I absolutely love foreign horror films and content. It's definitely a completely different genre than mainstream horror and seems to always be more liberal and graphic to me, which I love. My guy and I got into Japanese Horror a few years ago and I absolutely love it.
Even if a certain film doesn't make complete sense or has a random and unexpected ending, I still enjoy and always get something out of it.
It amazes me how many great horror projects from Japan have come out and have been remade into Americanized films. Some remakes include, "The Ring," "The Grudge," "One missed call," and more. I've seen most of the remakes and believe me, the original Japanese versions are much better. I definitely recommend checking out Japanese horror flicks if you can.
Here are some of my strange, bizarre, faves. I recommend these to all horror lovers. One more thing, Japanese horror can be very gory which is hot a lot of times. It's a completely different experience than watching American remakes or mainstream work. Enjoy this crazy insane flicks.
I'm a HUGE fan of Japanese, and Asian horror in general! Some of my favs are Audition, Ichi the Killer, Vistor Q,and The Machine Girl.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Gio. America really hasn't had any good horror ideas since the 80's. We need to remake Asian horror films just to satisfy the horror genre here in the states.
ReplyDeleteI think it was Norway who make "Let The Right One In" and we remade it to "Let Me In"... why??? I have no idea. They should of left that one alone.
So how do I share photos on this blog or only you can post photos? New at the this blog stuff :)
