Asian Horror Playlist

While I was browsing YouTube for something to watch, I started finding lots of full Asian horror movies with English subtitles and decided to make a playlist out of them.

Even though every Asian horror movie that I've ever watched seems to be exactly the same with long-haired ghosts and schoolgirls in uniform, I've still watched quite a few of them either on YouTube or Netflix when I had it.

I still don't own any Asian horror movies on DVD apart from "Ringu" (1998) and "The Host" (2006). I've never even opened "Ringu" and you can see that it's still shrink-wrapped. I know it's a bit crass but I actually prefer the American remakes. I also have "The Vengeance Trilogy" but I don't count any of those as horror.

If I was to start collecting them, I'd probably also buy "Dear Friend" (2004) which is much the same as "Forget Me Not" (2009), the original version of "Shutter" (2004), "Dream Home" (2010), and, of course, "The Cat" (2011).

Anyway, if you like Asian horror then you might find something new to enjoy on my playlist. If you have any other recommendations for me, please leave them as a comment below.

Playlist of Horror

Since I've been neglecting my blog again this week, I thought I'd better let you all know why. Not only have I got a new early morning job which means that each day is now completely backwards for me, but, also, I've been spending most of my time watching the plethora of full movies on YouTube.

As someone who has never really been into YouTube for uploading videos, I don't know if what I am going to say is going to make me look like a fool or whether something has actually changed on YouTube since the downfall of the Mega channels. I've noticed that there are now a hell of a lot more copyright infringing full movies on YouTube than ever before.

I wonder if this is a conscious effort by YouTube users to annoy the piss out of anyone who supported the SOPA act or if it's just because, with Megavideo and QuickSilverScreen now gone forever, there's nowhere else to easily upload movies anymore. Whatever the case, I'm the last person to complain about free horror movies.

I've found some absolute gems so far which I'm sure you'll enjoy too if you check out my playlist (above or on my YouTube channel itself). There are horrors from the '70s and '80s which I don't think even have a DVD release plus TV movies which I never thought I'd see again.

How long this blatant disregard for other people's copyrights is going to last before somebody steps in and shuts it all down is anyone's guess so I advise you to watch as much as you can while you can, and, of course, if you like what you see, buy it on DVD if at all possible.

If you don't care about any of this, here's an amusing picture which someone posted on Facebook recently. It makes you think, doesn't it?
