In the past few years, I've found that the best stuff seems to be coming from Japan and Korea.
What are your recommendations? Try to include the proper country of origin to help those of us who decide to seek it out.

Old Boy (not really horror but a great, great movie...part of Parks "Vengence trilogy")...south Korea
Ichi the Killer (again not horror)...Japan
Audition...Japan
Versus(1st part of the trilogy)...Japan

Rented The Host lately, its a really cool b-movie feeling monster movie.

The Host was pretty good, but I thought it had a lousy ending.
Yeah, it's terrific and quite unsettling. I couldn't figure out why Hollywood hadn't remade this movie, then I saw the ending.Old Boy (not really horror but a great, great movie...part of Parks "Vengence trilogy")...south Korea
I have a friend who is a huge fan of Asian horror and sees most everything, he raved about Audition. He lent me a copy but I've never watched it.

Watch it; it's a good one. Creepy on a few levels.
"Rust" isn't bad either.

Pretty sure he's gone on about Rust too. I'm not at all up on modern horror so I get lost in the conversation half the time.Originally Posted by ctc

THE SHOGUN OF HARLEM!
I haven't really seen R Point yet. Someone compared it to Dog Soldiers IIRC.
My favourite part of Old Boy would be the hallway tracking shot as he fights off dozens with his hammer.
Audition is definitely Takashi Miike's creepiest film IMHO.
I didn't know Versus was part of a Trilogy! Is the next film the flashforward to the future we see at the end of the film? Have the other films come out? What are they called?
I'm quite fond of Battle Royale.
I recently saw a pretty good (although predictable) one at the Toronto After Dark film Festival. It revolved around Simese Twins. Can't remember the name right now.

The Host was a lot of fun. Great performance by the lead actor, who was also in the "Vengeance" Trilogy (not Old Boy, but Mr Vengeance and Lady Vengeance), JSA and Shiri.

I havn't seen them about yet although I was told that a film called "down to hell" was the first sequel.I didn't know Versus was part of a Trilogy! Is the next film the flashforward to the future we see at the end of the film? Have the other films come out? What are they called?
Other films by the same director are worth checking out such as "Alive" and "Sky High"(not the disney superhero movie).
Battle Royale was a great movie...shame the sequel was not as good.
If you like asian movies have you seen "Shaolin soccer" and "Battlefield Baseball" or "Kung Fu Hustle" all great movies.
Strangely enough "Old Boy" is much much better than the original comic...which I picked up after seeing the movie...thats gotta be a first.
ENGLISH AND DAMN PROUD OF IT
