Ju-On The Grudge. I've mentioned this one in another thread. Very good. Hollywood remake coming out very soon. Watch the original first.

John Woo is the man. The Killer, Hard Boiled, A Bullet in the Head, and many more great action movies.
Versus, very over the top action, zombie flick.
Battle Royale, good stuff.

They aren't horror, but Kurosawa's movies are still the best ones to come out of Asia. I was dissapointed by Rashomon, but Ran completely blew me away. While I think Seven Samurai and, especially, Yojimbo were better, Ran is the best example of why he's such a great director.

As for the horror movies, Kaïro is the best. I think that's the only Asian horror movie that made my top 100 (BR isn't horror, but it made it, too). My main problem with them is, except for Ringu, they seem to dislike explaining things. I like open endings and all, but if you're going to have a really cool buildup, then you should at least have something, even if it's bad.


As for Visitor Q...I'll hold off giving an opinion until I post it on the site...

I don't think anyone has mentioned Suicide Club yet. I liked that one alot.

I would personally stay away from St. John's Wort. Did anyone like this one?

Sam The Egg 09-03-2004 05:03 PM

Suicide Club is good, but they kindof wrote themselves into a corner. They built it up and had all these red herrings, but the solution, or lack thereof, came almost out of nowhere, and didn't really explain much. Although I think with movies like that, the message is more important than the plot.

St. John's Wort sucked
