Just seen "Into the Mirror" it has a lot in common with "the Phone"...but its south korean not japanese....
..but i have to say this movie wasnt particulary scary...but well made

Re: Re: Any new creepy japanese horror movies that i should know about?
 

Okay, lets just say that i´m looking for new scary Asian horror movies.

I didn´t find "Phone" to be specially good. The last 5-10 minutes were pretty ok.

Was "Into the mirror" better or worse than "Phone", you think?

Not really horror, check out OLDBOY it fucking rocks, R-POINT ain t bad either.

Re: Re: Re: Any new creepy japanese horror movies that i should know about?
 

...hmmm it was less scary than "The Phone" but better made with higher budget....much more modern look.....
...i could also recomend "Tell Me Something" a south korean serial killer movie....

Cool. Thanks for the tip. Both sounds interesting.

By the way, have you seen that an american version of "Oldboy" has a 2006 release date. ;)

Re: Re: Re: Re: Any new creepy japanese horror movies that i should know about?
 

Im not into serial killer movies. Don´t find them scary, just cruel.

But "into the mirror" sounds okay. SOLD!!! ;)

Thanks!! :)

Dont you like "Seven" either ?..one of the best films of the 90's.....:confused:

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Any new creepy japanese horror movies that i should know about?
 

Well... I thought it was okay, nothing more. Besides, i wouldn´t call "Seven" a horror movie... Maybe that´s becauce, when i think of a horror movie with a serial killer, it´s always shown from the killers point of view and not the cops. When it´s shown through the cops eyes i find it to be a "thriller" or just a plain "action" movie. But that´s just my opinion.... ;)

If their making a remake of OLDBOY that will be interesting. I hated remake of Ringu & ain t seen remake of Grudge yet.

I don't think this is the kind of movie you were meaning (it's manga) but "Perfect Blue" is quite a good thriller/horror type movie, IMO at least.

Hmmm..... It´s sound pretty cool. Just too bad it´s a cartoon movie. :rolleyes:





:cool:

Less horror and more suspense, I'd say "Battle Royale" is definetely worth checking out. It's more action, but the execution of the premise is so twisted and so creepy to imagine being real, that there is a certain 'terror' tinge to it.

Less HORROR??? :confused:

I think you´re in the wrong place, honey. ;) :D


I´ve seen "Battle Royale". Thought it was very far out, but entertaining.
Okay asian movie, but i prefere the horror genre.


If you like more suspence than horror then watch "Saw". It´s nothing but.


Peace



:cool: :cool:

Check out two films by Shozin Fukui that just got released by Unearthed Films: Pinnochio 964 and Rubber's Lover. Pure insanity commited to celluloid. Both of these films manage to out weird Tetsuo, if you can believe that.

I did enjoy Phone, by the way. And the previous film Nightmare.

Thanks Mrshape.

Hmmmm.... I would rather watch "Tetsuo". That one sounds like the most horrific of those 3 mentioned. Is it good?

Some of my favorites are "Audition", "Tetsuo", "The Isle", "Tokyo Fist", "Versus", and "Suicide Club". All definitely worth checking out imho, though Isle isn't Japanes but rather Korean;)

You noticed that i was asking for HORROR movies, right?

Except for "Audition" & "Tetsuo", the titles sounds more like Drama/action movies than creepy horror movies.. :(


Im gonna have to check "Versus" out though. Could be entertaining.


Thanks! :cool:

Bump!:D

Re: Any new creepy japanese horror movies that i should know about?
 

Shutter ....imo very good. as I said in another jap thread, this film follows the other styles of jap horrors, but imo is better than most of the recent ones and on par with the ju-on series.

Face .....btw I've just received Face, so not watched it yet, but got it based on a couple of good reviews.

super film.

Cool. Thanks Shanks.

By the way, Was the fist movie you mentioned named "Shutter" or "IMO"?



:)

lol it was Shutter ..... imo is abbreviated 'in my opinion'


:)

Re: Re: Any new creepy japanese horror movies that i should know about?
 

Sooo........... Have you seen it now?............ How about now?:)

Re: Re: Re: Any new creepy japanese horror movies that i should know about?
 

not yet.... patience my good friend , patience lol



I might get round to watching it later this afternoon, if my little niece don't make too much racket with her toys, if not, then I will tonight.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Any new creepy japanese horror movies that i should know about?
 

Just ordered "Shutter" on Ebay. When i saw that cover i was sold.:D :cool:

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Any new creepy japanese horror movies that i should know about?
 

Dont buy "Whishing Stairs" it sucked...:(

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Any new creepy japanese horror movies that i should know about?
 

I already have. And yes, it sucked.:( :mad:

Ummm, you might want to try the movie "Living Hell"




it's supossedsly aabout a guy in a wheel chair who is caonfronted with a chainsaw killer who murder's his family. I havnt seen it, but the cover looked convincing.

guy in a wheelchair, screaming, covered in blood lol.

Agree... sounds and looks cool :cool:

don't remember any chainsaws

Well, was it good? Or do you have to be a TCM fan to like it?:(

Yeah, but it's way out there. A lot of people compare it to David Lynch's Eraserhead. It's very hard to describe, but it involves people turning into metal.

it's not bad

So you´re saying it´s not good?;)

doesn't live up to the hype of being the japanese texas chainsaw massacre

I´m definitely not gonna watch THAT one then. I´m not a TCM fan...:(

you don't have to be a tcm fan...nothing like it.

basic story - elderly woman and a mute female go to stay with relatives (including a disabled son) but are they who they say they are?

Yeah i read that on IMDB. But it sounds much more gross than scary...?:(

Re: Re: Re: Any new creepy japanese horror movies that i should know about?
 

just watched it earlier, it's ok, if you like scares I wouldn't get your hopes up. Its a mixture of the typical creepy girl with long hair and a killer guy. I'd rent it not buy it.
