Big J.
Follow Ups:
Its atmospheric. It was actually my first J-horror movie. Its a bit slow, and somewhat atmospheric, but not as scary as other j-horrors ie Ringu, Juon and such.
There are other J-horrors out there, but be aware, that they are a bit slow, and tend to have *ahem* holes in the plot. The emphasis is on atmosphere, and if you over analyze the plot, you will be disapointed.Dark Water: OK. not terribly frightening but not bad. Reasonable story. A US version will be out in January.
Kairo: Very atmospheric, somewhat scarey, the spirit world ran out of space, so they are coming here.
Uzumaki: entertaining, but not all that scarey-really really bizzarre-If the Twilight Zone had a Twilight Zone, this would be it.
It will make you go HUH? Written descriptions just won't work with this movie.A Tale of Two Sisters: Korean, but similar in style-psychodrama with horror twists, has a few genuine scarey moments. A good psychological thriller. Excellent production values-better than most of the Japanese movies.
The Eye: HK movie similar to the sixth sense. I liked this better, the main character was much more likeable and accessable. Reasonably well done.
Into the Mirror: Korean, more of a mystery/horror . Interesting twists. Not bad, but different than any of the above.
There are more out there, and I don't do the more violent types, that Japan used to be famous for. Korea has been putting a few out the last few years too. They are hit and miss. There is the Whispering Corridors/Mimento Mori/Wishing Stairs Trilogy, about ghosts and a girls scholl. I saw the first and it was OK, haven't seen the others.
HTH,
Jack
