J-horror films

ichikumo · (#1 (**permalink**))

Does anyone know of any good J-horror films? I've already see the ringus and Ju-on 1 and 2 also, Pulse (kairo). I think Living hell is a japanese remake of Texas chainsaw massacre and I've seen pulse also. Could anyone suggest some J-horror titles? Please? I'd deeply appreciate it!

Dark Water is good. You should also see Uzumaki.

I forgot to mention I saw Dark water. I didn't like it much. Is uzumaki any good? I also saw Gozu and it wasn't what I expected.

Gozu isn't really horror, and Uzumaki is freaky, but not necessarily scary is the "jumps out at you" way. I wouldn't have recommended it if I didn't think it was good.

You should go to this thread, it will give you a few ideas of some good horror movies.

I dunno, maybe you'd like "the eye".

I've seen the eye. I think the end really blew it for me.

Audition is one of my favorites. Try that.
I second MMM's recomendation of Uzumaki.
The Tomie Sereise is also good if you skip the first 2 films
And 3 Extremes is also excelent
One Missed Call is another good one
Death Note isnt really "horror" but a lot of people like it

Can you stomach a lot of gore?
If so, some really great, extreme violance/gore films are:
Koroshiya Ichi (ichi the killer), Guinea Pig (sereise), Imprint, Splatter: Naked Blood, Jisatsu Circle (Suicide Club), Battle Royale, MPD Phsycho, the Last Supper, the Hideshi Hino collection...

I hope this helps, if not I have a few more things I could recomend...
