Scariest Japanese moves?? Do the bugaloo?
But ‘Ringu’on 1??? Ringu was good don’t get me wrong, but definitely not the scariest Japanese movies out there.
October 26th, 2007 at 10:14 pmThe Ring is probably not the scariest Japanese movie. Even so it was scary enough to let it make to the Ring 2 and the Ring 0 and Hollywood remake version. And the Ring ignited the J-Horror fad.
As for Ju-on, Chakushin Ari and Audition, they were at least once on the air on TV. But I was too scared to watch the scariest scenes of them. He he he…
October 26th, 2007 at 10:58 pmThe first time I saw Ring, it gave me cold chills (and it was the middle of summer with the a/c turned off). It sort of reminded me of the first time I saw Jaws as a child. Both experiences were unsettling at the time.
As TofuUnion mentioned, it ignited (or at least rejuvenated) this genre. Pretty impressive, I say. (And like Jaws, the sequels were nothing to write home about.)
October 26th, 2007 at 11:18 pmNot the scariest, but I liked “Dark Water”.
October 27th, 2007 at 9:40 amOne of the freakiest movies I’ve ever seen (Japanese or otherwise) has to be Jigoku, the first one. It’s not really “scary” as such, but it’ll give you the chills…

October 31st, 2007 at 4:01 am“The Ring” was pretty great, but I think “Audition” is the scariest, at least the gore scenes x.x
