Without the benefit of search I can only scan a few pages for topics. Apologies if this is old.
Anyone watched any J-horror flicks? We all know about
The Ring and it's Japanese inspiration
Ringu. But there are many more in the genre. I recently watched
Ju-on and the horror is very understated-it's a lot more creepy horror than in your face scariness.
Another awesome film is
Odishon (Audition), the story of a middle aged man who meets a demure "classic" Japanese woman thru a mock film audition to interview potential mates he holds after his son tells his widower father he's looking old. Let's just say he doesn't get what he expects. It's very slow at the onset then it injects a few creepy elements along the way till the amazing climax. Not recommended for the light hearted.
I have a few others I haven't watched yet, but more info on J-horror films is
