Bro, just do it. It's a good movie, especially when you read about just how fucking bonkers the production of the movie was. Gotta see it at least once in your life.

Old Boy. Not really a straight "horror movie", but is very terrifying when you sit back and think about it.

I watched Pulse last night. I liked that it didn't use jumpscares and it was fairly interesting considering how an old film mirrors the 2020 pandemic.

It wasn't as scary but still a good story in it.

Teketeke was your run off the mill supernatural horror like the grudge and the ring.

There is also a south korea show called "silent sea" which I absolutely loved. Its more thriller than horror but really interesting.

If you're into more "cheesy" horror movies, try the Tomie live action movies. They're not necessarily good but still fun to watch if you're into Junji Ito's books.

Oh! And the "World of Kanako" both starring two of my favourite actresses, Komatsu Nana and Hashimoto Ai. This one is from the same director (Tetsuya Nakashima) who made Confessions and it comes.

Confessions is also another amazing movie by him, which is more thriller.

Edit: Keep in mind that Confessions and more importantly, World of Kanako, are really fucked up movies. So if you get offended easily I wouldn't recommend watching those. God, Nana Komatsu did such a good job as Kanako.

I used to be so into these but I felt like there just aren't that many new good ones anymore. I think I watched everything mentioned and everytime this topic comes up, it's same old recs. I want some new ones.

Also, I remember seeing these 3 like 15 years ago but I have no idea what they're called. I wonder if anyone knows what I'm talking about.

1. Movie about a group of Japanese students filming a student film at some haunted building, and weird stuff starts happening to the main girl.

2. Zombies with guns in the forest. It's two faction groups trying to achieve something and zombies come in the way. The movie ends with the two factions being reincarnated to continue their war.

3. Movie in a hospital with weird/zombie/infection things going on. It was a very disturbing movie. I don't remember much of it.

Just brought it up because I would love to watch these again if I can identify them.

Its not really a series, I mispoke. Its more like he made other movies akin to it. Theres Occult and Cult, they're usually seen as an unofficial trilogy.

I still need to see the latter two, just want to watch it in the dark with headphones. Maybe tonight actually!

One more TC! Jyuni Nin no Shinitai Kodomotachi, or 12 suicidal teens:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/2/1/0/AAR0xcAAEpai.jpg

Its more of a mix of thriller and mystery with some horror elements. Enjoyed it far more than I thought I would. Also stars Hana Sugisaki and Kanna Hashimoto, total hotties >_>

Last one probably, you have a lot of suggestions already (Unless I remember more good ones). The Inerasable, a supernatural horror. It has bad pacing but does scratch the supernatural itch.

Not much of a build up when you can see what it's all leading up to and how it will end. Atmosphere saved it from being bad.

Pretty obvious where this one is going

The infamous Aunt Mei (Bai Ling), a former gynecologist who performed abortions, makes dumplings with miraculous youth-restoring abilities. Mrs. Li (Miriam Yeung), a former actress desperate to make her womanizing husband (Tony Leung Ka Fai) pay attention to her again, initially refuses to eat them. However, after discovering their potency, she offers to pay Mei any price for more. Things are complicated when Mei is forced to flee the country and the dumplings' power begins to fade.
