Film Asian Horror Films

[Hoof the ball]

Just finished watching The Wailing yesterday. Great film!

Currently watching Noroi: The Curse.

Anyone into Asian horror? Any recommendations?

The only Asian horror film that I can remember (and also enjoyed) is A Tale Of Two Sisters. It's worth checking out if you haven't seen it. If zombie films also count then you must add Train To Busan to your list.

I think @Dirty Schwein is the horror expert in here. He even directs horror short films!

 

[FrankDrebin]

Yeah, The Wailing's good.

The HOST by Bong Joon ho is fun, though its more of a monster movie.

House (1977) is a fun, surreal and dizzy little horror film.

Oh, and Ringu ofcourse.

 

[SuperiorXI]

Off the top of my head The Eye is very good. Also worth checking out Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum.

 

[Jippy]

Seconding The Eye and Ringu, Ju-On (The Grudge) and Audition are classics.

 

[Scandi Red]

Audition

Oh that's a good one. Seriously disturbing too.

 

[Vidyoyo]

Dark Water is an underrated one

Whispering Corridors, A Tale of Two Sisters and Pulse are all great too

 

[Sky1981]

in No particular order

The Ring (Japanese one)
Jelangkung (Rizal Mantovani's)
Shutter (Legend they say)
The Medium (Thailand)
Incactation (Taiwan)

My favorite is : Rigor Mortis (HK by Juno Mak) it's not scary perse but the atmosphere and acting is very good, I even enjoy the drama bit and it's not even a drama it's horror packed from the beginning

Thanks for the tag @Scandi Red I have so many to recommend. Will do once I get back to my hotel.

Already some great recommendations here though. Rigor Mortis, Gonjiam, Dark Water etc are so much fun.

A thriller but I Saw The Devil.

 

[Dirty Schwein]

Some great suggestions so I won't repeat. Here are a few more:

Suicide Club
Marebito
One Missed Call
Satan's Slaves (1 & 2)
I Saw The Devil
One Cut Of The Dead (horror comedy)
23:59
Macabre
Ichi the Killer

Audition is great.

 

[Fingeredmouse]

Kairo (which is weirdly called Pulse in English) is good too.

 

[TheRedDevil'sAdvocate]

The Japanese film Audition from 1999 is another good one.

 

[DavelinaJolie]

Not sure where, but I've heard Audition is quite good.

 

[Bole Top]

Onibaba
Kwaidan

 

[Annihilate Now!]

If "I Saw The Devil" qualifies then "The Chaser" surely does.

Probably my favourite East Asian film.

 

[Munkehboi]

Ju-on (The Grudge) is good but the TV series is better IMO.

Ringu and a couple of it's sequels are good.

The Train to Busan, though really, it's a zombie movie but is fantastic.

 

[Dirty Schwein]

Everyone recommending Audition should consider that it's definitely not for everyone.

 

[Bole Top]

A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (Iran). it gets better the worse you feel at the moment of watching, I think. I'm a bit surprised it hasn't been mentioned already.
