ITT We Talk Asian Horror.

Go.

Watching Someone Behind You right now, and it's pretty damn good. Also, never watch Haze; unless you like being drawn out for 38 minutes in blackness for a lackluster ending.

I don't think it qualifies as horror, but a friend of mine made me watch that Battle Royale movie, and I laughed the whole way through it.

not as up to speed on my asian horror as i guess i should be ... i've seen the eye, a bit of tale of two sisters and the three... extremes-cut of dumplings.

they were all ace as far as the isolated/tense atmosphere, which is something i think american horror movies are definitely lacking, or at least to that degree. from wha i've seen, i am a fan.

will bought me Ringu like a year ago and i'm actually in the mood to concentrate and watch some movies, so i might get around to that one.

damn double-post.

yes, for sure, but the majority of the time they wind up being too convoluted to be completely effective. I'm assuming a lot has to do with allusions to traditional culture which I would not be able to pick up on.

A few months ago I saw Dark Water (never bothered with the remake) and the scene in the elevator was omgpooyourpants frightening.

 

[Burti]

Alright, finished Someone Behind You. Was superb.

I'm trying to find that one IMDB to no avail. More info?


edit: google saved the day, still can't find it on IMDB though, odd!

Just go to the forums after you register and choose said movie you wish to watch.

Also,



I want to see all the movies in that.

I think Sundance Channel plays Asian horror movies every Sunday night (well, technically Monday morning).

Marebito was a pretty strange movie, but I love it

 

[Jeff-Loomis-fan]
