Last night's R-Rated Asian horror was Acacia. This is a 2003 Korean horror movie and I'm guessing at the time there was a gap in the market for movies about a haunted Acacia tree.The basic premise is about a Korean couple who cannot have children who decide to adopt an orphan. They try and treat the...

The new Horror Extreme site is up and (just about) running so it's time to get back into some serious blogging. I've watched a shit load of horror over the past few months... but I guess I'll have to watch them all again so I can write about them.
Highlights have definately been some Takashi Miike c...

A friend lent me "Guinea Pig - Flower of Flesh and Blood" and I don?t think any horror movie will ever shock me again. It's a 1985 Japanese short horror movie (it's only about 45 minutes long), the only element of storyline is a girl being abducted at the beginning. The rest of the movie is the slow...

"Reincarnation" is one damn spooky Asian horror movie directed by Takashi Shimizu who is more famous for "Ju-On: The Grudge and who seems to be churning out quality horror movies at the moment.
The story takes place 35 years after a horrific bloodbath happened in a hotel when a man killed his family...

I?m not sure wheth...

I?d heard a shit load about Junk so I was quite excited when it sprang through my letterbox. The thought of an Asian zombie flick seemed quite intriguing as most Asian Horrors I have seen are the twisted, psychological, brainf**k horrors so I was quite looking forward to seeing a Japanese interpreta...

I really wanted to watch "Infection" last night but it was too late and I was too drunk... so I left it until today.
The movie was advertised as "from the creators of The Ring, Grudge, and Dark Water", which were all pretty good movies so I was expecting a "pretty good" movie. I didn?t get what I ex...

I felt that there was becoming a hole in my horror movie collection which could only be filled by some Asian Horror, so I went a bought a couple of random Asian Horrors. The first movie to hit my DVD player was the intriguingly named "Dumplings" from the Hong Kong horror master Fruit Chan.

I haven?t watched a good Asian horror for ages (I've never seen a bad one? it?s just been a while). A friend from work had recommended Pulse and within a few days it came on SKY. It was probably a combination of it being late and the ?special? cigarettes I was smoking but it freaked the living shit ...
