Anyone wants to share their impressions on Asian Scary Movies? (I put the Hollywoodian remake of Ringu because I guess it has been seen by more people than the original japanese version)
F... I'm losing my english. I used to expressed myself so well on the pink board.

I felt tempted to vote for The Ring remake, but I haven't seen Dark Water or The Eye (I really want to though) so I couldn't vote properly.

The Eye is really good, but only if you're familiar with Asian scary movies and/or with a good knowledge in Chinese. still, i think it's good. Jet Li is just adorable all 7 of those Ring movies are too much of a rip-off, though. i mean the first 2 were good but the 5 after that all failed to give me the creeps...

Holy hell...I saw The Eye yesterday. My friend who loves Asian horror films had it so I wanted to watch it. It scared the hell out of me! Lilith will know what I mean here..the calligraphy scene....holy fucking shit! I actually screamed out loud. And I've seen plenty of horror movies before and I've never screamed at one. It was a really good movie too. Sometime I thought they might be ripping off The Sixth Sense, but it was really just basic ghost knowledge, if you can call it that.

i know it sounds like your average ghost story but believe me, The Eye is fucking amazing!!! it's not just the ghosts & guts & all, but the acting is so great. i mean nowadays you see a lot of horror movies & the actors just can't act for shit. & you end up laughing at their acting rather than scared... but The Eye is one of those movies with actors so good that they give you a sence of "O holy shit this IS real!!" have to give credits to Jet Li, she's just amazing for such a young actress. & she actually won a Berlin Polar Bear before, so you can get a sence of how good she is.

Jet Li ? I think the main character is called Angelica Lee.

Yeap, that's her, the young Maylasian actress/singer who played the main character in the Eye. back in the days when she was a teenager & sang in a band her name was Jet. but after she went to Taiwan & made a name for herself she turned into Angelica because the famous Chinese Kung-fu guy is also named Jet... i used to be fan of her music (she was a dance pop artist back then BTW) so i'm used to calling her Jet ;D

There's also a sequel to the Eye. It's on www.theeye2.com/But it's not Angelica Lee at all. It's Shu Qi (that sexy girl in So Close) This time, it's a pregnant woman who's giving birth. Let's just say it reminds me of Rosemary's Baby meets 6th Sense.
