I am a huge fan of Japanese Horror films I have seen my fair share (battle royal 1 & 2, Suicide Club, Hair Extensions [thanks to this site =P] est.) But i would absolutely love some suggestions. I am open for anything i adore the Japaneses films so yeah =-) Please help me out maybe even fashion some links to there locations on this site (of course you don't have to lol)

Also i am open to all other Japanese films, i love drama all that other stuff so if you guys have some non horror suggestions please throw those my way as well ^^

Thanks in advanced.

Have you seen Ju-on: The Grudge part 1 and 2 ?

I saw the American versions, are the Japanese versions better?

They are different, because they are japanese of course. But since you mentioned you like japanese movies - I think you will find them better.

have you ever seen a remake thats better than the original??

Odishon is good imo, but you shouldn't stick to japanese. thailand & korea also have a great share of good horrormovies

arang, gabal, apt, colic, krasue, lhorn, shutter, etc..the list goes on

Noroi, Ringu (of course), Kakashi was creepy, I know I've enjoyed more than those, but I can't think of any right now.

A very incomplete list:

Slow and creepy:
Kairo
Rinne
Ringu
Ju-On 1 & 2
Shutter
Lovesick Dead

Weird/amazing:
Tetsuo
Uzumaki
Ichi The killer
Gozu
Meatball Madness
Versus

Not Horror:
Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance/Oldboy/Sympathy for lady vengeance
Female prisioner scorpion (all 4)


Here's a good list : http://www.mandiapple.com/snowblood/index2.htm

Is this a different movie from Meatball Machine? Or is it the same movie?



Other movies not mentioned yet but worth watching, are:

Visitor Q
Wild Zero
The Story of Ricky (although that's Chinese, I believe)

Ooops, my mistake. it's the same movie.

Thank you so much guys i shall get to downloading and watching. Ichi The killer confused the hell outta me maybe i am just stupid.

There's a few non-Japanese movies on bicho's list, but they are all worth a go.

I don't post on here much but w/e I like Asian movies so can share a little with you.

Someone here recommended Tetsuo, well I saw that and didn't like it, too weird and boring., sorry. If anyone else has seen it tell me what you think cause I just didn't like it.

Miike Takashi's Audition is a classic, it's a horror movie as such but doesn't play out as one. If your downloading it and it's free then you've got nothing to lose.

Versus, it's a horror/zombie/action movie, playing more on the side of action. Gun-fu and some swords, an enjoiable movie but not going to scare or haunt you really. Alot of fun though.

Though not strictly Japanese or Horror, sorry I can't recommend Oldboy enough, excellent Korean cinema, part of the Vengance trilogy which someone previously listed.

Bio Zombie, is a chinese horror(zombie)/comedy, enjoiable and funny, not frightning.

Some of the movies I listed, they arn't Ring style creepy, because I don't like that type of movie, here are few I haven't seen but names that are thrwon around, oh and these are Asian, not just Japanese:
Tale of Two Sisters
The Eye
Dark Water
Phone
Ring Virus (Korean take on the ring)
JSA

They are in more of the Ring vein.

When I started out watching there wasn't loads about, I remember watching Asian titles like Blue Spring, Waterboys, Battle Royale, Dragon Head, I can't remember many more I'm afriad I was only about 13-14. I remember ordering DVD's from Yes Asia, The Twins Effect, a weird horror/comedy with Jackie Chan about vampires and stuff like that.

Well I hope the list helps, enjoi.

Oh yer sorry, Riki-Oh AKA The Story of Ricky as someone mentioned is really really good.

Oh yeah =p thanks guys i am downloading a shit load of these atm, i will be sure to check them all out.

Hell Nah dawg, let us know what you think son, maybe we can slice a few more your way.

I believe the movie is Thai but, anyway it is called 303 Fear, Faith, Revenge. Its not one of those typical long haired Jap ghost flicks. I also recommend Junk which was a pretty good asian zombie flick.

I've heard Junk is ment to be very good. I thought of another few movies I've heard of.

I mentioned Versus before, the same director, did Azumi about a samurai girl, I haven't seen it, it's ment to be good.

Godzilla Final Wars is another of his, I liked it but if you not a fan of monster movies then avoid it.

I got Stacy on DVD, think it's about a zombie fighting school girl. Ha

Godzilla Final Wars is the WORST Godzilla movie ever. If you want to watch G-movies, watch older ones. One of the newer ones I liked is Godzilla vs Biollante, but G: Final Wars is total shite.

Stacy is about schoolgirls turning into zombies and picking people who need to chainsaw them into pieces themselves while they're still alive. Stacy is recommended: good fun.

Audition is supposed to be freaky, I haven't Seen it but I've heard good things, and of course theres Godzilla. I'd recomend The original uncut gojira and it sequel Godzilla raids again both have good feels to 'em.

The only Godzilla I saw if Final Wars, if you have seen any other of Kitamura's movies they tend to be more style over substance, It worked for Versus (I think so) and I enjoi'd Final Wars, but haven't seen Azumi or such.

Watch Attack the Gas Station, it's Korean, it's funny and I really liked it.
