70's Filipino horror can be lots of fun for me. Even the ones most reviewers say might be boring, I have enjoyed Besat of the Yellow Night as well as Superbeast which can be added if they haven't yet. They aren't as fun as the Blood Island films, but I still quite liked them.

Thanks! Saw that Mirrors 2 includes the original Into The Mirror:

Think I ought to put in American Remakes or Korean Horror?

I would put it into remakes. Only because Into the Mirror is only on the included DVD and this is a list of Asian horror on Blu-ray. Otherwise, it would belong in the Korean horror section too.

A bit late with this, but the original Ju-On: The Curse films have been released on Blu-Ray in Japan:



However it's in 1080i and with no English subtitles.

And posting this here since it might affect Chinese Horror films:

Effective immediately, amendments have been made to the Film Censorship Ordinance to include the National Security Law. There's nothing specific about old films, but let's not kid ourselves they won't retroactively apply this shit.

No mention of this on OP. It certainly has plenty of dark humor in it, but I always felt it was a great horror flick as well. It most definitely is horrific at least. Sion Sono displaying some of his most gleefully twisted talent.

So will this be remastered? Since I've heard of some of Media Blasters' recent re-releases were just the same as before.

Regardless, I'll add it the OP when it gets a cover. It's currently like this:

Been curious about the various film adaptations of Junji Ito works and made a quick little guide to them. I hear most are not too good, but that doesn't really stop me. I'm curious to check these out. Barely any on Blu-ray and almost all of them are OOP, but I wanted to share it somewhere for those who may share my curiosity.

Their partner label Dekanalog is also releasing the Taiwanese horror film Detention (based on the video game)

[ninawatches]

Some of these are in the wrong place.

mon mon mon Monsters, Rigor Mortis, and Detention should all be moved to Chinese Horror.

Grotesque and Hana-Damashould all be in Japanese Horror.

The Complex is in both Japanese and Korean Horror, but it's Japanese.

I am still waiting for all those wonderful Tartan Asia Extreme DVDs to be upgraded to BD. Some of them were very good, and the Whispering Corriders trilogy deserves its own box set.
