im new to the genre. the only foreign films i own so far are audition and the tale of 2 sisters. ive heard good stuff about ichi the killer. anything with gore is good. i like samurai stuff and creepy horro flicks that make u think. people have recommended spider forest and wishing stairs. amazon reviews are worthless. the same amount of people say they hate the movie as ppl that say they liked it. i dont know where i can actually find j-horror to rent so i only want ones worth buying. and no spoilers >)

Tetsuo the Iron Man is pretty trippy...in black and white, but plenty of gore, and you're definitely going to think. I haven't seen them, but have always heard good things about the original Japanese versions of the Ring (the American versions are remakes, and generally considered inferior)...if you want something seriously sick, though it's not easy to track down, try the original Guinea Pig...some of the old Hong Kong Category III flicks are off the hook as well...if you can get Ebola Syndrome or The Untold Story for starters...and yeah, the Ichi (Zatoichi, maybe) films are pretty good

I love foreign horror films they are alot better than whats coming out of Hollywood imo. Ones I liked were Into the Mirror, R Point, Bangkok Haunted among ones already mentioned by others here. A good site to look at is www.tartanvideo.com if you want to buy and have a look at the Tartan Asia Extreme part of the site

Infection and Eye 2 are also really good. Also, get Pulse. The J-horror one is SOOOOO much better than the crap one they just put out in theaters!! If you want something really different, try the Battle Royale series. I really thought those were a trip!

Ichi the killer is a classic, Battle Royale and suicide circle aren't really horror, but gory, twisted, and violent. The guinea pig films are sick if you can find them.

Asian Horror recommendation of the day: Shutter, from Thailand. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0440803/ ) - good, traditionalist, creepy and scary stuff. Comes with English subtitles.

korean movie "the phone". you have got to see this.
japan movie "ju on" is also a good one, but the storyline weren't that good. a bit absurd i say.

I don't know what J-Horror means, but have you seen the movie "Hostel"? That is one gorific flick.
