I like Japanese horror, and a lot of the new stuff coming out of Asia's top! I loved Ringu and Dark water, recently saw Kairo too which was delightful. There are, however a few exceptions to the rule- I'm not entirely certain about Juon (the grudge) though... when I saw the previews I thought it looked absolutely terrifying, but the fact is, I just couldn't find a small child in blue make up frightening... it seemed to be somewhat taking advantage of the fact that absolutely any horror film from Asia will be a hit at the mo, and so it just took elements from all the other sucessful films and remixed them. Just my opinion, though! ^_^

The classics, like Kwaidan, etc. are excellent too! I recently got hold of a copy of Onibaba which I'm looking forward to with great anticipation- asia does ghosts with style! ^_^
