Just a messy series, it seems, from my little research.

i think there are far better films, than ringu or ju-on, in that subgenre. but they aren't ever gonna get vs. films for their characters

Whenever you have a moment, let me know which ones stand out to you. I've not seen a whole lot of J-horror, and I utterly hated some of them (though I looked up the two movies that came to mind, and one was from South Korea, the other from Taiwan), so any new movies might be welcomed.

the two i've found far above any others, so far, are a tale of two sisters and the eye. pulse is good too. i'll think on it, if any others come to mind to recommend.

it might just be that that subgenre doesn't work for you though. some people don't like ghost films. some people don't like zombie films. it could be that kind of thing, here.

Slashers or GTFO.

Speaking of which, one of the few Asian slashers I've seen (Bloody Reunion or To Sir With Love, either name seems to be known) was pretty solid stuff. Wouldn't mind more of that from that side of the world. Must not have near as large a hold on their respective cultures as it does here, though.

Still a few weird sex scenes.

In the UK it’s not free to watch. Pain in the ass.

Pray tell, when was the last time you went into a new werewolf movie and were happily surprised? Really good werewolf movies seem few and far between, in my (admittedly limited) view.

DancesWithWerewolves wrote:Last good one was basically the Wolfman remake from 2010. I still like watching them, hoping something might turn out good, and there are decent ideas out there...that usually lack the talent or budget to back it up.

Howl was sorta decent though.
