Have you played the game? Does it stack up well?

A Tale of Two Sisters. Bleargh.

Very well, actually. I've been a fan of the Megami Tensei series as a whole

Black Magic (1975) Been years since I saw this Shaw Brothers occult horror. Wasn't as insane as I remembered it watching this time around but still quite fun and reliably panicky.

Hansel and Gretel, a Korean movie, for me. I already wrote a review about it, but in a nutshell, I really enjoyed it! I thought they did a really good job with the fairy tale atmosphere.

"Merantau" 6-7/10

Very similar to Ong-Bak but without any awsome jump kicks. So all in all..... meh.

Did have a few insane stunts tho. My favorite being the jump and fall from a tall building. The way it was filmed was super cool.

Muoi

Didn't care for it, I didn't think it was scary at all. I thought it was pretty boring.

Carved The Slit Mouthed Woman-Harrowing and unsettling Japanese supernatural horror. Low budget but comes with a bleak, sepia-esque toned cinematography that greatly enhances the brutality of the violence. Subtle performances are also the key here-they are never over-dramaticized, the characters are quite natural (or naturally unnatural when needed), refreshingly flawed and measured. Kudos for not shying away from the true horrors of the subject matter where many gloss and sugar-coat it.

The last seen Asian (actually from Asia, not a remake) movie was A Tale of Two Sisters (which I watched yesterday). The film was a great psychological thriller with a very interesting plot and really good acting. Additionally, its use of suspense was brilliant. There were several scenes that were quite scary. The scariest scene being the dining room scene after they invited some relative over for dinner.

301, 302 (1995)

A slow burn drama-thriller from South Korea that centers around only 2 characters with their sad but interesting back stories. Not great but a decent watch overall.
