I know some other asian horrors you might like.
I even know a good japanese horror GAME.
And no, it's not ju on. (even though that one is also pretty good.)

Great review, I definitely need to see it, I've only seen the two made for tv ones and I'm still baffled that when I was watching them, and that night when I went to sleep I was fine. But over the next week it developed into some kind of paranoid looking behind my back when alone stuff, it took almost 6 weeks for the originals to run their course through my mind. I shit brix, plainly said.

Nice review. I prefer the straight to video Ju On Curse. If you haven't seen it already check it out. I also recommend Nobuo Nakagawa's (director of Jigoku) Ghost Story of Yotsuya (1959). Still the best J horror film I've ever seen, really old and ahead of its time. He's like a Japanese Bava.

Nice review. The eastern approach to horror films tend to be better than the western for the best reason: atmosphere. It's been a long lost element in western horror films which has no sense of mood as they drift away from the likes of Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard and other such authors. Some of my personal favorite Asian horror films would be "Re-Cycle" which still is little disturbing... the only movie other than the Exocrist that I refuse to watch at night.

Hi, this is a great review, I love how you put in all those categories and gave them each a rating. Anyway I have a horror movie review blog, I just recently decided to concentrate only on asian horror since there's plenty of reviewers for everything else out there. I'm currently reviewing the Whispering Corridors series, so maybe check it out. sakurashinra. wordpress. com

good review i saw the american remake i bet the japanese one i much scarier
Bra-fuckin'-va!! Excellent job!! I didn't like the movie, (prefer The Eye) but that was a fan-freakin'-tastic review!! That must have taken forever to edit! I applaud your talent & your patience. I mean, you can't see or hear it, but rest assured I am clapping like I had six hands.

@Lostpilgrim0071 Thank you so much! :) It took about a month to review the film several times, come up with the script, film, edit, and upload. But I was also not completely focused on it. But yes, it did take a significant amount of time. Six hands? Sounds creepy...but cool! Haha. :D Thanks for the awesome comment. I'm working on Ju-On 2 review and it should be up Monday sometime!

Great review! I love the Juon series, but I have to say I prefer the original direct to video film 'Juon: The Curse'. While it is shot on video and as a result we don't get the depth of field, aspect ratio and other goodies associated with a 'cinematic' look, once you get past that, it is a chillingly effective ghost story. I would recommend this over the 'Grudge' series both remake and original Japanese versions (pssst it's on Youtube). Great vid, subbed and look forward to your other vids :)

@urface2nite I don't own the movie (yet!) but the series is great and I do have the four disc box set. I actually went on a spree the other day and watched them all, so a review is in the near future for it. :) Thanks for the comments and suggestions.
