It sounds to me like you are one of these people that will not allow yourself to broaden your horizons. You probably say japanese films aren't better cos you dont like subtitles.

LOL!!!! Oh, excuse me for a second, I have to catch my breath. Okay, I'm back. In case you haven't noticed, most of the time if I'm talking about a horror movie in a positive light, it's Japanese. Kaïro, Audition, Chaos, Cure, Uzumaki, Battle Royale, Seven Samurai, Ran, all great movies. Okay, Chaos wasn't that great, and Uzumaki raped the end of the manga, but the point remains valid. Implying that I don't want to broaden my movie horizons and that I don't like subtitles is really funny. My horizons are very broad.
Look, I love Japanese movies, foreign movies in general, as much as the next pretentious asshole. But insulting someone over a preference, something that happens a LOT on this board, is just dumb. And saying that every single country in the world produces movies that are second rate compared to Japan makes you look horribly ignorant, and to extend that to the last 5 to 10 years is worse. I mean, do you live in Japan or something? Do you watch 10 out of the 10 horror movies that come out in Japan? Yes, some great movies have come out of Japan. I'm not arguing with you there, but they've come out with their fair share of bad movies as well, probably more than just 2 out of every 10 movies to come out.
By the way, Kiyoshi Kurosawa is way better than Takashi Miike
I really cannot wait until this "OMG ITS JAPANESE SO ITS AWESOME" fad is over.
