Does any1 have good recommendations for Asian horror movies? Only hardcore horror fans answer. I'm sick of

Question

peeps saying the Exorcist and Halloween are scary movies, those are not scary at all, I have been discovering that the Asians have opened my eyes to things I never knew they could do on film and those films although at 1st boring and take forever to get to a pt..when they do, are truly horrifying and disturbing. Is there any other genres that some1 recommends that I haven't been exposed to or other Asian movies I can find that are hardcore? I am open to discovering new horror and my biggest love are vampires, and I have seen it all, looking for new 1's. Love a lot of the 80's movies
(Some of the movies I have seen)
Tale of Two Sisters, Tomie, The Audition, Dracula, Van Helsing, The Ghost, Old Boy, Koma, Vampires, Blade, Infection, Acacia, Vampire Journals, The Lost Boys, To Die For (Bram Stokers), Twins Effect, Near Dark, Dark Prince, Blood & Donuts, The Night Stalker , Salem's Lot, She hunts by Night, Fright Night
Innocent Blood, Interview With the Vampire , Embrace of the Vampire

Yes I do also love action movies like Kill Bill, haven't seen Ichi, will try to see if rentable...haven't seen Tell Me Something and I have seen Night Watch and have the Eye which was not scary to me, just bought it hoping it was good but didn't like it and Night Watch was interesting but was a bit all over. Thanks guys these are good will check out and if you have any other recommendations great!

Answer 1

...this 'hardcore Asian horror fan' has a hardcore Asian horror film suggestion, if you are willing to brave the venture...

Have you tried, of even heard of the "Guinea Pig" series?

...relentless, in-your-face, blood-curdling horror galore, with some of the most eclectic and bizarre characters set to celluloid....and graphic visuals and gore strong enough to make the bile rise to the surface...

The series includes:

1). "The Devil's Experiment"
2). "Flower of Flesh and Blood"
3). "He Never Dies"
4). "Mermaid in a Manhole"
5). "Androids of Notre Dame"
6). "Devil Woman Doctor"

...even more compelling, is the back story behind the making, and distribution of these films, involving several bannings in Japan, due to numerous documented copycat serial killers, who reportedly emulated several of the violent and monstrous acts in the films; there was also an incident involving actor Charlie Sheen, who reportedly checked out the films, and raised an unprecedented rally to prevent US distribution of the films, as he thought that they were genuine 'snuff' films!!! (Note: the film series HAS since been released on DVD in the US, under the 'Unearthed Films' label.)

I could go on and on about the eclectic and infamous history, regarding the "Guinea Pig" film series, but for the full detailed story, fell free to check out the attached webpage.

...for hardcore Asian horror, I really don't think you can possibly beat this!!! Trust Me!!!

Answer 2

1. 33 2. Male 3. Yes! 4. I find them amusing 5. Too many to list, but i lean more towards foreign/asian horror, mainly because of the suspense. Popular American horror tries to hard for the shock value. 6. in my pre-teens (8 or 9) 7. I like old school slasher films (but zombies hold a special place in my heart) 8. usually death and or suffering and or personal loss 9. I like haunted abandonned institutions i.e. hospitals, orphanages, asylums, prisons. Some place that is considered safe and full of people normally, but over the years has fallen into disrepair 10. Horror movies just don't scare me. When i go to one i see it to appreciate the effects and the filmmakers vision. and above all else a good story. I don't like scenes of gore and violence just for shock's sake. there needs to be a story and a plausible reason to have the shock elements there. I hope this helps.

Answer 3

Asian horror that's quite good

Suicide Club
Ichi the Killer
Versus
Evil Dead Trap
Baptism of Blood.
Junk (Asian zombie flick)

For Vampire movies check out Razorblade Smile--an English low-budget vampire flick. Lots of fun!

Answer 4

I really like Infection, The Eye, the Eye 2, The asian Darkwater, the Cure, my FAv is one called Newspaper of Terror, a.k.a. Premonition, but it isn't like the "premonition" that just came out. It had me hurling into bed and covering my head, and I'm over thirty ;-) You really can't go wrong with most Asian horror because those people know how to elevate mood and tension, and there is always more of a story.

Answer 5

Here are some interesting Japanese Horror films. I havent seen many chinese or Korean ones.

Versus: A low budget recipe for awsome: Zombies, forrest, Yakuzas, samurai swords, gunplay and Kung Fu, its not really scairy, but damn its awsome (also, the choragrapher of the fights also did the fights for Metal Gear Solid 4)
Kwaidan: a collection of japanese ghost stories
One Missed Call (ignore the remake)
Ringu was interesting, but not that scairy, the american film made it boring
Ju-on the grudge, which was creepier in japanese withouth the americans
Premonition (also avoid the american remake)
Carved (aka the split mouthed woman,...shudders)
Onibaba
Sweet Home (which was a RPG on the famicon/nintendo and was a slight inspiration for resident evil)
Parisire Eve, which inspired the games series
Jigoku (japanese hell, its a strange one)

Answer 6

Asian horror.....I would have to say The Eye. A girl gets surgery in her eye and she starts to see things while in the hospital. I part of it the other day and it freaked me out.

Answer 7

Asian, but not vampire related=Tell Me Something
Vampires, but not Asain (Russian)=Night Watch

Answer 8

Not so much horror as gorefest, but check out Ichi the Killer. Great Flick.

Answer 9

Try this website, not all of them are asian but the ones that are look pretty good
