Scary far eastern films ?
Try "Shutters" from Thailand. Kept me awake at night.
Reply:The original Ringu series, the Japanese versions, and the original Grudge are pretty good.





Kept my G/f awake for nights!!
Reply:the ring japanese version
Reply:Thrown of Blood -the Macbeth story told by Kirosawa. Brilliant.
Reply:Three great selections come to mind





Janghwa Hongryeon aka A Tale of Two Sisters is a great Korean horror film that I love that not many people have seen (thats cause it hasnt been remade)


http://imdb.com/title/tt0365376/





Also the movie Batoru rowaiaru aka "Battle Royale" is a good Japanese action/horror/thriller movie. I loved the book, and the movie is a very good adaptation. Not perfect but entertaining and easy to follow for the most part. But anything that involves having 42 Junior high kids kill each other for sport before their electronic collars blow their own head off is bound to be an entertaining fare.

Also the Korean film "Oldboy" is great. Very Tarantino in quality. Pretty twisted, some bloody scenes. Overall very full of raw emotion and one heck of an experience from an asian film.

Reply:I highly recommend "The Eye" - made about 2002/3, directed by the Pang brothers





don't watch it alone lol
Reply:OOOH, If you want a great action/martial arts movie, check out Ong Bak!!! It's a Thai martial arts movie staring Tony Jaa (bit of a legend in my eyes!).





It has some of the most amazing stunts and fight sequences ive seen since the likes of Jackie Chan and Bruce Li.





It has a story line like a porno...ie. Just enough storyline to tie all the action together ;-) but WHAT A MOVIE!!! 10/10!!!
Reply:Another few are Pulse which has an original Japanese version, Through The Mirror %26amp; Phone which are both Korean I think.





Also if you like Oldboy recommended above, there is also Sympathy For Mr Vengance %26amp; Lady Vengance to complete the trilogy!
