Wondering if anyone knows where I can find the original Ju-On the curse 1 and 2 from the year 2000. They were straight to tv and predecessor’s to ju-on the grudge (With English subtitles). I’m collecting j-horror dvds and any other suggestions to add to my collection is also great!

First four images are for the two I recently got, the others are my others in collection.

I have barerly seen any Ichi the Killer talk here so I wanted to bring attention to the movies. Any thoughts wether about 1-Ichi or Ichi the Killer are appreciated. I quite enjoyed it and while I think some scenes were certainly unecessary it is still one of the tamer Japanese horror movies.

I finally watched Nobody Knows after someone recommended it here, and it really stayed with me.

What makes this film so disturbing is that it’s based on a real-life case. There’s something deeply unsettling about watching these children try to survive on their own, forced to deal with situations that no child should ever have to face.

It’s a different kind of horror - not supernatural or exaggerated, but painfully realistic. The quiet, almost everyday way the story unfolds makes everything feel even more heartbreaking.

It also reminded me of the Korean film Silenced (2011). Both films are genuinely heartbreaking, especially knowing they’re based on real events. It’s hard to believe children can be forced to endure such horrific things.

Definitely films that stay with you long after the credits roll.

Any other films like these?

The Main 3:TekeTeke,Kuchisake onna,Hanako-san

And maybe some lesser ones like human face dog

Please can someone explain me how the fuck did Takashi Miike’s One Missed Call go from the creepy 2003 original to such a generic movie just five years later? The Japanese version has that weird atmosphere you get in Audition and Ichi the Killer. The American remake is exactly what is wrong with the Hollywood horror (they love jumpscares), taking a genuinely creepy concept and stripping away everything that made it interesting. What was even the fucking point?

What are your thoughts?

Hi everyone!
I’m based in Japan, and I’m curious about how difficult it is for horror fans in the US to find Japanese horror movies with English subtitles.
I’m especially interested in lesser-known films that aren’t available on major streaming platforms.
Are there any J-horror movies you’ve been wanting to watch but can’t find anywhere legally with English subtitles?
I’d love to hear which titles you’ve had the most trouble tracking down!
Thanks!

Thats the truth for me

An interesting little Japanese release this week titled Juku.

Been described as a erotic horror film and marks the highly anticipated return of the “Shochiku Extreme Selection” label - The film deviates from traditional J-horror tropes by introducing an absurdly high-stakes, unique survival rule: “If you wear clothes, you die instantly”

I really like anthology horror series, also this magazine is really cool!

And other Asian horror but in particular J-Horror always makes me have literal goosebumps, even if I'm not even paying full 100% attention.

I'm a big fan of horror in general, no matter where's it from, I get jump scared rarely and just like the mystery aspect in American horror but they don't really give me the creeps.

Except for J-Horror, idk if it's in the sound design and music but even if nothing particular scary is happening but the mood just givesliterlaly sends chills down my spine, involuntarily. Like what do they put in their sound mix? Lol

Tengo la colección completa de mangas de batle royal una figura de gakkon no kaidan de Teke Teke una figura de sadako un dvd exclusivo de uwasa no shinso kuchisake onna traído desde japon con más de 6 años y aún funciona y una figura de edición limitada de la película one missed call

When I was a kid (like 20 years ago) in the asian horror section of a Blockbuster I saw a DVD movie right next to Ju-on The Grudge 1 and 2, I can't remember the name, only a little details of the DVD cover: the plot said something about two or three girls living on a apartment complex, one of them was really sad because his boyfriend broke with her, and one night there was a party or something like that when horrorific things happen on that building...

I remember the edition was with dar colours, dark blue or purple, and the images of a man screaming and a woman crying covered in blood on the floor.

Anyone knows what movie is it?

I can't wait to watch all of these movies!!! I still have Cure coming in the mail as well which I can't wait to see!!!

only 24 hours left to get it before it’s gone forever!

This is so far my collection of the The Grudge/Ju-on. Of course there is more that I want like the original tshirt and hat of the grudge.
The shirt that I have is from a company that made their versions.

The movie is about a tall monster with white hair that live in a forest and eats children, and so there's a family who moved to another town recently and they use their child as a sacrifice to the monster. The movie has a weird vibe (IT'S NOT NOROI THE CURSE) she also mentioned about a red cave. Also sorry for my bad English
