Recommendations For Japanese And Hong Kong Horror Movies!
I just recently viewed "The Ring" which is about a video tape with strange images that people would watch and after watching it they would receive a call telling them they would die in a week! this movie was real creepy!!
I also have seen "Battle Royal" which is about this class room of kids sent to this island by the goverment and they would each be given a bag with a weapon in it and they would have to fight to the death until there was only one of them left!! Very graphic!!
I have also seen "Sakuya" , a good fantasy period horror movie!
Is there any recommendations for any other horror movies for me to see?? Could you also breifly tell me what it is about?
thanks!
Marlon

I was wondering......these sound good, but I'm not Japanese. So, do you think it's worth it for me to get these titles. I mean the pics look scary and just from what you guys said.

JAPANESE HORROR
DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT THE JAPANESE HORROR FILM "VERSUS" AND "WILD ZERO" IS ABOUT?
I WENT TO DRAGONCON IN ATLANTA,GA AND FOUND THEM SELLING THE RING, THE RING 2, AND RING 0 (THE BEGINING OF THE SERIES!). RING 2 WAS A LITTLE CREEPY. THEY WHERE ALSO SELLING COPIES OF "BATTLE ROYALE"! ITS ABOUT JAPAN MAKING A LAW WHERE THEY WOULD PUT A BUNCH OF STUDENTS ON AN ISLAND WITH EACH GETTING A BAG OF AN UNKNOWN ITEM AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO FIGHT UNTIL THERE WAS ONLY ONE SURVIVOR! IT WAS VERY GRAPHIC AND VIOLENT AND I HAVE HEARD IT WAS BANNED IN CERTAIN COUNTRIES!
HAS ANYONE ELSE SEEN IT OR KNOW WHERE I COULD GET A DVD COPY?

Japanese horror/zombie movies: any reccomendations?
Stumbled onto this site and been flipping through the reviews. Man some of them sound good. Uzumaki, Wild Zero, Versus and other Japanese Zombie horror flix. Anybody know where to get some of the Japanese horror titles?

for pure horror, but not zombie films...
most everyone agrees that Battle royale and ring are freaking awesome.
Battle Royale is a gore fest that's just totally different from any movie in recent memory. similar concept to lord of the flies
ring is awesome horror that gets in ur mind, plus you'll never watch tv after seeing it = o )

I'll definitely second that Ring is by far one of the scarriest films I've ever seen. I ususally don't scare too easily, I watch lots of horror, but this one's gotta take the cake.
As for zombie/horror, I read on asiandvdguide.com forum, that Junk and Versus are two very good ones.
