- DirectorKaneto ShindôStarsNobuko OtowaJitsuko YoshimuraKei SatôTwo women kill samurai and sell their belongings for a living. While one of them is having an affair with their neighbor, the other woman meets a mysterious samurai wearing a bizarre mask.Mother knows best?
- DirectorKôji ShiraishiStarsJin MurakiRio KannoTomono KugaA documentary filmmaker explores seemingly unrelated paranormal incidents connected by the legend of an ancient demon called the "kagutaba."A very well-done "mockumentary" style film about ghosts and stuff. Had an awesome ending.

She becomes involved with Kumiko's "family circle", which grows darker after the mass suicide of 54 high school girls.sooooo much narration. It didn't do much for explaining the plot of "Suicide Circle" (since it's intended to be a 'companion' film). If anything, it confuses the story even more.
- DirectorTakashi ShimizuStarsShin'ya TsukamotoTomomi MiyashitaKazuhiro NakaharaA fear-obsessed freelance cameraman (Shinya Tsukamoto) investigates an urban legend involving mysterious spirits that haunt the subways of Tokyo.One of my personal favorites. Traveling to a mystical world underneath Tokyo? check. finding weird blood thirsty feral girl chained up? check!
- DirectorKôji ShiraishiStarsEriko SatôHaruhiko KatôChiharu KawaiA suburban town in Japan is the victim of what is supposedly just an urban legend, a woman's spirit with a horribly disfigured face who is intent on kidnapping children for unknown reasons.Not a very good film, but an interesting adaptation of an urban legend.

- DirectorDanny PangOxide Chun PangStarsShu QiEugenia YuanJesdaporn PholdeeAfter a failed suicide attempt, a pregnant woman gains the ability to see ghosts.

- DirectorPiraphan LaoyontThodsapol SiriwiwatStarsChon WachananonWichan JarujindaChidjan RujiphunA group of sexy nurses who harvest organs are haunted by the vengeful spirit of one of their dead patients.an excuse for women to put on "sexy" nurse outfits and run around screaming. not bad.

- DirectorByeong-ki AhnStarsKim Gyu-riHa Ji-WonChoi Jeong-yunSeven friends will die one by one for protecting a terrible secret. Can a vengeful spirit be stopped?Basically a Korean slasher flick but the killer isn't human... each teenager embodies every typical high school cliche. It was okay
- DirectorDong-bin KimStarsJang Shin-yeongKwak Ji-minLee Dong-kyuA supernatural story about a mystic events occurring on the train, which had the route similar to the train which crashed many years ago.ghost train!
- DirectorEun-kyung KimStarsYoon Da-kyungLee Eun-seongJin-yong HeoROOMMATES is the third part of a 4 horror movie series, FOUR HORROR TALES.

Yoo-jin has the most difficulty with the stuffy institute life. she begins to have visions of events that took place at the institute in the past - like the tragic fire that occurred years ago.

They get to know the building was erected over a burnt slum, when lots of poor people died in a non accidental fire set by the constructors.

As the father is heavily wounded by the creature and goes to hospital, the mother undertakes the investigation the police should do. But what she will discover will put herself in conflict with her own beliefs as a mother.Not so much a paranormal horror movie, but more of a "thriller"
- DirectorHiroshi TakahashiStarsYôko ChôsokabeMina FujiiMomoko HatanoDr. Hattori and her husband watch footage of brain surgery experiments with Manchurian, Russian and Japanese guinea pigs that had been found in the basement of a wrecked hospital. Out of the blue, there is a white light and when they look back, they see they children Ota Miyuki and Kaori staring at the light. Years later, Miyuki vanishes from the Tama Medical University Hospital and her sister Kaori, Miyuki's boyfriend Motojima and detective Hirasawa are seeking her. However, Miyuki and the teenagers Kazochi, Takumi, Hattori and Rieko have been submitted to a nightmarish experiment by Dr. Hattori and her team with tragic results.I didn't really understand it, but all I know is brain surgery is necessary for spirit communication
- DirectorToshikazu NagaeStarsAtsuko RukawaChikako SakuragiHiroshi TamakiMisaki receives an email from a friend who had supposedly died when they were younger. She investigates and finds a scientist who uses the "Ghost System" to contact spirits.Not very scary. It's really more of a film about someone pondering the meaning of death and the afterlife, with spooky ghosts interspersed.
- DirectorNorio TsurutaStarsAkane AizawaDaisuke BanEntertaining, but I'm sure not as true as they claim
- DirectorHo-Young KwonStarsLee Hwang-UiKim Ja-yeongKim Seo-hyeongA woman investigates a series of bizarre deaths in her new apartment building."The Forbidden Floor". throw a creepy child into the equation and you've struck horror gold.
- DirectorJong-yong LeeStarsSon Eun-seoKyeong-ah JangMin-jeong SongFour friends make an oath sworn in blood to commit suicide one night, but next morning only one is found lying dead on school grounds.I love the Whispering Corridors series, and this movie really sticks to the main theme: School girls making oaths and dying and stuff. Not bad!
- DirectorKi-hyeong ParkStarsKim Gyu-riYun Ji-hyePark Jin-heeIn a Korean school, students are regularly beaten and mistreated by their teachers. However, the spirit of one pupil, who died ten years ago, periodically returns in the guise of a new girl, thus able to gain a revenge on the culprits.Basically a movie about how drama between high school girls turns into suicide then turns into murder. excellent!
- DirectorGen TakahashiStarsKanata HongôRin TakanashiKunihiko IdaMorino and Kamiyama share a morbid fascination with cruelty and murder in this horror. Together they track down a brutal serial killer to find the latest two victims - not necessarily to bring the killer to justice but to inspect their handiwork...it focused on two people who openly chose to be "different" from their peers and sought out much darker interests. The actual plot felt more like a side story to the entire film, but I still enjoyed it
- DirectorJung-min KimStarsSo Yi-hyeonLee Jong-hyukYoung-joon KimWoo-Jin, Jun-A and some friends are on a trip to the mountains. They walk into a dark forest, which is restricted to the public. They soon find themselves in trouble, and find they can't get any reception on their cell phones. They are all in fear, especially Jung-A, who finds she can see into the future.when going hiking, it's always best to include your own psychic, especially when the woods you are hiking in plan to kill you and turn you into a zombie. It was your average "teenagers running around dying in the woods" kind of movie.
- DirectorJeong-ho LeeStarsUhm JunghwaJang Dae-woongKim Dae-yeongA young girl who disappeared 22 years ago tells us her horrifying story.
- DirectorDerek Son Tae-woongStarsOn Joo-WanHan Ji-minOh Tae-kyungStrange things start happening after a group of med students dissect a cadaver.Lots of twists and turns, but basically a story about some medical students who begin to experience mysterious happenings (and death) after they dissect a donated body in "Autopsy Class" (I believe it was really an anatomy class, but the subtitles on the version I watched kept referring to it as an Autopsy class, which I find to be incorrect as they never performed any actual autopsies)
- DirectorPang Eun-jinStarsUhm JunghwaMoon Sung-KeunKwon Oh-jungA woman gets killed in a department store. No one imagines this could lead to serial murders, but two days after the first murder, another homicide occurs. A woman is suffocated to death and the only evidence left at the crime scene is a sticker of the cartoon character "Princess Aurora". A veteran detective OH suspects an attractive and lively woman named JUNG Soon-jung as the murderer. However, he does not tell anyone -not even his partner- that Jung also happens to be his ex-wife. Again and again, the Princess Aurora sticker is found... each with a dead body.An interesting story about a female serial killer seeking revenge for the death of her child. Great death scenes and an awesome view into the mind of a woman gone crazy
- DirectorPark Chul-SooCheol-su ParkStarsPang Eun-jinHwang Sin-hyeChu-Ryun KimTwo women, a chef and an anorexic writer, are neighbors in an apartment building. The chef.Remind me to be nicer to my neighbors o_o
- DirectorPark Chan-wookChan-kyong ParkStarsOh Gwang-RokLee Jung-hyunA fisherman becomes entangled in his line when he catches something unexpected.I didn't get it.
- DirectorDanny PangOxide Chun PangStarsAngelica LeeSoi CheangLawrence ChouA writer wants to get a glimpse of some genuine supernatural occurrences while doing research for a novel, but her experiences lead her down a dark path as she witnesses vivid hallucinations and begins to lose her grip on reality.Visually amazing, genuinely creepy at times, and very imaginative. It reminded me a little bit of "Mirror Mask"
- DirectorJason CuadradoStarsHiro AbeToshiya AgataMasami T. ClarkeTales From The Dead is anthology of four stories that looks at the quiet terror lurking inside the human soul, showing us that evil does not end when life departs. These original stories show us that life, and the inescapable agonies of the living, carry on into the next; well, life. Deception is as unavoidable as death, and so is payback. Under the supervision of young Tamika, a medium who has heard enough ghost confessions to understand the venom and malice of human souls, we meet a range of characters whose ails begin in life and carry on in death. A family, newly reunited with their estranged son, faces the remnants of the bad marriage, and evil intentions, of their home's previous owners. An old accountant, trying to set his "books" straight after a life of working for a criminal gang, takes his revenge on the man who wouldn't let him. A businessman, hungering for success and material opulence, finds that time is the only truly scarce resource - and the only one genuinely valuable. Lastly, a surprise ending for Shoko, a lady of leisure, who has a deadly definition of divorce, and meets young Tamika on the wrong dark and foggy road.I enjoyed this one. It consists of a few short stories, with a main story intertwined. Gotta love a twist ending ;)
- DirectorCheol-soo JangStarsSeo Yeong-hieJi Seong-wonMin-ho HwangA woman subject to mental, physical and sexual abuse on a remote island seeks a way out.This film has been (quite fairly) compared to "Sympathy for Lady Vengeance". A woman living on a rural island tries desperately to escape the terrible conditions in which she must live, but is thwarted by the awful people whom share the village. tragedy strikes and she just isn't going to take it anymore. It's a great story for showing how a person will endure great suffering only for so long.
- DirectorAkio YoshidaStarsMei KurokawaYoshihiko HosodaYûta SoneAimi and her father move into an old, apartment building and learn quickly that things are not normal here. The landlord warns Aimi and her father of the curfew. First, all residents must cross the rope in front of the property by midnight. Second, no one can move out until a new tenant arrives. Those brave enough to break the rules are unmercifully killed by a mysterious force. Aimi begins to see visions of a girl that doesn't exist. She learns that a girl named Ai lived here 30 years ago before she vanished one day on her way home from school. Aimi is driven to find out more about her. She learns that Ai wasn't abducted, but in fact came back to the building the day she disappeared. Can Aimi learn the horrible truth of what happened to Ai? And what is the dark, disturbing secret that the two girls share?low budget, but there were certain parts to this film that were legitimately creepy (like what the old man and his wife endure every night from some of the ghosts! terrifying!!)
- DirectorNaoyuki TomomatsuStarsNorman EnglandTomoka HayashiYukijirô HotaruGirls surrounding 17 years old are affected by an illness that make her to be 'Stacies': they feel a strange and momentary happiness until they become zombies.
- DirectorAkio JissôjiAtsushi KanekoHisayasu SatôStarsTadanobu AsanoYûko DaikeChisako HaraThis four-part anthology takes its cue from the short fiction of legendary horror writer Edogawa Rampo.
- DirectorTakashi ShimizuStarsYûya YagiraMisako RenbutsuDaniel GarciaA group of teenagers take a sick girl to a hospital only to find out it is a horrific labyrinth.Super interesting plot, albeit a bit odd and inconsistent. I didn't get a chance to see it in 3D, but it's easy to tell which scenes were intended for the 3D effect. Personally, I feel that the 3D aspect is just a gimmick, and does not contribute to the story at all (that goes for most 3D films, not just Shock Labyrinth)
- DirectorYôichirô HayamaStarsAkiko EsakiKanji FurutachiMiho HirataWhen a television producer visits the home of a brother and sister to interview them for his series on paranormal phenomena, what first appears to be a simple case of psychopathology turns into a full-blown epidemic of demonic manifestation. To his horror he realizes that he is not only a witness to the blossoming insanity, filming each scream and horrific expression, but that he and his technology have been intricately tied to the cause and conduit of its spread.Boring and trite. I highly recommend not wasting your time on this one.
- DirectorKiyoshi YamamotoStarsYuria HagaAsami UsudaTasuku NagaokaThe Devil has a phone number, and if you call him on your mobile phone at midnight, he will grant your wish. In return however, he will control your life for the duration of the call.this movie was confusing and didn't hold my attention long enough for me to finish the last third of it. I just didn't get it
- DirectorYukihiko TsutsumiStarsYui IchikawaLeo MorimotoNaoki TanakaA writer moves to a remote island with his daughter and young son. After settling into their new home, a neighbor arrives to welcome them and give them a breakdown of the local rules; most important: do not go outside when the island's siren starts wailing.
- DirectorSeung-wook ByeonStarsPark Min-YoungKim Dong-wookYe-ron KimA young woman is murdered on an elevator and the only witness is her cat Bidan. Her friend So-yeon brings the cat home and wild and disturbing things begin to happen.The perfect horror film for that special "cat lady" in your life
- DirectorChao-Bin SuStarsChang ChenYôsuke EguchiKarena Kar-Yan LamIn Taipei, the crippled scientist Hashimoto uses his invention of "Menger Sponge" to capture the energy of the spirit of a child in an old building. He invites the specialist in reading lips, Detective Tung, to join his research team that is studying the phenomenon to understand the movements of the lips of the ghost. Hashimoto is trying to disclose why the energy of the ghost does not dissipate, and Tung discovers the identity and the dramatic story of the boy. He was sick with tumors and was killed by his own mother and buried nearby a nuclear plant. Hashimoto deduces that the rage of the boy for his mother associated to the location where the body was buried were the reason to keep the energy. When the government decides to shutdown the research, Hashimoto becomes insane and takes the spirit with him.I loved this one. It was refreshing because they mixed folklore/ghosts with technology. It was a really original story and I enjoyed it so much I bought my own copy.
- DirectorMonthon ArayangkoonStarsInthira CharoenpuraChutcha RujinanonChamanun WanwinwatsaraThis is inspired by a true story of three horrible murders that happened to three women in years past. Chalinee, a young reporter, is curious as to the truth behind the three mysterious cases, so she starts searching for more information. Finally, she discovers the house where three women were killed by their lovers. But when she takes her final steps into the cursed house, she finds something more frightening than she ever imagined waiting for her.The plot got a little confusing, but it's definitely the type of movie where you keep screaming "DON'T GO IN THERE!!"
- DirectorYoung-Joo ByunStarsLee Sun-kyunKim Min-heeJo Sung-haA man searches for his fiancée who vanished without a trace just before their wedding ceremony, only to discover the shocking identity of her.This was more of a mystery/thriller detective story type film. It explores the emotional pain of uncovering lies from a person you thought you knew very well.
- DirectorHiguchinskyStarsEriko HatsuneFhi FanHinako SaekiThe inhabitants of a small Japanese town become increasingly obsessed with and tormented by spirals.Interesting adaptation from Junji Ito's manga series of the same name. I feel like they could have done better for the movie, but you can tell they had a budget. a fun watch, regardless!
- DirectorKenta FukasakuKinji FukasakuStarsTatsuya FujiwaraAi MaedaShûgo OshinariThree years after the failure of the last BR program, a second act is forged and a class of students is sent to an island with one objective: kill international terrorist Shuya Nanahara.To be honest, I started watching this and couldn't make it through. It was so bad compared to the first film.
- DirectorToshiya FujitaStarsMeiko KajiToshio KurosawaMasaaki DaimonA strikingly beautiful young woman is trained from birth to be a deadly instrument of revenge against the swindlers who destroyed her family.a classic! Gotta love an awesome revenge tale
- DirectorChi-Leung LawStarsKarena Kar-Yan LamAngelica LeeAndy Chi-On HuiJealousy, desire, trust, and revenge. A complicated love triangle emerges during an investigation into the theft of a woman's kidney. At a wedding party in a fancy hotel, a guest happens on the victim. The guest, Chi Ching, reports seeing a suspicious woman at the wedding, and at a police station, it's disclosed that the woman in question, Suen Ling, has slept with Ching's fiancé, Wei. He claims he loves only Ching, but Ling keeps showing up. Reassured by Wei, Ching tries to befriend Ling. Ling's back-story, Ching's health, and Wei's desires keep the love triangle spinning. It's not back-stabbing that Ching must worry about, but a 9-inch incision on her side.Kidneys just flying left and right in this movie.
- DirectorHong-Seung YoonStarsLee Beom-suKim BumIn-sook ChoiAdvanced students who take a special class are being tortured by their class rank.If you combined the "Saw" films and "Battle Royale", that is how I would describe this movie. (it was awesome)
- DirectorShûsuke KanekoStarsTatsuya FujiwaraKen'ichi MatsuyamaAsaka SetoA battle between the world's two greatest minds begins when Light Yagami finds the Death Note, a notebook with the power to kill, and decides to rid the world of criminals.Not necessarily Asian "horror", really more "thriller". I had watched the anime version before and loved the concept. The live action movie isn't necessarily bad, but it does sort of come across as a little bit "cheesy". Regardless, this first installment was fun to watch and is a great adaptation from the original manga/anime.
- DirectorShûsuke KanekoStarsTatsuya FujiwaraKen'ichi MatsuyamaErika TodaPicking up where the first one leaves off, Light joins the task force searching for Kira in an effort to avert suspicion from himself---and get rid of L.

All of them disappear.

The very strict trainer informs her students that there will be serious consequences if they do not follow her rules.
- DirectorNorio TsurutaStarsYurina KumaiAiri SuzukiMai HagiwaraThe students think of it as a silly joke when the mobile telephones ring with instructions for the classmates. The texts keep coming and the demands escalate under punishment of erasure however.
