Something about Asian horror
There are not very many films that scare the crap out of me anymore, but for some reason, I can almost always count on Asian horror to do so. I am not sure why this is, but my guess is that it has something to do with the films being less predictable for me than most American flicks. In every case where I've seen a Japanese original and an American remake, I far prefer the Japanese version and find it much scarier.
I watched A Tale of Two Sisters alone in the dark last night, and it was great. I think it helped that it was stormy outside and I could hear trees banging on the windows.

So far, The Ring is the only Asian horror I've seen that didn't do anything for me. All the others I've seen were scary and stayed with me for a few days.

Also they seem to have more of a nack for suspence, where U.S. horror seems to be more up front and in you face. I like both at times, but the asian horror films have more of a lasting effect.
