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...
