Ju-On 2 is just gross. the woman giving birth bit, its bad enough in real labour. we men faint at the oppotunity, not that ive experienced the wonders of child birth. :P
The japanese aren't the only ones to make clever horror films. Also The chinese and the koreans. The last good korean one i watched was A tale of two sisters and from China The Eye. I dont know if any of them were scary, i dont get scared watching horror movies, i grew up watching them and im desensitised. So im missing out on the experience, i only watch them for the cinematography and style. Silent Hill (story was bad) and the descent, being my favs for the past year or so.
The Host (korea) looks really good. Check out the trailer here
