Sorry everybody, work has been increasingly demanding lately.  Also, I&#8217;ve been playing through <a href = \"?p=7100000\">Michigan<\/a>, which has not proven very post-worthy.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I thought I&#8217;d tell you guys about some horror movies I watched recently.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0286751\/\">Pulse (Kairo)<\/a> <b>finally<\/b> came out in the US.  I guess they are remaking this movie, but I have no idea why&#8211;its themes of isolation and loneliness are so amazingly Japanese that I can&#8217;t see the movie translating to white, American, English-speaking actors well at all.  Anyway, like everything from director <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0475905\/\">Kiyoshi Kurosawa<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0123948\/\">Cure<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0201517\/\">Charisma<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0403990\/\">Doppelganger<\/a>), I can easily and without hesitation recommend this film.  Be warned that the movie is sort of social commentary wrapped in a horror context, and the narrative is convoluted to say the least.\n<li> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0261983\">Session 9<\/a> is an American horror film that somebody recommended to me because of its\n<p><a href = \"?p=600000\">Silent Hill<\/a>-like atmosphere.  I checked it out and was pleasantly surprised to find it a mature, subtle, psychological horror movie in the vein of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0081505\/ \">The Shining<\/a>.  It&#8217;s not nearly as competent as Kubrick&#8217;s seminal film, but it hits a lot of the right notes and is very careful not to spoil the horror with too much information.  The ending sort of misses a beat here or there, but generally I think it&#8217;s one of the best American-made horror movies that has come out in a long time.<\/p>\n<li> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0105569\/\">Testuo II: Body Hammer<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0330904\/\">A Snake of June<\/a> are both weirdo films by weirdo director <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0875354\/\">Shinya Tsukamoto<\/a>.  Tsukamoto&#8217;s claim to fame is the original <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0096251\/\">Tetsuo the Iron Man<\/a> (and also he was the ultra-buff old guy in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0296042\/\">Ichi the Killer<\/a>), but unfortunately Tetsuo 2 isn&#8217;t as good.  Actually, it&#8217;s incredibly similar to the first movie, but the story is a little more clear and it&#8217;s in color.  I rather enjoyed Snake of June, though it isn&#8217;t really horror: it&#8217;s about a stalker forcing a woman to act upon some of her fantasies that are too racy for her husband, and the film only contains one giant animatronic penis scene, which is a record low for Tsukamoto.\n<\/ul>\n<p>Anyway, that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve had the chance to see lately.
