do you find japanese horror movies creepy???  

yeah... even korean horror movies, it really feel more realistic.. every scene, background music, the place, but especially the story.. i mean the story is not just a plain fiction, you can really think that the movie is somehow true... my hair will stand straight (i'm not sure if you got my point, coz i forgot the right word, heheh )... the ring is the most creepy movie i ever seen, well chuckie is also creepy but that was long time ago, and i'm still a child..

I do find them scary. The horror films are not the only ones done meticiously and achieved their aim - which is to scare. SOme movies when translated lose some of the momentum. They cannot really copy everything fromthe original film.

Yeah they're scary. Hollywood make their versions of some japanese horror movie such as the ring and the eye. But the japanese version is still scarier, the ghosts seem more real and all. I think hollywood horrors use to many special effects that somehow let us know that those are..well..special effects! there's nothing scary about special effects.

i only find japanese horror movies thrilling and suspense, i dont find it scary at all, or maybe its because i haven't watch the really scary ones XD
ive seen ring zero, ring 1 and ring 2, the grudge 1 and 2 and some other more. for me its just suspense thriller, not quite scary enough.

The Japanese horror movies are more about the atmosphere than the English ones, so it's more scary to me. Most of the Hollywood horror remakes get lost in translation IMHO. One of my favorite Japanese horror would be Saimin (The Hypnotist), a very eerie and tense piece. The movie contains some truly creepy and gripping moments while the plot stays grounded.

basically, i find asian horror movies scary. i think these are a lot better compared to the english version. take the case of the movie "the grudge". the asian version is a lot scarier that the english one.

I collected horror movies, especially Asian. among the j-horror best is Ju-on (hollywood remake The Grudge), The Ring, The Spiral, and Dark Water. The Ring and Dark Water also has Hollywood remakes with the same title. Now why Hollywood would make the remake if they are not very good movies.. :) j-horrors are the scariest but usually with no-solution endings... :)

well not just japanese horror movies. i find all horror movies creepy. i am not a fan of horror movies so when i watch one it really creeps me out. well i think thats the purpose of the movie itself to creep us out. welcome to mylot my dear happy posting

hi ckimkim!

i love watching Japanese horror movies too! most of the Japanese horror movies i have watched are really creepy. the thing i noticed is that most of these movies are usually "quiet", they don't have loud background music and i think that makes it more creepy. like when you're watching it and its super quiet, you have the feeling that anytime, something would happen and it would just startle you to death! and i love that feeling! being on the edge of your seat is the best in watching horror movies right?

the best Japanese horror movie for me is still The Ring. i liked the Hollywood version too but i prefer the Japanese original version. i was really scared there. Nakama Yukie is the best Sadako! that's why i was really surprised when i learned that she was Yankumi in Gokusen. she's really a good actress to be able to play different kinds of roles.

I don't really watch horror movies. But I love Japanese anime! Its much better than the subbed version because it's so authentic.
