It's not technically Japanese horror, but there are a number of very good Korean horror movies that are structured the same way. Namely "A tale of two sisters"

No, but apparently The Uninvited was a very poor adaptation of it.

I don't think so. A Tale of Two Sisters is the English name for the Korean movie is literal title is Janghwa, Hongryeon; lit. "Rose Flower, Red Lotus").

And again like my last suggestion, it's not technically Japanese but you should check out the horror movies that Guillermo Del Toro did before Pan's Labyrinth. Specifically the Devil's Backbone and the Orphanage.

Saw audition. Glad i watched it. Though i wouldnt recomend it despite enjoying it. I had to think and look up explanations about the ending and after fully digesting what i saw i really enjoyed it.

I dont know of that makes sense.

Saw shutter and pulse. Pulse was solid but the end kind of just went on.

Shutter is like OK until the final few minutes and then it pays off soooo good. Im legit worried to ever check out the American remake cause i hear its bad.

The only thing i didnt get was:

They hit nats "ghost" with their car? And they both saw the ghost? Seems weird. And how long after did she decide to "haunt" him and get revenge on the others?


I'm sorry I haven't seen it 10 years so I will need to rewatch it.

I like pulse stylistically but the plot just comes really untethered about a halfway in.

Hideo Nakata get a lot of love for Ringu and well fucking deserved, but I honestly think Dark Water is nearly as good and sadly it only gets a smidgen of that same love.

Also I personally wouldnt label it a horror, but technically it is I guess, Nobuhiko Obayashi's House is one of the most unique and hilarious movies I've ever seen. Legitimately I don't think there's anything like it in the world.

Isn't dark water just a short story though? I know I have read it but I don't quite remember it too well. Never seen thefilm either tbh

The cure, imo, was way to ambiguous. Theres just too much it doesnt explain well. I guess it was good but too broad/abstract.

I honestly wasn't sure if people were recommending the Sion Sono film or just tagging the topic. Either way, it's not his best work from what I've seen so I hope it doesn't put you off seeing his other stuff.

I haven't seen a lot of J-horror. You might want to check out the 1960 classic Jigoku which is an insane depiction of hell, Buddhist style.

So due to this topic I just saw Carved 1. That was crazy. Thought she'd be like the Mama ghost and not be a serial killer although she kind of was like the mama ghost.. I guess the ending shows she still exists? The sequel should've focused on that instead of an entirely different (and not even supernatural) entity


I like carved 2 waaaaaaaaay more than carved 1. I didnt really like carved one. There wasnt any real rules for her and her "am i pretty" made no fucking sense in that context.
