I like old classics like The Shining. And also horrors like Hypnosis (Japanese), A Tale of Two Sisters (Korean), Shutter (Thai). I really want to watch The Coffin as well. I liked The Grudge 1-3 (American), and also The Ring, but I found the American remake of Shutter a real let-down

I recently watched the new 'THIRST' and 'Body #19'
Both quite a let-down...

Lightning@ Woahh, A Tale of Two Sisters is nice : D I'll have to say tho, that I find most American remakes of good Asian horrors to be massive let-downs.

Originals do tend to be the best

And as for Twilight... if I could turn back time, I wouldn't have wasted my time or money.

American remakes are so bad. Japanese directors really know how to scare people - I don't know why they even bother remaking them.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose is really creepy, I had trouble getting to sleep after watching it LOL.

@Lightning-
I think twilight is aimed mostly
at girls but there are some who will always not like it.
Twilight is actually a romance film.

@clairebear-
I believe I have seen it but it scared me so badly I had to leave the room
for the rest of the movie or maybe that was the Exorcist!
The first time I watched the American Grudge I barely made it through!
El Chupecbra(spelling…): Terror at Sea is a good movie.

I thought the first hollywood 'the ring' was better than the original, that is because of budget and because the original was relatively unknown. but now that the originals are more known there is no need to remake them. for some years, the japanese horror movies have been kicking the ass of the hollywood ones, in general.

True. When Americans try to remake original J-Horror masterpieces, It looks out funny....
