The Snow Woman or Kaidan Yukijoro (1968) is an underrated classic and a beautiful adaptation of the tale of Yuki Onna.3yr ⋅ Hermione_Jean_ ⋅ r/J_Horror

What is your opinion about Lady Snowblood (1973), the inspiration behind the Kill Bill movies. Did you know it was based on a manga of the same name?3yr ⋅ Hermione_Jean_ ⋅ r/JapaneseMovies

The Twilight Samurai (2002) tells the life's story of a low-ranking Samurai in feudal Japan through a very modern day lens.3yr ⋅ Hermione_Jean_ ⋅ r/JapaneseMovies
Pet Peeve or Seeds of Anxiety or Fuan no tane (2013) is set in a weird creepy town and follows some of its unfortunate inhabitants. There is not much in terms of story but the ghosts are scary and the atmosphere of the town is well realized.3yr ⋅ Hermione_Jean_ ⋅ r/J_Horror
The Ring Virus (1999) is the South Korean adaptation of the novel Ringu. It is well-acted and has a creepy, depressing atmosphere, but a little too fast paced, making me wonder if someone who is not already familiar with the story can follow its plot. What do you think?3yr ⋅ Hermione_Jean_ ⋅ r/J_Horror
Peony Lantern / Botan-doro (1968) is a minor classic and a solid adaptation of an old folktale of the same name that warns of the consequences of having intimate relations with a ghost.3yr ⋅ Hermione_Jean_ ⋅ r/J_Horror
Parasite Eve (1997) is one of the most unusual sci-fi films I have ever seen. The science part of it is way too accurate, almost making me wonder if it is accessible to general audience. The fiction, rather implausible. At the end, it is a gentle romance. What do you make of it?3yr ⋅ Hermione_Jean_ ⋅ r/J_Horror
Kuroneko (1968) is a fine companion piece to the more popular Onibaba! Like the latter, it too deals with theme of peasants (particularly women left behind during wars) vs samurai in feudal Japan.3yr ⋅ Hermione_Jean_ ⋅ r/J_Horror
The now iconic painting from Battle Royale was created by Takeshi Kitano himself (he played Kitano-sensei)!3yr ⋅ Hermione_Jean_ ⋅ r/J_Horror

Mutant Girls Squad (2010) sees mutants, who can transform their body parts into deadly weapons, in a war with humans. It is full of cheesy imaginative action and does not waste a lot of time on plot. Have you watched it? Who is your favourite mutant girl?3yr ⋅ Hermione_Jean_ ⋅ r/J_Horror
Unholy Women (2006) is an anthology of three shorts. Have you seen it? Which is your favourite short? Mine is Hagane.3yr ⋅ Hermione_Jean_ ⋅ r/J_Horror

Long Dream (2000) is a TV adaptation of a Junji Ito manga of the same name. It explores the horrors of waking up from limbo and realising that you had only been asleep for one night. Is it a boon or bane? Directed by Higuchinsky of Uzumaki fame, it is a decent work for a TV movie.3yr ⋅ Hermione_Jean_ ⋅ r/J_Horror
Hello all. I came up with the idea of posting my top 3's from very niche and narrow sub-genres in horror. Obviously these are no definitive lists. Just the ones I saw and liked. And hopefully they can open up some fun discussions . What do you guys think? Today's top 3 - Ventriloquist's Dummies3yr ⋅ Hermione_Jean_ ⋅ r/Scarymovies
In Japanese folklore, Tsukumogami are regular household items that have attained a spirit on account of existing for over a 100 years.3yr ⋅ Hermione_Jean_ ⋅ r/folklore
One Cut of the Dead (2017) is a low budget horror movie and a love letter to such movies. It is best watched without any further knowledge. 😀3yr ⋅ Hermione_Jean_ ⋅ r/J_Horror
With Noroi: The Curse (2005), Occult(2009), Shirome(2010), Cho Akunin(2011), Cult(2013) and A Record of Sweet Murderer(2014) under his belt, you would be hard put to find a more prolific director of found footage films than Koji Shiraishi!3yr ⋅ Hermione_Jean_ ⋅ r/foundfootage
Rinne / Reincarnation (2005) is one of director Takashi Shimizu's less spoken of works. An actress begins having visions after she lands a role in a movie based on a real-life killing spree.3yr ⋅ Hermione_Jean_ ⋅ r/J_Horror
Why did Slender Man become such an iconic urban legend character?3yr ⋅ Hermione_Jean_ ⋅ r/UrbanLegends
Two high school girls, one a vampire and one a Frankenstein's monster, duking it out over a boy. Gallons and gallons of blood. Throw in an Igor-cum-Renfield into the mix. What is not to like!3yr ⋅ Hermione_Jean_ ⋅ r/J_Horror
Marebito (2004) is a film by Takashi Shimizu of Ju-on fame. It is about a disturbed man who stumbles across a labyrinth of underground tunnels, and it is not. It is a film that lends itself to many interpretations.3yr ⋅ Hermione_Jean_ ⋅ r/J_Horror
This image represents the central mystery, 'who is the killer', of the Scream franchise, it should have totally been a poster!3yr ⋅ Hermione_Jean_ ⋅ r/Scream
Finally, saw Nishimura's zombie flick Helldriver. Have to say, I'm disappointed. The creativity and blood sprays are there. The interesting idea of a zombie's human rights is brought up. But does nothing with it. The plot is thin and stretched over an indulgent 2hrs. Also his sleaziest film.2yr ⋅ Hermione_Jean_ ⋅ r/J_Horror
I just discovered this body-horror, splatterpunk-fest called Meatball Machine (2005). It is a remake of a 1999 film of the same name. It has a sequel and a spinoff. Anyone seen these films? What do you think?3yr ⋅ Hermione_Jean_ ⋅ r/J_Horror
