13: Game of Death (2006) Chukiat Sakveerakul A surprisingly good and overlooked Thai horror flick. Creative and unpredictable, the film kept me glued to the screen from start-to-finish. Worth a check for something new and original. |
|||
|
2LDK (2002) Yukihiko Tsutsumi A solid thriller that isn't very far from reality. Check this out if you're looking for something original, but don't expect a whole lot of violence until towards the end. |
|||
|
A Blood Pledge (2009) Jong-yong Lee Aside from certain aspects of the story, this movie isn't really worth checking. If you're no stranger to Asian horror then you've pretty much seen this movie already, especially if... |
|||
|
A Tale of Two Sisters (2003) Ji-Woon Kim A good ghost story. Has creepy scenes and good performances with an interesting story. Worth a watch if you like supernatural ghost flicks, but remember that it is a slow-paced flick. |
|||
|
Battle Royale (2000) Kinji Fukasaku This is one of the best films I've ever seen and ranks high in my favorite films of all time. It's very innovative, controversial, and highly entertaining. You have got to see this. |
|||
|
Bedevilled (2010) Chul-soo Yang Bedevilled isn't for everyone -- it's a drama for a majority of the running time, giving us proper development of these characters and enough reason for the viewer to want them to die. Once... |
|||
|
Bestseller (2010) Jeong-ho Lee Bestseller is a decent flick that blends the supernatural and mystery sub-genres together, but not without its drawbacks, as the film's writing does suffer a bit because of it. However, I did... |
|||
|
Bio-Zombie (1998) Wilson Yip Basically this film had some cool moments here and there and delivered a lot of good comedy. If you're looking for a good zombie film though, I don't really recommend this. If you want... |
|||
|
Cello (2005) Woo-cheol Lee You’ve seen one South Korean horror flick, you've seen'em all. This really is no different, even if it does try to add more story than its predecessors. Despite it all, once more details... |
|||
|
Chaw (2009) Jeong-won Shin Chaw turned out to be a disappointing creature feature to come out of South Korea. The movie is mostly just a comedy with minor horror and dramatic elements thrown in. Because of the constant shift... |
|||
|
Death Bell (2008) Director Chang The film starts off as a ghost flick, which turns into a semi-torture feature and ends up as a standard who-done-it slasher. It clearly suffers from an identity crises, but still kept me entertained... |
|||
|
Death Note (2006) Shusuke Kaneko Interesting and highly entertaining, this film proves that original movies can still be made, but once again leave it to Japan to do it. Highly recommended. |
|||
|
Death Note: The Last Name (2006) Shusuke Kaneko Equally as good as the first film, and offers new twists and ideas that weren't touched on before. Check this out! |
|||
|
Devilman (2004) Hiroyuki Nasu After the long wait I had to endure after its release in Japan back in October of '04, I am severely disappointed. Not only was the story a huge mess, but the acting and leads were horrible.... |
|||
|
Dream Home (2010) Ho-Cheung Pang Despite some pacing issues at times, Dream Home is a refreshing take on the normally tired sub-genre and not only offers an interesting concept behind the killings, but also gives us a lot of gory... |
|||
|
Evil Dead Trap 2 (1991) Izô Hashimoto A worthless boring sequel. Not much of a relation to the first movie. Had some decent blood and gore though. Not recommended. |
|||
|
Exte: Hair Extensions (2007) Sion Sono The film's creative premise and original deaths keep the viewer glued to the screen. We're also delivered some decent effects and a couple gags here and there as part of Sion Sono's... |
|||
|
G.P. 506 (2008) Su-chang Kong This was an interesting take on the zombie sub-genre that turns the usual mold into a thick character and story-driven mystery. Worth a check if you like a good story, but look elseware if you want... |
|||
|
Ghost Mother (2007) Tharathorn Siripanwaraporn Although the flick suffered an identity crises and the story wasn't the most original, it kept my interest and delivered some creative and bloody deaths. I could've done without some of the... |
|||
|
Hansel & Gretel (2008) Pil-Sung Yim This was a creative genre effort that blends little dark fairy-tale-like elements to keep things fresh and interesting, however, the film also suffered from slow-pacing, with many of the scenes... |
|||
|
Ju-On (2000) Takashi Shimizu A good movie, but not as scary as many has made it out to be. The story is well done and it does manage to have some creepy scenes, but it's low-budget cheesy ghost sounds ruin it's scary... |
|||
|
Ju-On 2 (2000) Takashi Shimizu Not as good as the first movie, but still decent. The first 40 minutes of the beginning is basically the last 40 minutes of footage from the first film, so you may feel a bit cheated when you see... |
|||
|
Ju-On: The Grudge (2003) Takashi Shimizu Slightly better than the original, but only in terms of scares. A little over hyped with all the claims that it's a really scary flick, but it does have a lot of creepy moments. Pretty much a... |
|||
|
Ju-On: The Grudge 2 (2003) Takashi Shimizu A good follow-up of the previous film. Manages to give some creepy scenes and new stuff the original didn't offer. First is superior in the scares department, but I liked this better... |
|||
|
Junk (2000) Atsushi Muroga One of the better zombie films I've seen recently. Those Japanese people really know how to make a good horror film. If you're a fan of the Resident Evil series, you'll love this movie. |
|||
|
Kairo (2001) Kiyoshi Kurosawa This is yet another good horror movie to come out of Japan. It has a lot of innovative and creepy scenes. The concept is also very good. It's almost 2 hours so it has a lot of slow moments, but... |
|||
|
Kakashi (2001) Norio Tsuruta Good film, but not something you'd really expect. More of an actor-driven movie with a very good plot that leads to a whacked out ending. Not really recommended unless you don't mind... |
|||
|
Living Death (2009) Yong-Joo Lee Surprisingly good movie that should please fans of Asian Horror or those just looking for another take on possession. The flick offers an interesting premise and some fairly creepy scenes. Worth a... |
|||
|
Loner (2008) Jae-Shik Park Can you say "A Tale Of Two Sisters"-wannabe? Loner wants to be more than it is and ends up being anything but good. It's a pathetic drama with a couple of horror scenes thrown in for... |
|||
|
Memento Mori (1999) Tae-Yong Kim, Kyu-Dong Min A good movie with an excellent story. More drama through most of the film until towards the end when its horror aspect is revealed. A good watch if you're not easily bored and you're... |
|||
|
Memories of Murder (2003) Joon-ho Bong A very good South Korean crime/thriller that keeps you guessing from start to finish. Definitely worth a check if you're into Asian flicks or just starting up. Check this out!... NOW! |
|||
|
Murder (1993) Lawrence Cheng A HK movie that has a good story and directing. If you like Asian films then I suggest you check this underrated gem. |
|||
|
Nang-Nak (1999) Nonzee Nimibutr Good Thai horror film, with an excellent story. Don't bother looking for this unless you're really only seeing it for the story behind it and not the horror aspect, because then you'll... |
|||
|
Noroi (2005) Kôji Shiraishi The film's story is told in a realistic documentary style and forces the viewer to pay attention to detail, as we put together clues along-with the journalist. That, combined with the eerie... |
|||
|
One Missed Call (2003) Takashi Miike A tired theme, but an enjoyable movie. Same-old scare tactics, but with some interesting new twists. Recommended, but don't go in expecting a whole lot. |
|||
|
Phone (2002) Byeong-ki Ahn A decent Korean horror film. Kept my interest and had its moments, but don't expect to get any good scares out of this. Worth a check if you're into Asian horror. |
|||
|
Rahtree: Flower of the Night (2003) Yuthlert Sippapak The film successfully blends a few different genres together and delivers quite a few weird and funny characters to keep us entertained. The story was simple, yet effective, and I had a good time... |
|||
|
Ring 0: Birthday (2000) Norio Tsuruta A somewhat of a let down in the RING series. Expected a lot more, but ended up with a tragic love story. If you're a fan of the series, then check this one out just so you can see that you'... |
|||

|||
|
Say Yes (2001) Sung-Hong Kim Pretty cool Korean thriller in the vein of The Hitcher. I say if you enjoyed the 80s Hitcher movie that you'll enjoy this. |
|||
|
Scared (2005) Tharathorn Siripanwaraporn Despite the plot-holes and dubious first bits, Scared turned out to be a fun gory slasher. The deaths were surprisingly brutal and creative, which is really the only reason for watching this movie.... |
|||
|
Seance (2000) Kiyoshi Kurosawa A good horror film with some decent creepy scenes. It does run a little slow and turns into somewhat of a drama later on, but it's worth a watch at least once. |
|||
|
Sector 7 (2011) Ji-Hun Kim Sector 7 is yet another failed attempt at recreating the success of The Host, and instead, giving us a SyFy-esque creature feature in terms of story and effects. Despite all that, the movie kept my... |
|||
|
Shutter (2004) Banjong Pisanthanakun, Parkpoom Wongpoom This is a solid Thai ghost flick that's an interesting mixture of The Eye and Ju-On: The Grudge. Definitely worth a check if you're into Asian horror. |
|||
|
Silk (2006) Chao-Bin Su A good original supernatural horror film that also delivers a little mystery and sci-fi aspects that we don't normally see in the genre. Worth a check. |
|||
|
Sisily 2km (2004) Jeong-won Shin If you're looking for an entertaining Asian horror-comedy, then let this be it. Interesting characters and good humor. Definitely recommended. |
|||
|
Suicide Club (2002) Shion Sono A good movie that plays around with the uncommon theme of suicide. Interesting, original and loaded with blood and gore. I recommend checking this out. |
|||
|
Tell Me Something (1999) Yoon-Hyun Chang Compared to such films as Silence of the Lambs and Seven, but doesn't really live up. Though, it's a good film none-the-less. Check this movie out and pay attention to the many plot twists. |
|||
|
The Eye (2002) Oxide Pang, Danny Pang Now one of my favorite movies. Good scares; freaky ghosts. |
|||
|
The Eye 2 (2004) Oxide Pang, Danny Pang A failed sequel to a great horror flick from Hong Kong. Although it does have its moments, it doesn't compare to the originality and creativity of the first. Worth a check if you're a fan... |
|||
|
The Haunted House Project (2010) Cheol-ha Lee This proved to be a disappointing POV "found footage" flick to come out of South Korea. There was potential, especially with the creepy location, but instead of attempting any creativity,... |
|||
|
The Host (2006) Joon-ho Bong Finally a monster movie done right. Not focusing on scares or a completely ridiculous plot, the film is packed with drama, comedy, cool sequences and an awesome and original creature. Check this baby... |
|||
|
The Quiet Family (1998) Ji-woon Kim A fun and simple dark comedy that works thanks to the talented director and cast of characters. Worth a check. |
|||
|
The Record (2001) Kim Jong Seok Pretty much a Korean remake of I Know What You Did Last Summer. Had its moments, but wasn't anything special. Don't bother with this. |
|||
|
The Red Shoes (2005) Yong-gyun Kim An above-average South Korean horror film that takes a predictable and unoriginal storyline to interesting new heights. With the use of bloody deaths and a somewhat fast pace, the movie should please... |
|||
|
The Ring 2 (1998) Hideo Nakata Not as good as the original, but still pretty good. Some really good creepy scenes in it. Recommended if you saw the first film. |
|||
|
The Wig (2005) Shin-yeon Won If you can look past it's somewhat silly premise, you'll find that it's a surprisingly good and sometimes even creepy flick. Worth a check. |
|||
|
Thirst (2009) Chan-wook Park A good flick if you know what you're getting. This isn't your standard vampire tale, as writer/director Chan-wook Park gives us a film with many layers to it, and is more of a character... |
|||
|
Uzumaki (2000) Higuchinsky One of my favorite Japanese horror films. Very original story. Has some freaky scenes and stuff that I've never seen before. Check this out. |
|||
|
Versus (2000) Ryuhei Kitamura One of the best and most entertaining Japanese films I've ever seen; simply two hours of pure entertainment. It has sweet ass action sequences with loads of gore. If you're a fan of zombies... |
|||
|
Visible Secret (2001) Ann Hui Good movie with haunting music and great visuals. It had a weird plot, but a good story behind it. There’s a lot of nice humor to lighten up the mood, but the bad thing about the movie is the... |
|||
|
Visible Secret 2 (2002) Abe Kwong Worth a check if you're a fan of Hong Kong horror, but don't expect a lot of scares. I recommend just checkin' the first film and skipping this one |
|||
|
Voice (2005) Ik-hwan Choe Voice is a big step up from the last sequel in the Whispering Corridors series and succeeds brilliantly as a powerful and gripping drama. However, as it fails as a horror flick, the end result is... |
|||
|
Voices (2007) Ki-hwan Oh Loaded with a creative premise, lots of blood, and violent deaths, this proved to be a fun watch from the start. Although it doesn't offer much in terms of story, the delivery and overall... |
|||
|
Whispering Corridors (1998) Ki-Hyung Park A good story, but too slow and has a lack of good scares. Worth a check if you've seen the other Whispering Corridor films, or if you can get a hold of it cheap; otherwise don't bother. |
|||
|
Wild Zero (2000) Tetsuro Takeuchi Very cool Japanese flick. It's got it all - tits, zombies, rock n' roll, magic powers, alien takeovers, gore, comedy. If you're a fan of Troma or of zombies in general, check this film... |
