I can't get enough of it. Especially the horror variety. Most often it is the cinematography that hooks me, sometimes the directing, or maybe it's the petite, frail Asian women with the softest voices that really fit the eery motives of those films. Whatever the reasons are I just looove them, even the bad ones. Granted, the bad ones are quite bad, like I watched too many Asian horror films that center around "cell phones" or a vengeful long-dark-haired female ghost. But still, I just really enjoy all of them.

What is the last Asian horror movie you watched? Yesterday I watched the feature length version (I had seen the short version) of the Dumplings on Sundance channel; it is not exactly a horror film, but it has a creepy theme nevertheless. Loved the cinematography and Bai Ling was actually for once good in a film.

I was just about to ask about that movie "Dumplings." Something about retaining youthful looks with a "secret" ingredient? Is it good? I was gonna rent it......

You are gonna rent the feature-length version? either way, it is good, I think. But you gotta have a strong stomach. It is not a "scary" movie though. Much of the enjoyment comes from the interesting story and the atmosphere created. I say rent it, but I don't know, maybe you may hate it...It's a hard one to recommend.

I loved Dumplings. Try the trilogy version first, that way you can check out Miike's Box. Beautifully done.

I don't know much about it but I LOVED The Curse of the Golden Flower.
