I'd like to watch a good horror movie in a DVD bang tonight. Can anybody recommend a scary one? I heard the Japanese movies are scarier than the Korean ones so can anybody recommend a good japanese movie that is probably available in most dvd bangs here?

ju-on, the japanese version of "the grudge" is scary. scarier than the US version. that's about the only one i can think may be in a dvd bang. but good luck getting a japanese dvd in korea with english subs.

"Audition"

If you can find it, watch The Door. It's a "suspense drama," as the Japanese call it. The movie's dialog is all in Japanese with no subtitles; however, that doesn't matter. There's very little dialog and what there is, it's easy enough to understand what they're saying from other cues in the scene.

A Tale of Two Sisters is a pretty good Korean horror movie.

Juon, Audition and Ichi The Killer. i like it.

The original Juon and Ring are the traditional style of Japanese horror, which I enjoy a lot more than the Scream-style slasher gorefest.

I'll also throw out Kakashi (Scarecrow) and Spiral (tangentially related to the Ring trilogy).

A little more gore in the latter two movies though, and probably NOT available in Korea. The former two are available in Korea, but not uncut. The Ring movies especially have been heavily edited for Korean distribution.

I seriously doubt that DVD bangs here will have any Takashi Miike movies, folks.

The original Godzilla with Raymound Burr.

Son of Godzilla the last scene brings tears to my eyes

if you have 2.5 hours to kill i'd watch "살인의추억" - memories of murder - korean film about a serial killer in hwaseong city during the 80s.

it is one of my favorite movies, and it has the scariest scene i've ever seen in a movie, hands down.
