I like Joyu-Rei and Mizuchi.

i saw a poster for a new movie, mirrors i think its called, here in america. Dose anyone know if its based off a japanese movie

I dont know the name in japanese but here in the USA its called Audition crazy movie i love it!!!

^^ i just watched audition on youtube, it was kinda boring, kinda gross, but all interesting at the same time. but i dont think its really worth watching. it isn't a scary movie!

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.

What about that film "EXTE: Hair Extensions"?
Apparently its about some crazy evil hair..??
(please forgive me if this has already been repeated..)

someone recommend premonition, i dont think it was a scary movie, but it was very intriguing and interesting concept. like a smart movie. I recommend it highly. also the main actress is very pretty, and its all on youtube already. have fun
