Think of Asian horror flicks like The Eye, Ringu (or The Ring), Dark Water, and The Grudge; now compare them to American horror movies like The Devil's Rejects, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, House of Wax, and Wrong Turn (I'm trying to think of the most popular titles for easy comparison). Which scare you more, and why?

Asian.. like Thailand, Japanese, Chinese, Korean. because most of the ghost folklores stories from them LOL. and the directors are really really know how to play with viewers emotion.. those american horror movies are mostly just about MURDERS, KILLINGS human by human. try compare with spirits like 6th sense, exocise of emily (and sort of spirit devil movies) i think asian and American both are good..

Depends what you're afraid of.
Generally, American horror movies are more human vs. human. The characters usually go against some physco.
In Asian movies, it's some possesed child.
For me, Asian movies are too scary. American movies aren't as scary. So, I think AMerican ones are scarier.

Asian horror. American psychological movies are scarier though. Have you seen Psycho by Hitchcock? That's horror.

Asian horror movies produces best horror, honestly, yes I'ma Korean but half US too, I have lived in US for four years and watched tons of horrors, but it's so boring and it's always kind of the same, but not Asian horror, it's daebak and scary and also very heart touching.

Because Americans have a short attention span for anything that doesn't feature non-stop action and gore. "Demonic" activity and imagery has become a crutch for directors that allows them to avoid the challenge of creating an interesting antagonistic force in a movie's story and the fact that all of main characters are the same in every film doesn't help make the genre any more interesting either. The scariest movies, indeed the greatest movies, are the ones that focus on reaching the viewer's soul: our darkest fears, and our secret desires, our most basic behaviors. Not a bunch of non-characters that get killed off in a formulaic way by the boogyman in a badly lit room in less than 90 minutes.
