I'm looking for something that will scare the hell out of me.
I know many of the old stanbys(excorsist, shining and such), so I've been checking out movies out of Asia. Interesting stuff.
Juon-the grudge
Ring/Ringu
Dark Water
Whispering Corridors trilogy
Uzumaki
A Tale of Two Sisters
Kairo
The Eye
a few others .
Most of those were pretty good, but of that bunch, Juon-the grudge was by far the best.
What have I missed?
What have you seen that scares the crap out of you?
Just curious.

The Changeling with George C. Scott
I was gonna recommend that one earlier but I got distracted.
Let's just say I almost had an intestinal accident when I first saw it.
Stephen King could never aspire to such heights, although IT was pretty intimidating.
.
Since you were looking for Asian. Might also consider 301/302, and......... Cyclo.But start with Audition.
I've seen it listed, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I'll put it on my list. Thanks.
I'm not lookiing specifically for Asian, that just seems where the creative surge seems to be lately.

I am sure you will love the Audition - it is a shocker.The other two are different. The 301/302 is a more elegant fare, and the Cyclo is all about the internal horror, not too direct.
Steve is probably the greatest expert on Asian films, so you might try pinging him.
If you are looking for a film that will cause strong negative emotions (isn't that horror?) then the Russian Come and See is that sort of film.
And I don't know if you seen Salo, but that is certain to make most people's pants wet.
I'm nnore interested in mood/atmosphere than sheer shock.
I'll look into those mentioned.
The problem is, my wife spooks really easily.:-(
