Audition (Ôdishon)
Creepiest Love story. A man decided to find a wife after long years of being a single father, to do this he decided to hold an audition. However one female was too good of an actress and he fell for her, ignoring all other applicants. Turns out she holds a deadly secret that would cost him his life and his son's, For she wants his love for her alone and will go to any measure to ensure she has that! "Next foot, please." (giggles)

Cinderella (2006,  G)
Cinderella
The ending has me at a loss. Who's who and what the hell is going on? Other than that, it's not bad for a face surgeon kind of flick. Not scary. More drama if anything. A surgeon's daughter was in the car when it caught fire, she got badly burned and scarred, no hope of surviving... The mother however won't let her baby girl go, so she has been secretly treating her and keeping her alive in a secret room. She made many skin masks for her daughter but they were temporary and requires constant change throughout the years. When a little orphan wandered to her door, she took the child in and used her face for her daughter's. As adults, the adopted daughter it seems lived in solitude in the secret room and was discovered late in the movie by the real daughter... hence confusion here, the line seemed to blur on which girl is the real daughter. A sad ending.

Chô kowai hanashi A: yami no karasu (Cursed) (2004,  Unrated)
Chô kowai hanashi A: yami no karasu (Cursed)
Seems to be low-budged film but an interesting one at that. Cursed is the small store. Some people sense the evil from the store and end up dead by its mysterious curse. Those that work part time tend to lose their mind and become cursed. It has some amusing CG.

The Eye
Rather dull but not pathetic american version of the korean horror movie. Not in the least creepy or scary, mostly drama with a bit of supernatural mixed in.

Feng shui (2004,  Unrated)
Feng shui
Tell me not to do any feng shui or buy any feng sui stuff. A mysterious object that if hung on the outside of the house would bring good fortune, brings tragedy and horror instead.
21
Ghost of Mae Nak (2005,  Unrated)
Ghost of Mae Nak
Very haunting. Has its creepy moments.

Hiruko the Goblin (1991,  Unrated)
Hiruko the Goblin
Kind of cheesy and silly but overall not a bad flick to watch if you like weird spidery headed demons.
28
Koroshiya 1 (Ichi the Killer) (2001,  R)
29
Infection (2007,  Unrated)
Infection
Icky greeny goo stuff. Stay out of this hospital lest you get infested! Has gross scenes that's meant to turn your stomach.
30
Inugami (2001,  Unrated)
Inugami
INCEST... Though subtle at first and the characters were unawares that the one they love was a long lost sibling. The supernatural element comes from the jar where the spirits are kept. The females must count each spirit in the jar each night to make sure none had escaped to do harm. It wasn't an easy film to understand at first.
31
Japanese Hell (Jigoku) (1999,  Unrated)
32
Ju-on: The Grudge (Ju-on 3) (2003,  R)
Ju-on: The Grudge (Ju-on 3)
Definitely creepy than the Grudge and much better. Slightly different which is why I like both.
33
Ju-on: The Grudge 2 (2003,  R)
Ju-on: The Grudge 2
Not a bad sequel, although these days it seems the scary long hair over face thing is overused.
34
Ju Rei:Uncanny (2004,  Unrated)
Ju Rei:Uncanny
It's alright but it drones on. Somewhat boring and nothing new about the supernatural hair thing going around most asian flicks.
35
Koma (,  R)
36
Kaidan (Kwaidan) (Ghost Stories) (1964,  Unrated)
Kaidan (Kwaidan) (Ghost Stories)
A few supernatural tales. You'll either like them or not. Not scary or boring. There's a tale about the Snow maiden and a tale about an haunted dojo, a tale about a guy that sees ghosts and asked monk for protection against the evil spirits and when they paint prayers all over his body and forgetting the ears... the spirits can't see him but they could see his ears and harm him by those exposed ears, eventually ending up cutting it off.
37
Chinjeolhan geumjassi (Lady Vengeance) (Sympathy for Lady Vengeance) (2005,  R)
Chinjeolhan geumjassi (Lady Vengeance) (Sympathy for Lady Vengeance)
Very moving, ugly and beautiful at the same time. A lady went to prison for the murder of a kid she didn't commit, while the real killer/pediophile roams free to harm and kill other children. Graphic and sickening, lady vengeance finally catches the murderer and the parents of the dead children have their justice in playing a part killing the pediophile/murderer. I do not recommend this film, although it's made well.
38
The Last Supper (La ultima cena) (1976,  Unrated)
39
Shibuya kaidan (The Locker) (2003,  Unrated)
Shibuya kaidan (The Locker)
Putting a gift in a haunted locker with a prayer ensures the one you love will love you back or something like that. Wish wrong and the ghost will kill you.
40
Shibuya kaidan 2 (The Locker 2) (2004,  Unrated)
Shibuya kaidan 2 (The Locker 2)
Woman was raped and aborted her baby, wrapped it up and buried it in a locker. Ever since anyone use the locker gets either good fortune or meets death.
41
Love Object (2003,  R)
42
The Maid (2005,  Unrated)
The Maid
A poor girl becomes a maid for well to do family with a retarded son and a big secret. Supernatural murder mystery. The previous maid haunts the residence where the girl works, having been killed there by the owners because the retarded son raped her, she wanted to quit and his parents refused to let her out to tell anyone. The father wrapped her in red cloth and poured lighter fluid on her then set her aflame... hid her body for a long time in the house. The retarded son was upset about it since he did love the maid. So when the new maid discovered the body and the truth, she too becomes the next victim of the parents. They too won't let her go, they want her as a bride for their dead retarded son whose spirit still haunts the house and likes the new maid... Talk about history repeating itself.
43
Marebito (2005,  R)
Marebito
Not frightening, but twisted. A father loses it, turns his daughter into some blood drinking freak and doesn't realize it until the end. He kills and feeds his daughter humans. Sick bastard.
44
Memento Mori (,  Unrated)
Memento Mori
Hard to get this movie. I'ts second in the school dorm series. [Whispering Corridors and Wishing Stairs] Finally boughtt it, really took too long to get this in stock. Really wasn't worth the long wait but I did enjoy it's drama and mystery with a minor supernatural twist. Memento Mori means Remember the Dead.

One Missed Call (2008,  PG-13)
One Missed Call
I was expecting a sort of lame remake of the Japan horror movie. It wasn't, it turned out to be rather good. Of course they could have left out the red ball candy that the japanese version used because it just didn't seem right. America uses the red hot hard candy, and our hard candy comes in smaller and different shapes, rectangle, oval, etc. The ghostly images were rather cool, not scary or creepy. It's more dramatic.

The Red Shoes (Bunhong Shin)
Creepy, goosebumps kind of horror whereas a mother happened upon hot pink shoes in ths subway. The shoes are haunted and whomever possess them lose their feet and life. The one who possesses the pink shoes becomes mad with obsession and won't let others near them. It awakens their feminite sexuality and they doll up and take wallks, but it doesn't last. They realize the only way to get rid of the cursed shoes is to die, unless they can solve the mystery of it. Never pick up any pretty red/pink shoes!

Shutter (They Are Around Us)
A very good haunting story. A photographer is cursed because he didn't help a raped victim that his friends gang raped after a party. So the ghost of the victim haunts the photographer until he remembers what happened and even after, she won't let go. She burdens him by sitting on his shoulders.
69
Gui si (Silk) (2006,  PG-13)
Gui si (Silk)
A surprising supernatural movie that shows the power of a mother and son's love. And a misguided man who trapped the boy's spirit in a room to study him and find the secret to why the boy hasn't passed the earthly plane. All spirits linger for a short time then disappear. The man thought it was hate that kept the boy's spirit from moving on.

Spider Forest (2005,  Unrated)
Spider Forest
A mystery thriller about a man with amnesia whom is tied to the cabin in spider forest for some reason. Suspenseful, a mite confusing as to what's past and present when it blends. Like memories are.
74

Kimyô na sâkasu (Strange Circus) (2005,  Unrated)

Suicide Club (2002,  Unrated)
Suicide Club
Formerly known as Suicide Circle... A bunch of teens at school decide to form a suicide club and start by jumping off the roof of the school. Still not quite clear on why they choose to do this, other than being influenced by some kind of drug or person. Rape and murder are part of this film.
77
Tetsuo: The Ironman (1989,  Unrated)
Tetsuo: The Ironman
Call it a lost art and call it weird. It's a love or hate thing. A man gets completely transformed painfully into an ironman, with an enormous twirling metal penis that he killed his lover with. The movie is entirely in black and white and uses stop motion for its weird machine transformation thing, it would look totally fake and stupid in color. Oh... a shocker scene in this film of the female lover being part machine and sproting something like a metal umbecile cord with a oval like end which she forced into a man's anus as he is bound... S&M style.

Jelangkung (The Uninvited) (2001,  Unrated)
85
Uzumaki (2002,  G)
Uzumaki
Uzumaki, means spiral. It has cool features like computer graphic enancements which make the movie that much more interesting and a bit complex. It seems a student's father is obsessed with spirals. Collects them, makes them and eventually died in similar fashion. Spirals seem to kill people, turns them into snail like creatures, or has snail like things, actions and such. It's a strange flick for sure.
86
Versus (2001,  Unrated)
Versus
The dead just won't stay down! A different kind of zombie like movie with time travel and samurai skills.
87

Whispering Corridors
If corridors at school start to whisper... It's time to get out!
90
Wishing Stairs (2004,  R)
Wishing Stairs
A new kind of supernatural horror. Who'd ever heard of wishing stairs? It does as the title says, grants the student's wishes with a price!

Yeogo goedam 4: Moksori (High School Girl's Ghost Story 4: Voice Letter) (Ghost Voice) (2005,  Unrated)
Yeogo goedam 4: Moksori (High School Girl's Ghost Story 4: Voice Letter) (Ghost Voice)
Why it took so long to come out, is beyond me. The 4th of the Ghostly High School series is as good as its previous volumes. I like this, it is a bit creepy, that once dead if the person's friends forget, the ghost loses its vioce and can no longer communicate with those it loves. The ghost then wanders and become bitter and angry. It's a sad thing, to be forgotten and doomed to wander the place of its death.
