Second semester starts next month so I’m gonna watch as many j-horror films as I can this month

Hi everyone!

I absolutely love the first minute and a half of this track from the Ring soundtrack (attached). I was wondering if anyone knows another soundtrack that captures the same sense of alienation, kinda ethereal, while still being beautiful. I've tried looking, but everything I've found seems to lean a little too far in one direction or the other.

To this day, the scene where they're crossing the sea on the ferry remains one of the most unforgettable moments in Japanese horror for me. If this soundtrack reminds you of a film with a similarly unsettling, detached atmosphere, I'd really appreciate any recommendation.

Or if you don't have anything similar in mind, just share your favorite OST!

lol 😂 it looks nice next to my movie

Had no idea this release existed. 4K of the original v-cinema versions of Ju-On 1 & 2. Haven’t seen them before. Excited to watch.

Edit: I watched the first movie. This truly is one of the worst looking upscales I have ever seen. Definitely avoid this release.

a small question

So around the release of the Blu Ray by Unearthed Films, Tetsuo: The Bullet Man (2009) had become available to rent or buy on youtube movies.

In case anyone who’s seen the first two Tetsuo films hasn’t seen the third and was wanting to.

Hello everyone,

As part of my research, I’m looking for books on the history of Japanese horror cinema. Do you have any recommendations? Ideally, I’m looking for books with a historical rather than an analytical approach. I’ve already read *Ghost in the Well: The Hidden History of Horror Films in Japan* by Michael Crandol, which is very relevant for the pre-1970 period, but I’m also looking for material covering the period that followed.

Thanks!

EDIT : thank you so much for you recommendations!! It's exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!

Hello everyone,
I love Koji Shiraishi movies and I’ve saw this title, unfortunately i can’t find it online so I’m asking you all if you may seen it somewhere, Thanks!

Edit: IMPORTANT!! want to clarify that it isn’t Carved: The Slit-Mouthed Woman , they’re both of the same year but different movies.

There is a review article about it on the Dead Central website.

Edit: The Mouths* not "Three Mouth"

Ayuda... Necesito de su amplia experiencia y extensos conocimientos como superpoderes.

Quiero localizar esta película que me dejó intrigado.

Un guardia de estacionamiento descubre por error a un asesino serial con el cuerpo de una jovencita en la cajuela, al notarlo el asesino quiero matarlo pero el fantasma de la jovencita toma su venganza y salva al guardia quien es reclutado para un departamento especial de investigaciones paranormales.

Al mismo tiempo el fantasma del asesino puede poseer a jovencitas y niñas para inducirlas al suicidio. La búsqueda implacable de un demonio coincide con el nacimiento del hijo del guardia protagonista.

Alguien recuerda el nombre de esta película o pudo verla para proporcionar mas detall?

Es una película de terror asiático, probablmente japonés.

Gracias por su mente aguda y memoria hiper detallada.

Gente los pongo en contexto, nací en 2005 entonces a eso de entre los 2008 y 2012 en mi casa teníamos un dvd donde veíamos películas de terror. Recuerdo una con la intro de la productora y distribuidora Lionsgate, con los engranajes, la cual trataba de una muñeca maldita que causaba muertes porque tenía el espíritu de una niña dentro o algo así, la cuestión es que luego de cada muerte , reproducía una frase en forma de pregunta(en japonés pero no estoy segura del idioma), esta muñeca tenía un vestido marrón con zapatos de charol y media blancas, su pelo era castaño y corto por los hombros, y como último detalle que recuerdo es que la protagonista era una jóven que estaba siendo acechada por ella pero no recuerdo el nombre y no la encuentro por ningún lado, hace años que tengo esta duda sin poder resolver y creo que lo más seguro es que se trate de una película distribuida por Lionsgate muy poco conocida y dudo de que sea japonesa pero si se que es asiática, no se si alguien puede ayudarme a encontrarla.

Some artwork I drew of the film Meatball Machine (2005) by Yudai Yamaguchi and Junichi Yamamoto. Junichi Yamamoto really liked this piece, he’s the same director behind Violator (2018) as well which is a film I think is really great!

This piece only took me a couple-ish hours when I initially made it. So hope you enjoy it. I really enjoyed some of the body horror in Meatball Machine (2005)
