I am curious...does anyone else just absolutely LOVE Japanese Horror movies like I do?
They just have such an extreme quality to them that American horror movies just do not have...they are very unpredictable and just downright creepy...

if you watch em..which ones are your favorite? if you've never watched one, go now and get one :D (a real one, not an American remake!!!)

here's some of my faves:

-Red Shoes
-Ju-On
-The Eye
-Premonition
-Infection

This might sound stupid but where do they carry these movies? I am really interested in watching one but have never seen one on a shelf anywhere??

I was so about to ask that! Do they speak English? If not how do you understand them.

also, for those who are going to watch one for the first time...i have two recommendations of ones to start with...
i would get either Ju-On (The Grudge was made from this) or Ringu (the one The Ring was made from) these are two great ones that will be also be somewhat familiar if you've seen the American versions...and they're both super creepy :D

You know what!!! I did see Ringu!!!!! My husband got the DVD from one of his friends!!! I was scared $hitless! Seriously, they are way creepy! I think we have Ringu somewhere in the storage unit!
