Japanese Horror

Post by upekah »

Hey Guys ,

As I am really into Horror films and recently discovered kind of a japanese horror film called "REC" , I am wondering if some of you guys are into that stuff and could tell me some of their favourite films to check out...

P.S: I don't wanna use this forum as an outlet to ask if some of you guys like something or not.. , It's just hard to catch up quality things without knowing anything that much

cheerio!

Salo, Def. SiiiiiicK!!! Not Horror though. Good stuff if u like sh!t-eaters.

Check out a film called "Come and See" Real life horror. I have quite a high tolerance for disturbing imagery. I'm into "hard" film, so to speak, but I had to stop this one to take a break and gather myself. Also, "Irreversible", but u probably seen that.

For gore and monster type horror check out "Imprint", real nasty Japanese flick with sick torture scenes and a junked-out(real-life) Billy Drago. Another good one is "Audition". Also Japanese with a hot Jap girl inflicting unimaginable pain and torture. Good times.

Also some good psychological type stuff or again more realistic type horror, "Girl Next Door", and the Romanian film "Them" <---- this one will have u squealin' and huggin' ur hello! kitty pillow by the opening scene.

All these movies are on net flix by the way.

Enjoy

REC is spanish no? ;) Great movie, scared the sh!t outta me.

Also check Takashi Miike's filmography for some really disturbing yet gripping experiences, specially his 'Visitor Q' - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0290329/.

Also the 'August Underground' three-parter is supposed to be of the most twisted kind - like really disturbing - but I still haven't seen them. Not sure if I have the guts/stomach either.
