I would love to see the longer version as Dumplings was my favorite of the stories. The stuff with the young pregnant school girl was pretty disturbing and very cool at the same time.<br /><br />Also, I second POT in saying that French horror is the big thing right now...all the movies he named are pretty fantastic.Matt-suzakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215962688591291944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295067283198824806.post-39335645735773070962009-12-01T13:17:55.574-06:002009-12-01T13:17:55.574-06:00Trinity,

I use the term J-horror loosley because the thematic elements that bind these films together trascend the boundaries of a single country. I would attempt to sub catagorize some films as K-horror (for Korean horror) but that might be splitting hairs. <br /><br />I tend to group together filmakers of the Haunted School under the banner of J-horror because many of them deal with issues regarding the break down of the family and ghosts. For example, the films of Ji-woon Kim (A Tale of Two Sisters) of Seoul, South Korea can find themetic parallels with those of Ataru Oikawa (Tomie).Monster Scholarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512345969721307138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295067283198824806.post-68807850825153873502009-12-01T13:01:02.617-06:002009-12-01T13:01:02.617-06:00creepy premise- i like it! where'd you find a...creepy premise- i like it! where'd you find a copy of Dumplings?

And, uhm, it’s “Takashi Miike” - not “Takahashi Miike”.

So many great movies within the last few years (Inside, Martyrs, High Tension, Ils, etc.).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
