1:17AM - In Need of Writers for a Horror Blog
Hello! I posted a while back about the horror blog 
dailyhorrordose (which introduces readers to something horror-related every day, be it movies, books, games, anime, comics, or whatever). We recently lost two writers right around the same time, so we're in rather desperate need of some more writers to help us out! If you're interested, please check out the blog to see what we do and then head on over to the Sign-Up Post. Thanks!
Current mood: 
hopeful

3:00AM - New Horror Blog
Hello! Just wanted to invite everyone to check out a new horror blog: dailyhorrordose, where every single day we introduce you to something horrifyingly awesome, be it a movie, book, comic, tv show, game, anime, website, folklore, or just a frightening little piece of history. We're also looking for more contributors (especially in need of people knowledgeable of books, short stories, folklore, and online horror hotspots!).

2:30AM - NOROI: THE CURSE
Just thought I'd share a gem I found: Noroi: The Curse. A recent release, the film is shot in the same style as The Blair Witch Project, being a mockumentary. Critically appraised for its surprisingly deep and complex plot, excellent acting with a cast of over 25 characters, and its unusual length for a horror film (two hours), it was highly successful in Japan and a genuinely frightening film. For those who specialize in the J-horror genre, it is worth watching for its departure from the usual J-horror elements and its fresh take on what is considered scare.
Noroi is available to watch online in several places, but I found it split into 11 parts on Youtube for those who don't feel like searching. I would highly recommend it.
For those who've seen it, what did you think? :)

7:45PM - Midori truly and utterly disturbed me
A while ago I watched the movie Midori ( www.asian-horror-movies.com/mid.php ) and...well, honestly it was truly one of the most disturbing things I have ever watched. And things don't bother me, I can watch anything and be fine. But this...it just freaked me out. Afterward I could barely sleep and would start thinking about it and just started shaking/freaking. While I'm sure that since no one really knows me on here (this is my first post) that things don't bother me. But they really don't. Yet this movie just...ugh. Couldn't take it. So, I was wondering if anyone else had seen it, and what they thought? I also partly think it the animation and how it was done. It just made it feel eerie. So...opinions? Am I alone in my freaked out ness?

8:02PM - Uzumaki
I watched this film last night and liked it very much. It's about a town cursed with an obsession with spirals (such as on snails, food, and finger prints). The people eventually develop snail like features.

6:09PM - Great horror film.
Has anyone else seen Rampo-noir? It's 4 seperate short films but each are quite amazing yet horribly disturbing. I will warn if you go check it out there is nudity, sex, and extremely disturbing images.

1:41AM - Someone behind you
Just finished watching the film Someone behind you.
I understood most of it and what was going on but I definitely didn't understand the film.
Or who mystery boy was? Was there actually a curse? Why did Ga-in end up doing what she did?
Was her boyfriend seriously seeking revenge?

1:13PM - Here we go again...with a twist
9:41 PM 5/18/09 · I kinda mentioned this in a little blurb on my journal but the main reason I rented this, cuz I didn't think it was going to be any good, was to see if it continued to balance things out. This series was spawned from a Japanese horror classic called Ju·On: The Grudge that was hands down one of the scariest things I'd ever seen. The Grudge & The Grudge 2 tell the same story it does in two parts...
...Ju·On was really fucking long!
There's a Ju·On 2 and I wanted to know if The Grudge 3 was the same story that was, or had a lot of elements from it. After having watched it, and what I remember from the 2nd in the Japanese part of the series, I'd have to say that would be a no.
What I didn't expect was for the 3rd Grudge to be so fucking good!
( spooky stuff between the cracksCollapse )
This movie was un·fucking·believably excellent!
Current mood:

6:57PM
I'm new to Livejournal and to the community. I have developed a love for Asian horror over some years; I have this habit of watching horror movies when I am stressed. The problem with this is that since I have seen so much in one go, I feel like I've become desensitized to the scariness so whenever I'm in the mood to be really spooked, I can never seem to be spooked by whatever is floating across my screen. So I ask of you: has there been any Asian horror movie (or shoot, I'm up for recommendations on non-Asian horror as well) that has genuinely creeped you out?
Since I'm looking for something new to watch, I'll just type here a short list of those I remember seeing off the top of my head (some of these are embarrassingly sub-par):
Arang, The Red Shoes, Ju-On (all parts), Ringu, A Tale of Two Sisters, Nightmare Detective, Audition (basically anything by Miike), Shutter, The Eye, Epitaph, Into the Mirror, R-Point, To Sir with Love, Red Eye, Suicide Club...there may be more but my memory is waning.
Thanks for your help.
