flipped out movie tonight-

Dream Home.

A gory slasher, satire on the housing shortage in Hong Kong.

I like the horror portions of Dream Home. I wasn't too fond of the more realistic parts. I find it crazy that someone would go to extremes over a square apartment in any building. I'm a nature person.

neverending 05-06-2012 08:53 AM

It's a satire....

Roshiq loved that one too - I thought it was pretty good; one of the rare movies that have made me film as of late. Definitely recommended.

Save the Green Planet! (2003)

I was pretty disappointed in this one, particularly considering how incredibly AWESOME the trailer is.




Had a lot of stuff that was absolutely great about it, but I found it a bit long, drab, and mediocre. Disappointed.

+1 for A Tale of Two Sisters
 
I like how it keeps you guessing throughout the film. Great cinematography - which is something I say about Asian horror films.
