The only one I ever saw that scared me was The Eye.

A Tale of Two Sisters is a really good film though.

I don't really like the Ju-On movies. Well, they're ok, but in no way scary to me.

There was nothing to fear,
and nothing to doubt.

Whatever you do, don't watch Phone. Think of all the Asian horror film cliches you can possibly think of, add in bad acting, a contrived story, and made-for-television quality, then you have Phone!

A Tale of Two Sisters and The Eye are my two favorites. I've heard a lot of great things about Onibaba but haven't gotten around to seeing it yet.

"One Missed Call" is a Japanese horror movie.
I recommend you should download this movie since it's really scary and nice too.
I also had watched "One Missed Call 2." But, it is not so scary as the first one.

The Eye made me scared to eat rice or bang my chopsticks anywhere on the dinner table for weeks.

Are you serious? I thought Phone was good. I didn't care for the horror aspects because I knew they wouldn't be that frightening. The story completely drew me in though.

I've heard A Tale of Two Sisters is good, you should try that.

well, I dont find them scary as such, but I think all these are good films:

The Eye (I think that's Thai), Ju-On (Japanese), Audition (Japanese), Old Boy (South Korean) (that was more gritty than scary, but whatever)

The Eye 2 was pretty scary. It made me never want to have children.

Why would I be joking? It started out with some guy harrassing the main character on her cellphone then completely went off course and decided it wanted to be a entirely different movie, this one about cheating husbands and vengeful ghosts. The entire thing was forced and by the end everything was just silly.

Anyway, a couple other movies I recommend would be Kairo and Uzumaki. Not my favorites, but I found them enjoyable and better than a lot of other Asian horror films I've seen. Plus Uzumaki is the most bizarre film I've ever seen, therfore I'd have to recommend it.

Audition, which is a Japanese horro movie, is prolly the scariest movie I have ever seen! I started watching it at night, and had to stop b/c I got so scared. I then finished it in the afternoon and it still scared the crap out of me.

Agreed. Uzumaki is a messed up movie.

But, I love it and recommend it.
