What are your guys fav j-horrors

Well you could post

Or, if we don't feel like it, we can ignore your thread because we have nothing to say? If people have nothing to say then they won't post so here is no point "bumping" your thread with a double post.

Yay. Jaso wants another argument. i'm not even sure what J-horror is but i watch films to watch films not to talk about them so..(erm..where am i going with this?)

I think he means J-Horror as in The Ring, japanese version, or The Grudge... for example.

i'm not even sure what J-horror is
J-Horror is Japanese Horror

So, just horror with japanese people. to me its the same as any other.

J-Horror is a term used to refer to Japanese contributions to horror fiction in popular culture. Whereas American modern day horror films tend to rely heavily on special effects and a multitude of sub-genres (i.e. slashers, demons, extraterrestrials, etc.), J-horror tends to focus on psychological horror and tension building (anticipation), particularly involving ghosts and poltergeist. Certain popular J-Horror films are based on manga (e.g. Tomie, Uzumaki and Yogen). Many contain themes of folk religion such as: possession, exorcism, shamanism, precognition, and yōkai.

Well, despite what I said he succeded.

I like a mixture of horror. IMO to stick to just one type makes you keep predicting correctly what will happen or at least know its time to prepare for a scare. I prefere Japanese horror because otherwise it is just someone infront of a green screen.(or is it blue?)

enjoy. i read the sub-story too (The Enigma of Amigara Fault). (liked it a lot, although it was short)

i have yet to read his other works. i want to though.

J-horror is one of my favorite genres. A lot of other horrors i've seen are just blood and gore, so it's nice for some backstory and psychological issues everynow and then.^^ Japan has so many ghost stories and legends it's like you'll never run out of material. I've yet to see one with the legend of that woman with the strange face. If you've heard of the black dahlia case you'll know what I mean. I think the most recent one i've seen though was Infection. I still don't completely get it though. Everything up until the ending is easily understood but...^^;Tomie is also pretty good. (Though I've yet to see the entire series of movies. Right now I prefer the manga a lot more.) By the way, thanks. I just read The Enigma of Amigara Fault. Ito is really a great artist.

I haven't seen any J-horror before.
