What are your favorite Japanese Horror movies?

@lovinglolisa 2 года назад

Definitely Dark Water. Not just for the horror but also the emotions it hit me with whilst watching.

@JuanAbril1030 2 года назад

Noroi the Curse was really good, it gives Lake Mungo feels and it's creepy atmosphere!

Ringu for sure. I also have a soft spot for Ringu 0

Watched half of this list (including Kairo on the viewers' selection). "Dark Water" surprised me the most because it made me feel for the protagonist. The other half are already on my watchlist for a long time. 😅

Yeah Dark Water is very sad. The mother sacrificed her life and death for the daughter.

Cure is great, could not get that ending out of my mind for days... But I wish you picked Pulse instead (even though it is not strictly a horror movie).

@REChronic54 2 года назад

Ju-on is a pretty good intro into J-Horror. It traumatized me as a kid but having watched it again as an adult, the makeup effects made me realize that it was a lot less scarier than I had made it out to be. But still very eerie though.

@jeffbrownstain 2 года назад

I've never seen the US version of Ju-On and when I watched the original when I was younger I had no idea what I was expecting. I'm not really a fan of the horror genre as a whole but I can say for a fact that my experience of Ju-On in my formative years contributed greatly to my overall taste in media as an adult. People who overhype movies are kinda dumb but I honestly think there are some films that every person needs to watch in their life, and this was one of them. Regardless of what you get out of it, it's certainly a masterpiece of cinema.

I used to watch horror movies and play scary video games with a Neighboor when i was a kid, he was a little older than me, and he was starting to get into Japanese Horror Films. After he showed me Ju-On, i didn't came back to that house for weeks, i spent years feeling Kayako behind my neck, that movie is insanely terryfing for me.

Hideo Nakada is the director of RING, which introduced the trend of J-Horror. He's a cinephile. the TV video scene was inspired by Cure, and the rendition of the haunting scene was taken from "Videodrome" and Andrei Tarkovsky "Mirror." This Sence In fact, it is a scene that does not exist in the original novel. You can see how cinephile he is.

@horrorpill 2 года назад

Noroi The Curse is good, despite some flaws. The way it was arranged movie wise, we too act as a detective along with Kobayashi and his cameraman. Because we follow and see everything just like we are a part of the paranormal team with Kobayashi as the leader, we feel the unsettling atmosphere that he and the cameraman feel. The audience engagement was what made this movie stayed in my mind.

YES! I'm so glad that Perfect Blue gets the top pick!!! Perfect Blue is hands down my favorite horror movie. It's absolutely amazing, and it's such a satisfying watch.

They might not exactly be horror, but Suicide Club and Noriko's Dinner table are some of the finest horror movies I've ever seen.

Takashi Miike's _The Happiness of the Kataguris_ (loosely based on the South Korean film _The Quiet Family_ which you featured in your Korean Horror video) is, dare I say, even more insane than the original. Wikipedia describes it as, "surreal horror-comedy in the farce tradition, which includes claymation sequences, musical and dance numbers, a karaoke-style sing-along scene, and dream sequences."

@AJadedLizard Год назад

My local public library system at least used to have copies of a bunch of old Japanese classics (it was through them I first saw Seven Samurai and Yojimbo, among others). To my surprise, they also had Kwaidon and House, the latter of which did not so far as I remember have subtitles, which was...interesting.

I think Kairo does the same thing that ringu or Ju On but in a very original way, and It has some of the scariest scenes I´ve ever seen, also I think that noroi does very good with the found footage thing, but in terms of horror and scary moments, they are at the very end.

Inunaki Mura (Howling Village) 2020 wasn't bad too. It's been long haven't seen a great jhorror movies and good jhorror movies are very hardly made these days. Howling Village was kind of watchable and it's from Shimizu Takashi, same director of Original Grudge Ju-On. He's movies are kind of hit and missed after the success of The Grudge. Howling Village though he did kind of right. I recommend to those looking for recent Japanese horror movie.
