Hey, hoping to find some fellow fans here who can steer me to some great stuff for my Blockbuster rental queue.
I recently found Asian horror in a backdoor way. I was listening to the director's commentary of "Hostel" and Eli Roth was talking about the director Takashi Miike, who has a bit part in "Hostel." I had seen the name but thought it might have been a misspelling of Mike. Of course, it was not, and I found out Miike is one of the world's most acclaimed horror directors.
First I rented "Odishon" which was AWESOME!
The next Miike work in my queue was "46-okunen No Koi" which I also really enjoyed.
I added "Ichi the Killer" to my queue, and meanwhile, I proceeded to Hideo Nakata's "Ringu" trilogy. WOW!
And now I'm here for guidance. What makes Asian horror so great? I don't really know. I'm new to this whole shebang. School me! I'll try to find some more pics to add too for the enjoyment of this thread.
