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.

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.

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. Casting a former NFL player...

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 style. The only problem I...

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 edge.

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 this. Watch this if you...

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 different story than the...

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 entertainment-wise. Worth a watch,...

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 if you're into it as...

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 waiting an hour for the horror...

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 atmospheric music and strange...

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.

Paranormal Activity 2: Tokyo Night

Awaiting Release

Japanese

Toshikazu Nagae

Follows a Japanese exchange student, who returns home after visiting San Diego and unwittingly brings the evil from the first film into her family’s house. The film chronicles the young woman’s videotape recordings in...

Resident Evil: Damnation

In Production

English

Makoto Kamiya

No official plot yet, but it's said to focus on Leon S. Kennedy.

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've seen them all.

Ringu (1998)

Hideo Nakata

Very cool Japanese horror flick; Has some weird, creepy moments and really makes ya think; Original story and excellent ending. I recommend this to all you horror fans out there that are tired of the same old American...

Awaiting Release

Japanese

Tsutomu Hanabusa

Akane is a high school teacher who hears a rumor from her students that there is actual footage on the Internet of someone's suicide. The footage is said to drive anyone who sees it to also commit suicide. Akane does...

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.

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.

The Incite Mill

Awaiting Release

Ten people gather together after reading an advertisement offering a job that pays 112,000 Yen ($1,236 USD) per hour. The ten people then find themselves confined in a building and forced to partake in a murdering game. They...

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.

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.

Vampire Hunter D (1985)

Toyoa Ashda

One of my favorite animes. Filled with interesting characters, lots of blood, and a cool story; this anime is sure to please.

Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (2000)

Yoshiaki Kawajiri

If you're into Japanese animation or a fan of the first Vamp D movie, then you'll really enjoy this movie as I did. I definitely recommend this movie.

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 and John Woo-type action...

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 out!
