Asian Horror films come with a certain reputation, that reputation has helped put peoples attention their way and given them viewers they wouldn’t of otherwise had.
I myself only started watching them due to stories I was being told about certain films and it drove my intrigue to seek these films out (which wasn’t as easy as you think, we’re talking early 2000’s, so pre-Netflix and VHS was still going), whilst watching one the other day I decided to do a list of my favourite’s of the genre.
So here it is, my list of my top fifteen Asian Horror Films (the list is not in a favouritism order):
