Battle Royale (Batoru Rowaiaru) is a work of genius from Japanese director Fukasaku Kinji based on a novel by Takami Koshun. The originality of this movie is definately one of it's strong points. The movie was made in 2000 and paints a picture of a dark future in ruins where violence among Japan's y...

Splatter: Naked Blood

Jay Horror — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT

It's not often that a horror movie shocks and appalls me but Japanese director Hisayasu Sato managed to do so with his enticingly titled movie Splatter: Naked Blood (Nekeddo buraddo: Megyaku). Although the effects are not entirely convincing Sato is not afraid to subject the viewer to some close-up,...

If you ever find yourself stuck for what movie to watch and you think that you might like to watch a twisted love story disguised as a gore filled, Asian zombie flick then Stacy (also known as Stacy: Attack of the Schoolgirl Zombies) is the movie that you need.

Shogun Assassin

Jay Horror — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT

It's not usual that a Samurai movie would be reviewed on this site but Shogun Assassin (known in Japan as Kozure Okami) is here for two reasons. Number one is that this movie made the notorious Video Nasty list in the UK and number two is the plentiful amount of blood and violence. One of the movies...

Fudoh - The New Generation (Gokudô Sengokushi: Fudô)

Jay Horror — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Never one to make a movie that is not extreme, Takashi Miike's Fudoh - The New Generation is a bizarre Yakuza movie with all of the gore, perversions and misfit characters that we would expect from this acclaimed director who never shy?s away from pushing the limits of decency. Fudoh is considered t...

Visitor Q

Jay Horror — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT

If you have seen any Takashi Miike movies then you expect to be shocked. With |Visitor Q the controversial Japanese director does not disappoint, not really a horror (although there are some gory moments) this movie is definitely extreme. Takashi Miike really pushes the boundaries of decency with th...

Marebito

Jay Horror — Sun, 25 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Takashi Shimizu (director of Ju-On: The Grudge and Reincarnation) brings us an original J-Horror movie by the name of Marebito AKA (The Stranger from Afar). The movie takes the humble vampire movie in a new direction, in a Japanese kind of way, but is much less focused on the supernatural ghosts and...

Audition

Jay Horror — Sun, 25 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Takashi Miike's Audition has to be one of my all time favorite Asian horror movies, there are probably a number of reasons for this. On my first viewing I was shocked more than I had ever been before by a movie, Audition gave me my first taste of the extremities to which a Japanese horror movie coul...

Reincarnation

Jay Horror — Thu, 22 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Reincarnation (Rinne) is a chilling J-Horror from Takashi Shimizu (director of Ju-On: The Grudge, Ju-On 2 and Marebito) and once again he does not let us down. Reincarnation is a typical supernatural J-Horror but that is far from a criticism, this movie is directed in a way that creeps you out rathe...

Dumplings

Jay Horror — Sun, 18 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Fruit Chan brings us a disgusting slice of twisted Asian horror with Dumplings (Gaau ji). A lot of attention has gone into this movie to make it gag-worthy and it definitely is, but we also have a highly original and well executed storyline depicting a scenario bordering on potential reality far fro...

Meatball Machine

Jay Horror — Sat, 17 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT

From the opening scene Meatball Machine bombards the viewer with over the top violence, gore and brutality. The cover art is enough to inspire any Asian horror movie fan to want to see more. The story, although typically Manga craziness, is quite ingenious and typically horror movie style pointlessn...

Ichi The Killer

Jay Horror — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Ichi the Killer (Koroshiya 1) is a tremendously violent, tremendously twisted and slightly confusing Yakuza movie with the perverse and bizarre storyline that we have come to expect of Takashi Miike. The gore is excessive, the violence is brutal and there is a plethora of peculiar, complex, drug-fue...

Guinea Pig 2: Flower Of Flesh And Blood

Jay Horror — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Guinea Pig 2: Flower of Flesh and Blood (Za ginipiggu 2: Chiniku no hana) is one sick little Japanese horror movie, I say little because it's only about 45 minutes long and I say sick because it's about 42 minutes of blood, guts and gore executed in the most sadistic manner possible. Guinea Pig 2 is...

The Victim

Jay Horror — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT

The Victim (Phii khon pen) is an incredibly well crafted (and also incredibly confusing) Asian horror movie from Thai director Monthon Arayangkoon. The confusion element is a major part of the brilliance of the movie, if you are a big fan of Asian horror movies I would recommend that you watch the m...
