Yeah, I think they're smarter, more atmospheric, more suspenseful than a lot of American ones. It's the 'why' in the Japanese (and Asian) horror that always lands harder--so many American horrors, the killer is just crazy, or has mom issues, or something simple and mundane. A lot of the best Asian horrors have something solid behind them--revenge, justice, something meaty.
I loved Shutter--the Thai version and the Masayuki Ochiai version. Prime example--something dark from out of his past that haunts him, not just some random violence. Made my own 'spirit photo' like in the movie on their DVD release site: Shutter Ended up seeing the photo in a banner ad when I was checking an Evite! |

I dunno why I keep bringing this movie up, but has anyone seen the Ring spoof in Scary Movie 4?

the "scary movies" have their funny parts but overall I think they're kinda dumb. Most of those spoof movies are stupid and really the only ones I like are the Lesli Neilson movies(hilarious).

Indeed. But, the little Grudge boy and main blond speaking Japanese were funny.
