Does anyone else hate Asian horror?

[Master]

Or is it just me? It seems to be pretty popular, but for me these movies are all horrible. I read so many rave reviews about "The Eye" and then I watched it expecting a good and scary movie and it was complete crap. I'd say the same for just about every other Asian horror movie I've seen. I think that some people just think that they should like it because it is foreign. It's like paying more for shitty imported beer simply because it's imported...

Again...It depends on what you're into...There are different types of Asian horror, just like there are different types of American horror...


The Eye is NOTHING like 3 Extremes, Audition or Vampire Hunters (which are also, nothing like each other)

You can't just say that you hate ALL Asian horror movies (unless you've seen them ALL), anymore than you can say you hate ALL American horror movies...Unless you just don't care for horror movies to begin with...You certainly can't watch just one or two of ANY type of movie and decide that you don't like any of them...

you are completely correct in your point. I guess I was being a bit too vague. Of course, I have been severely let down with ALL of the Asian horror that I've seen up until this point!

I watched The Eye, The Grudge, Kairo, Ringu, Dark Water and a few others. Essentially all of the really popular ones, all of which I hated.

No, I haven't liked any of them. Everyone has their own opinion though, and I respect that.

Oldboy was really good, but it wasn't horror.
