suggestions on movies like Gonjijam

So I need movies like Gonjijam Haunted Asylum to watch. I have seen Streamer and Found Footage Critic is useless for finding links.

Just asian versions of people running around abandoned buildings being picked off by ghosts.

I looked up gory Japanese shows and was very saddened to only find Alice in Borderlands as the one example

With a country that produced so many horror classics, ultra gory splatters, and a million dramas, you’d think there’d be at least some gory tv offerings out there.

Alice in Borderlands isn’t even that violent, and it’s very juvenile instead of campy.

Am I missing something? I looked in MyDramaList but it was pretty much it. Some violence in some other shows but not much.

There are several violent Korean shows from what I can tell. Why not from Japan?

Not technically Horror, but still amazing.

I've loved Asian Horror movies forever now,, and I've seen Soo many. I recently branched out and started watching Japanese and Korean TV shows.. Since I LOVE Squid Games soooo much,, I tried finding similar things as far as entertainment. Parasite: The Grey was fucking Amazing! Definitely a new favorite for me. I also watched The 8 Show and Alice In Borderland.. I highly recommend these 3 shows lol. Anyone have suggestions of other Shows that are great like these?

EDIT: All Of Us Are Dead is also another top favorite show for me,, patiently waiting for the new season!

Does anyone have a full chart explaining Koji Shiraishi’s interconnected universe?

Mostly just want to know who is Shohei Uno’s character in Senritsu Kaiki 7: The Final Chapter supposed to be? It’s not the same character from Occult but I’ve noticed he is in some of Shiraishi’s other films.

The Mysteries of Shoujo Picaresque

I just happen to come across this movie, I saw the trailer and the music video that was available for viewing and I instantly wanted to watch it. I tried everything I could to find this movie, I even came along a few reddit posts asking about this too, everything’s been awol. While I know the chances are slim, I’m still holding onto hope.

one missed call original ending?

so i’ve just watched One Missed Call (2003) on Amazon through Arrow Films which i’ve found out actually features the ‘alt ending’ to the film.

i’ve looked everywhere for what the ‘original’ ending is, but i can’t find any info on it at all - just that Arrow has the ‘alt’ one.

does anyone know where i can find the original ending or can explain what happens in it on this thread? please, im so curious!

ps. i really enjoyed the film!! very tense and very good, reminded me a lot of Ring (which is one of my faves)

MIERUKO-CHAN - A new Yoshihiro Nakamura film for 2025! This is not to be confused with the 2021 movie of the same name. Adapted from the manga, this is a comedy horror about a high school girl who discovers she can see ghosts, but pretends she can't, even though her classmates are haunted!

Thoughts on this movie?

I am a big fan of ito sans work and uzumaki. So I enjoyed it for what it was but this movie was so fun and wacky and bizarre .it only covers about a third of uzumaki but what little it does cover is beyond fun I highly recommend anybody who hasn't seen it. But expect to be confused.

A while ago while at a friend's house we were watching a movie where they were using human blood, like a large vat of it to either like clone, or regenerate body parts. This is all I really remember, idk why I was thinking about this but if theres any ideas you think you know what movie it was well be really appreciated.

DOLLHOUSE - New J-horror film for 2025 starring the awesome Masami Nagasawa as a mother who turns to doll therapy after the death of her child. NOTE: I normally wouldnt post links to my YT channel, but I translated this into English and thought it would be of more use to most people. Enjoy

Hello, can anyone suggest movies like The Machine Girl?

Not necessary horror, just any movie in that gory and goofy style

i released House of Sayuri subtitles

finished them last night. previously exclusive to my group. I'm not allowed to say where they are available because of the site they are hosted on. I did give a copy directly to one of your mods, so maybe they can help you. Likely now that there are subtitles that are not AI generated out there they will probably spread to one of those subtitle websites. so if you were waiting to watch this movie, now is the time.

full disclosure, i hated the movie

Pls recommend movies before 2010s

I’m looking for j-horror movies from 2000s onwards but not typical movies like ringu or ju-on 2, something more underground like noroi:the curse
