I still like Japanese Horror, Smartt even when it is confusing because it has a genuine creepy feel to it, I don't really know what the hell is going on in Evil Dead TRap but it still creeped me the hell out. Not asian- but on the subject of horror- youy guys might want to check out a little known flick called Mute Witness- it used to be 5 bucks in the walmart bin but don't let that fool you it was a good one. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110604/

You are right Rob Ichi is great, a little confusing but great.
One Japanese horror you might like is Evil Dead Trap it is extreme and freaky.
Just watched Evil Dead Trap 
Thank God the sun's coming up, cuz I'd be still checking under beds, in closets with a baseball bat. Lots of great moments, and the ending WTF?  Great recommendation.  I thought I'd seen it all till the bullet time moment in City of Lost Souls. Man, I need to catch up with this stuff.  Also saw the first Dead of Alive and worth picking up, the next two installments will be picked up soon. Smartt mentioned Versus, as well, I'll pick that up too (I think it's a zombie flick). Sorry, this feels like a +1 post. I'll try to return the favor with some good recommendations.  I guess just thanks for the recommendations.

I liked Versus quite a bit- check it out, the action never stops in it.
I just watched a Korean Drama called Bad Guy- man if the main character was real he would certainly win the title of King of the Bastards. He conceives of a plan to get a college girl into prositution just because she told him to get lost on a park bench. Very heavy flick but the lead actor was excellent in it.

Let me add a few more movie titles to this thread.
Oldboy - Drama about a man held prisoner in a hotel room for 15 years. He's released and must find out why. Directed by Chan Woo Park(JSA)
Three... Extremes - A trilogy of horror movies from Takeshi Miike, Chan Woo Park and Fruit Chan.
Infernal Affairs - A Police/Triad thriller/drama. About an undercover cop in the triad and a mole on the HK police force. Parts 2 and 3 are good too.
Azumi - From the Director of Versus an adaptation of the manga.

The original or the remake?
The remake has jennifer connely I think who is hot as hell. I have seen the original sitting in the viseo store but have yet to try it because haunted water does not seem too interesting. I wish the japanese (chinese and koreans) would get off the ghost kick and try some serial killer and monster stuff again.
As far as bad guy goes- what I said about it is pretty much all there is to it- it is a character study of the titular scumbag and his prisoner. It is interesting because the guy is such a bad guy and yet their is some good in him....sorta.

I get so confused by all the renaming of these flicks- is that the one called giant all out monsters attack- the latest one released on dvd? Or is it a new one out in theaters only?

It´s the newest (and, Toho says, "the last") one, directed by the same guy who did VERSUS and AZUMI.
But it´s already released on DVD, check at http://www.hkflix.com/xq/asp/filmID.534169/qx/details.htm

Nope, I don't have that one but I do want it. The one in your link is PAL and no english (subs or dub) according to the blurb on the page. I will have to wait for a region 1 release i guess.

Maybe this one will be released by Columbia. So, I guess it´s a safe bet to wait.

thanks for the information cleetus. i saw the american godzilla that was made back in 98 awhile ago. it was actually alright. they made the baby godzillas too much like raptors from jurassic park though.
as for horror movies i saw one at bestbuy that had the girl that played gogo and was in br 1. i dont remember what its about but it seemed good.

No way dude, the american Godzilla is not really a godzilla flick at all it is a travesty. Check out some of the newer Godzilla flicks from Japan that came out after the American one. He is back to being mean and he looks cooler too. Also check out the new Gamera trilogy- although he is still a flying turtle it is a cool Giant monsster flick too. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/guides/guide-display/-/1JYQAX25UET9K/qid=1122582259/sr=18-1/ref=sr_18_1/104-3527892-5922318A quick overview on amazon

I plan on seeing Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance very soon. I'll definately import Sympathy for Mrs. Vengeance when that comes out too.

It was released in Japan on a lovingly restored edition. But it has no english subtitles. And, as usual with all things japanese, is expensive as fuck.

Honestly, at your own risk, but if you can rent check these out.
Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (a wonderful mess)
The Getaway (Steve McQueen is the bomb yo!, see Bullitt (sp?))
The Wild Bunch
Going thru a Sam Peckinpah faze...
S.
P.S. Again RENT, do not BUY! At your OWN RISK! have a beer (or ten) while watching these films. Again strange stuff, but worth watching. At YOUR own risk though. The Samurai becomes Westernized. Clint Eastwood doesn't even come close.

These are really kung-fu or gangsta films, but not to bad non-the less. First is 6ixtynin9, an unfortunate American re-title of The Story of 6 and 9. Not to bad, in the same style as Shallow Grave and A Simple Plan (e.g. if you find a bag of money, just walk away, problems ensue). Here's the imdb link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0235154/Again, it a thiller, not a kung-fu or gangster film and I didn't feel like making a new thread. Also, another great thiller is Blind Shaft, here's the imdb link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0351299/Very dostoevskian if you ask me. Worth rentals. Again, they are thrillers not kung-fu/gangster flicks. They are East Asian though. Sembene.

I just remembered a couple of Indian flicks that i really enjoyed: Mission Kashmir- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0248185/and Asoka: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0249371/I wish that I could find more Indian flicks like these.
