I just watched Ichi the Killer. Anyone seen it? Got everything a Jap horror fan wants - good acting, typical Japanese weirdness, plenty of violence and gore. Best Jap horror I've seen since Battle Royale.

If you're into this genre then it's a must see. :icon14:

Yea, that was a pretty good flick. I just watched 3 Extremes tonight, which was pretty good. They were more psycological thriller's, which is a nice break from all those flicks that just make you jump all the time.

hah... ever see Izo (title reminded me of it)... that movie is fucked.

dmmh

Battle Royal was the best horror movie I've ever seen. I need to go see the 2nd one. I heard it wasn't as good, but as long as it has the same amount of blood and gore the 1st one had then I'm set.

Ichi has far more blood and gore. Awesome torture scenes.

I don't really watch asian horror movies, but I do watch Asian Cinema movies allot.
I find them much better than mainstream hollywood stuff.

It has more human and emotion in it, and majority of the stories are meaning full.

But like hollywood's cars explode when touched, in Asian Cinema people tend to defy gravity,
that's a little weird in the beginning.

yeah, it was a pretentious art-film wank fest

There are few times when dmmh's presence would benefit a thread, this is one of those times.

havent seen Ichi. I think my fav jap horror is still the JuOn series *shudder*

Ichi the killer is more like a dark comedy than a horror... but yea, good shit.

I liked Audition. One of the most f'd up movies I've ever seen. :icon14:

There are certainly a lot of comedy elements to it, but it's way more of a horror than a comedy.

That's next on the list. :icon14:

Battle Royal was horror?

No, not at all... i'd call that a comedy as well. With the teacher and all. Goddamn was he a funny bastard.

As a fan of this stuff, here's my list of must see shit:

Audition
Battle Royale (Don't bother with the sequel)
The Eye
The Eye II
1-Ichi (Anime Prequel)
Ichi The Killer
JuOn
JuOn 2
OldBoy (not really horror but still fucked up)
Shutter
Suicide Club
Versus
Visitor Q

-Bean

The Eye is ok but it becomes more of a thriller halfway through

Eye2 busstop scene freaked me out though

Old Boy isn't horror, it's a good revenge movie. The director's first movie is the only one that is a little closer to horror, but it's still definately drama, and that's "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance" Mr., not Ms. That's a movie that will just leave you feeling horrible. I wouldn't call the director a one-trick pony, but it gets obvious the point he always tries to drive home is that revenge and violence beget eachother.

None of you dirtbags said anything to Law for saying, "Jap." ...................

I leave it to the mods to police ratial slurs.

No mention of the original "Ring" yet. It was genuinely creepy, although it's since been plagiarized to hell by Hollywood to the point where it's been spoilt for me.

The hollywood remake was so bad I couldn't understand what was going on, even though I'd seen the original.

Who's having a poke at ratios?

score 1 for drunk spelling.
