Horror Extreme Movie Catalog

True horror is watching an over-hyped Japanese horror film that has as its hideous monster a six-year-old Japanese boy with his face caked in white make-up, mascara and his big moment to scare comes when he bulges his eyes and goes: "Ssssssssss!" Wow, I had a heart attack and had to rush to the emergency room for a heart transplant.

One grows bored quick when it seems that every recent japanese horror film always has ghost children and they all have the same make-up person who thinks that by caking their face with white powder and using a pound of black mascara then that's really going to terrify a a horror addict in the year 2008 whose used to CGI monsters or at least fiends done on a brilliant level--like those hooded ghouls in the terrific THE STRANGERS that I saw last week.

The American version was hardly any improvement but at least it did try to stir up some decent scares which this one didn't. Oh, I think in this one they also had a woman created to look like a human spider but you could still tell it was a human being beneath all that make-up.

Some guy that was really into horror movies told me this was the scariest movie he'd ever seen. Since I'm a horror movie junkie, with a great appreciation for B-lists, I gave this movie a try. It was NOT worth the 25 cents I paid plus shipping and handling. I proceeded to give that guy a roundhouse kick.
