I just recently watched a korean horror film called The Doll Master, that was quite good!

[Delightful Forest]

The Malay horror piece "Pontianak harum sundal malam" is above average. A couple of very sexy and beautiful leading ladies made it definitely worthwhile.

Not sure if these are what you are after but how about

Kwaidan - superb Japanese ghost story
Pulse / Kairo - fantastic ghost movie with a great ending
R-Point - Korean ghost story about a squad in vietnam
Jigoku - Great Japanese flick about a woman who goes to hell
Seeding of a Ghost
Boxers Omen
Buppah Rahtree - Thai ghost story, but I did not really like ti too much, too much emphasis on comedy for my liking but some scary scenes.
Intruder - Great Cat 3, though the Vcd is slightly cut.

Then the other more sleazy cat 3's such as Naked Poison, Eternal Evil of Asia and the like are also great but not really scary...

Double Vision out of Taiwan is great if you like the forboding kinda thing, from what I remember the bloody scenes are rather graphic but there only like 3. It's not a really scary kinda deal like Ring though.

Did you see R-Point? Is it worth getting?

Nightmare (may not be the original name) was decent in the way of the ring.

I'll second Seeding of a Ghost and Boxers Omen. Pretty sure they're only on bootleg right now, but both are great horror flicks.

I have R-Point, I got the limited edition Korean disc a while back as I am a sucker for Korean Dvd's!

All in all I liked it quite a bit. It's very well shot from what I remember though it is slow moving there is some good imagery in it. Really I suppose I will have to watch it again. I remember it being 'creepy' rather than 'scary' though, if that makes any sense.

Also how about
Crazy Lips and the sequel Gore From outer Space, though they are mad rather than scary.
The Imp - either the original or the later titled Cat 3 with the same name
Prostitute Killers - But this is just plain nasty!
Erotic Nightmare - Sleazy but worthwhile.

I have also heard that Inner Senses is good, but haven't seen it.

Hey lim, I saw R-Point a while back and would also give it a thumbs up. I didnt like it enough to buy it, but enjoyed it. Nice productions values too. I say 7/10. Good, not great.

Where is the best place online to get Korean flicks?

[limubai2000]

Thanks guys will order it this week.

[GwaiLoMoFo]

Soda Drink, I usually wait and get the HK DVD releases of Korean flix, otherwise youll be paying an arm and a leg for em. I get mine at the usuall suspects (i.e. cd-wow, yesasia, dddhouse).

[Lonebullet]

I think its called the Audition. Awesome asian horror film

[GwaiLoMoFo]

Hey lim, did you know R-Point was released on R1 dvd yesterday from Tartan? I didnt know it was coming until I was it at Best Buy yesterday.

Anybody seen the film Spider Forest? Its a Korean horror flick, I believe. I picked up the R1 Tartan dvd at a local store in a previously viewed section for .01$. Yes, 1 cent!! (It was mis-labeled, score!)

[Linn1]

R-Point is mislabeled at Circuit City for $8.99 right now. It says $19.99, but rings up $9 :)
