I have recently decided to collect Asian horror movies and would like to know what everyone's favourites are? Which ones are the best in your opinion? Which are the scariest? ^.^

This will be my new favourite thread :D

Some that i watched recently

Noroi : The Curse, hands down the best creepiest ghost movie evar, About a village of devil worshippers can't go wrong with this one.

Shutter(2004) : do not watch the remake, watch the original, you will **** yourself

Tamami Baby's Curse : not scary at all just funny as hell.

Creepy Hide and Seek - the movie as whole is pretty crap but after you see that ending you'll never sleep again :D

Asian horror movies are not exactly scary by any means.
Still they are fun to watch and I own a few, notably Ju-on and the Ring series.

@ Ragna, I was going to get Shutter from [censored] but could not figure out which one was the original >< I will look for the Curse as well

@ Sinncross, I scare relatively easily do I enjoy Asian horrors, and even if they aren't that scary to some, they are at least way better than American horrors and American remakes lol >

Tale of Two Sisters was epic!
The remake was called "the uninvited" <- what a load of garbage.
I also enjoyed Dark Water, but mostly because the "horror" was sorta secondary.

I'm terribly out of it with a growing Asian movie library that has plenty of movies still to watch.

No self respecting J-Horror, nay, J-Cinema fan should go without watching the following though (adding to whats been mentioned already):

Ichii The Kiler
Battle Royalle
Tetsuo: The Iron Man
Happiness of the Katakuris
Azumi
Lady Snowblood
Gozu
Kairo
Versus

I see you mention Uzumaki, good man. Freaky as hell movie, but oh so tasty. Still creeps me out.

I have a few others... I remember seeing this really awesome Thai ghost story. Wish I could get hold it it but alas not possible.

I suppose I dont find horrors in general scary... i watch them more out of interest.

there are a few volumes of "tales of terror from tokyo"

its basically a compilation of A LOT of 5min to 10min or maybe even 15min horror stories from Japan. in my opinion a lot of it is very good.

oh and apparently alot of it is based on true events

I watched Doll Master & Shadow of the Wraith with Autumn recently ^^ Both not bad, but not super scary - I must still show her Art of the Devil 1 & 2 >;D


 
Whenever sang my songs
On the stage, on my own
Whenever said my words
Wishing they would be heard
I saw you smiling at me
Was it real or just my fantasy?
You'd always be there in the corner
Of this tiny little bar

My last night here for you
Same old songs, just once more
My last night here with you?
Maybe yes, maybe no
I kind of liked it your way
How you shyly placed your eyes on me
Did you ever know
That I had mine on you?

Eyes on Me - Final Fantasy 8
