Cello (2005)

Cry for the Strangers (1982)

Peter Medak

"Cry For The Strangers" is a bit of a slasher meets the supernatural type of story that plays well with the great gothic sensibility and score. The film moves at a snail's pace and the deaths are off screen....

Deadline (2009)

Sean McConville

While the story suffers from a serious lack of originality, the movie as a whole is saved by a strong direction style that relies more on old school haunted house scares to bring us a slightly better than expected thriller...

Death Bell (2008)

Director Chang

The film starts off as a ghost flick, which turns into a semi-torture feature and ends up as a standard who-done-it slasher. It clearly suffers from an identity crises, but still kept me entertained from the start. Check...

Death of a Ghost Hunter (2007)

Sean Tretta

This film may be as good or better than bigger Hollywood reels like "A Haunting In Connecticut" and Bay's remake of "The Amityville Horror". Unfortunately with such a tremendous start the film just...

Don't Go to Sleep (1982)

Richard Lang

A bland made-for-TV supernatural flick to come out of the 80's. Although has some good actors that produce some nice performances, there's not a whole lot more to say about the film. Despite that, it's not a...

Ghost Mother (2007)

Tharathorn Siripanwaraporn

Although the flick suffered an identity crises and the story wasn't the most original, it kept my interest and delivered some creative and bloody deaths. I could've done without some of the random tear-jerker...

No official plot yet, but they hope to bring back the guys from the previous installments.

Ju-On: The Grudge (2003)

Takashi Shimizu

Slightly better than the original, but only in terms of scares. A little over hyped with all the claims that it's a really scary flick, but it does have a lot of creepy moments. Pretty much a different story than the...

Ju-On: The Grudge 2 (2003)

Takashi Shimizu

A good follow-up of the previous film. Manages to give some creepy scenes and new stuff the original didn't offer. First is superior in the scares department, but I liked this better entertainment-wise. Worth a watch,...

Kairo (2001)

Kiyoshi Kurosawa

This is yet another good horror movie to come out of Japan. It has a lot of innovative and creepy scenes. The concept is also very good. It's almost 2 hours so it has a lot of slow moments, but if you're into it as...

Living Death (2009)

Memento Mori (1999)

Tae-Yong Kim, Kyu-Dong Min

A good movie with an excellent story. More drama through most of the film until towards the end when its horror aspect is revealed. A good watch if you're not easily bored and you're willing to sit through all the...

Nang-Nak (1999)

Nonzee Nimibutr

Good Thai horror film, with an excellent story. Don't bother looking for this unless you're really only seeing it for the story behind it and not the horror aspect, because then you'll end up disappointed.

One Missed Call (2003)

Takashi Miike

A tired theme, but an enjoyable movie. Same-old scare tactics, but with some interesting new twists. Recommended, but don't go in expecting a whole lot.

Paranormal Activity (2008)

Oren Peli

While its shooting style is nothing new, Paranormal Activity offers genuine chills and relatble characters. Best of all, it’s not a remake, it’s not a sequel, and it’s not a giant CGI ghost that’s about as scary as a Scooby...

Paranormal Activity 2

In Development

English

N/A

No official plot yet.

Rahtree: Flower of the Night (2003)

Ring 0: Birthday (2000)

Norio Tsuruta

Very cool Japanese horror flick; Has some weird, creepy moments and really makes ya think; Original story and excellent ending. I recommend this to all you horror fans out there that are tired of the same old American...

Seance (2000)

A good horror film with some decent creepy scenes. It does run a little slow and turns into somewhat of a drama later on, but it's worth a watch at least once.

Shutter (2004)

Banjong Pisanthanakun, Parkpoom Wongpoom

This is a solid Thai ghost flick that's an interesting mixture of The Eye and Ju-On: The Grudge. Definitely worth a check if you're into Asian horror.

Sisily 2km (2004)

Jeong-won Shin

If you're looking for an entertaining Asian horror-comedy, then let this be it. Interesting characters and good humor. Definitely recommended.

The Appeared (2007)

Oxide Pang, Danny Pang

A failed sequel to a great horror flick from Hong Kong. Although it does have its moments, it doesn't compare to the originality and creativity of the first. Worth a check if you're a fan of the first movie, but...

The film's storytelling and atmosphere effectively brings back the once forgotten haunted house tale. Although the storyline was somewhat predictable, the delivery was still pulled off well. Worth a check if you're...

The Red Shoes (2005)

Yong-gyun Kim

An above-average South Korean horror film that takes a predictable and unoriginal storyline to interesting new heights. With the use of bloody deaths and a somewhat fast pace, the movie should please fans lookin' to...

Abe Kwong

Worth a check if you're a fan of Hong Kong horror, but don't expect a lot of scares. I recommend just checkin' the first film and skipping this one

Voice (2005)

Ik-hwan Choe

Voice is a big step up from the last sequel in the Whispering Corridors series and succeeds brilliantly as a powerful and gripping drama. However, as it fails as a horror flick, the end result is pretty mediocre and...

Whispering Corridors (1998)

Ki-Hyung Park

A good story, but too slow and has a lack of good scares. Worth a check if you've seen the other Whispering Corridor films, or if you can get a hold of it cheap; otherwise don't bother.
