I have seen alotttttttttttttttttt of japanese horror films and not one has scared me
alot of the times the plot is stupid and the movie is just a rip off of ju-on(another crappy japanese movie might even be more crappy then the american version )
but then there are some japanese horror movies that arent scary but are interesting/suspensful
I'm sure there are scary japanese horror movies out there that i havent seen yet
anyone here get what I mean?

Maybe you're just not easily scared...?
Has an American horror ever scared you? If not, maybe you're just not scared easily, or you're scared in a different way aside from movies all together.
Anywho, just because you aren't scared by JHorror, doesn't meant that others aren't as well. Just keep an open mind - maybe next time you watch a JHorror movie, decide why others might think it's scary, and think less of why you don't think it's scary =)

I sort of get what you're saying but I personally love Japanese horror films. I've seen probably close to 50 of them. A lot of them have the same ghost concept just like a lot of horror films in the U.S. are based off of vampires and werewolves and things like that. A lot of them are more sad than scary, but it just gets like that if you see enough of them. I've been looking for a movie lately that will really scare me instead of just making me sad, but I haven't found it yet.

But if you're bored with J-Horror than I strongly recommend watching some Korean horror movies. They have the same ghost concept too, but I've been noticing that I get slightly more afraid with Korean horror films.

I watched a couple Korean horror films. Those are creepy.

Yeah, they are.

Which ones did you watch?

The Eye and The Eye 2.

(I don't know if they're the creepiest, as they're the only ones I've seen)

I'm thinking I should watch more Jhorror films.

The Eye and The Eye 2 are Chinese not Korean

ah.... you're right. oops.... (sorry)

decided to do a search... cause I knew I had seen some.

found one.
Three... Extremes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(is there a Korean horror thread?)

The Three Extremes was Japanese, Chinese, and Korean.

And I'm not sure if there is a Korean horror movie thread or not o.O if not, I'm going to make one right now.

In relation to The Eye. Has anyone seen The Eye 10? It's basically about a few college friends who try to see ghosts. The number "10" is derived from the number of ways someone can see ghosts, not, in fact, the tenth in the series.
