Japanese/Korean Horror.

Can any of you guys recommend some good movies of this genre? I've been on a kick watching some on Netflix lately and would like some good input. I'm not restricting this to just these countries, but just something of the same style. Just need a break from all the Westernized horror movies I've watched my entire life. And thanks in dvance to anyone who replies!

I can think of 3 movies, Ju-On, Kairo, and Ringu.

I saw Ju-On2 on Netflix, but I don't know if I have to watch the first one to understand it. I will check the other ones out though, thanks!

Hell yeah, Battle Royale is awesome, I wouldn't say its horror, but badass. I'll check out the other one, thanks!

I really liked Ringu. The whole series is good, but I always liked part 1 the best. I've watched Ju-on a long time ago and I remember enjoying it.
The Eye (Hong Kong, 2002) was pretty good too. It wasn't too scary, but it had a few scares and was enjoyable.
Which reminds me, I still haven't watched Dark Water and I got it ages ago.

Thanks guys, they've all been added to the list.

Also for anyone interested, last Friday I saw Noroi(The Curse) and I thought that was done really well for being a fake documentary type. Great pacing, good characters. If you can get your hands on it, watch it!

Okay, I just got the time to watch that trailer... and as the top comment said "What the f*** did I just watch?!" Lolz. Definitely looks interesting.

It's an incredibly surreal movie. I don't know if I'd strictly call it horror, but there's definitely some unnerving stuff in it.
