Japanese Horror... Does it scare you?
on: July 09, 2003, 05:16:25 am
I've been watching lately these Japanese horror movies. IE: The Ring trilogy, Dark Water, Audition, Ichi the Killer (not really horror but gruesome) The eye (Chinese I know) etc. And I have to say they're pritty darned good! Better than any kind of mainstream Hollywood horror crap that they're dishing out these days. Apart from What Lies Beneath. I just watched Dark Water yesterday. And it too had a creepy little girl. This time she wore a yellow raincoat and had a red bag that popped up everywhere. Creepy. :shaking:

Anyway, anyone else seen any Japanese/asian horror movies of merit? What do you think of them? What IS the scariest/disturbing movie you've ever seen?
I have returned... Again...

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

well, those above ( the ring for exemple ) aren't horror movies. they're... "takes dictionary". ah crap, it's translated the same in englishb, how stupid is that? Ah well, it's not about gore or blood or dismembered people, it's about creepy atmosphere and stuff ( nothing like braindead - which I love for it's funnyness :P - °

To answer to the thread's title: well, like every country, they have good movies, and have crappy ones ;).

that's not scary, that's pure fun :D
And some awesome directing. The scene at the light tower still impresses me.
