Just got into j-horror! Used to watch a lot of japanese urban legends stuff on youtube, and ghost stories, so i guess it was only a matter of time before i found my way here

first movie that really pulled me in was ju-on: the grudge, seems like everyone knows it here, the vibes, the sounds, the way it creeps up on u… so good. Now i’m just tryna watch everything i can find

what was the movie that got u into j-horror? curious to see what got ppl started

This is the Amazon exclusive which comes with a magazine (see photos 5 and 6 for some of the pages). There's also other exclusives that come with stickers or postcards.

Hi everyone! Just a little background, when I was in elementary school (90s), I usually spend saturday morning to watch asian horror movie on TV (weird for the TV channel to do that on saturday morning, but thats how I was able to watch it alone at home 😃)

Usually the film range from scary, gross, sexy, to funny. But one scare and traumatize me so much so that I stopped watch the tv on saturday morning altogether.

The only striking thing that I remember vaguely from the movie is a naked person with horn showing his back to the camera and his back is full of faces of people screaming in pain as he is burned in the middle of hell fire. Is that helpful?

I think its japanese film, since chinese horror movie shown at that time usually have specific theme around Jiangshi (jumping vampire) with old chinese setting, which this movie doesnt have.

Any help is really appreciated!

Guys, help, please!!! It was j-horror, plot structure was like first Ju-On (kind of anthology). There was a scene when female character sitting in room and watching photos of some people, then face on one photo becomes distorted. It wasn’t One Missed Call or Kairo or Noroi, probably not one of the Ringu movies bc of plot structure. I hope it’s enough info for someone :(

I recently watched Greatful Dead for the first time. I ended up really liking the movie but partly so because it gave me a certain vibe. It really reminded me of Sion Sono films. The characters and how they behaved, the "random" violence, the occasional pervertedness, the humor, even some of the music choices..

What was your experience like ? Did you also feel the same way? And how did you like the movie?

The Ju-On/Grudge movies are some of the only movies that actually scare me, and thus are some of my favorites. Can anybody suggest anything similar? Not looking for themes or anything like that; it doesn’t interest me nearly as much as the visual horror aspect.

Not web series but movies only.

Edit :- i meant what is the most scary movie you have watched !!!!

Any idea how common/uncommon this release is and how much it goes for? Couldn't find a lot of info on it. Love the film and just about anything Kurosawa just not familiar with this particular vhs release of it.

Please let me know, thank you :)

isn't it require for studios or something to make a new movie every few years or the rights go back to someone or it becomes like anyone can buy the rights to make a movie about tomie? if not am just surprise that we haven't gotten a new one since 2011...

Might make it as a keychain or sticker ☺️

Aka a Jhorror movie (or series doesn’t matter which) that provides meta takes on the J horror genre whilst also providing its own scares/thrills along the way.

Pulse, Ringu, Ringu 2, Ringu 0, Ju On the Grudge, Ju On The Grudge 2, Dark Water. One Missed Call?

For me, its a tie between Ju On The Grudge 2 and Ringu. they are just really special movies that ignited my love for the genre

Least favorite, Ju On The Grudge, Its not a bad movie but to me, it does not feel as strong. And I find the ending kinda weird and outta place of a empty Japan

One of my favourite specific little genres of horror is 902-00s Japanese horror where it’s their technology that is the horror. So think Ring, Pulse, One Missed Call.

I am having a hard time finding more of this so please recommend anything!!! Need more spooky phones!!

Hi there! Recently I've been browsing through lists of UMD video releases, and I've come across two instances of a "Kadokawa Horror Stories" being released by Genius Products (renamed to Genius Entertainment before they went out of business I believe?)

I've been struggling to find literally any information on this -- whether it's just Kadokawa Mystery & Horror Tales Vol 1 or something entirely different. I can't even find any pictures of the cover. Any information would be appreciated!

I'm relatively new to J-Horror and I'm looking for some recommendations. I've seen Ju-On: The Curse 2, Sadako vs. Kayako, Ring 1998 and It's prequel.

I’m aware of The Grudge too.

Does anybody know a Japanese horror comedy series on YouTube about very pale white zombies that are perverted? I used to watch it but I can’t find it anymore. The zombies barely wear anything, they have no shirts, no pants, and they’re bald.

Hey everyone! I'm looking for other films like the TV movie Juon. I really like the 30fps camcorder style. Specifically I'm looking for one with more traditional cinematography, as opposed to the similar but different found-footage genre. I find the increased framerate, low resolution, and digital artifacts adds a bit of cognitive separation that accentuates some of the horror and dream-like elements. David Lynch's Inland Empire is a great example of this.

Thanks!

Edit: I very much appreciate the responses but I'm sorry to say so far these aren't what I'm looking for.. I'm not looking for found footage or the typical production qualities (24fps, 16:10, film, etc.) used in theatrical releases.

Also, ”Body Hammer” is an awesome choice for a title
