Historically they are the well liked or classic films.

The Seasoning House has been on my Amazon wishlist for months so i included that.

Regarding the Asian horrors. I used to collect them around 2003 / 4 then hit a wall and have totally given up on them since. I have no wish to see anymore. Ever.

I'd also recommend adding The Bad Seed in respect to the classics.

I get you in some respects too with the J-Horror overload, as I experienced a similar revelation around the same time you did (mainly thanks to Tartan Video and their Asia Extreme sub-label). However, the Asian films I listed are all classics ('60s and '70s films) and are masterclasses of cinema in general rather than template copy cats of 2000 era ghost story films.

I don't particularly like evil children movies. Generally because film makers tend to wimp out and never kill the child, in a way making the ending a tad predictable.

I'll see how much Amazon are charging for Jigoku, Onibaba and Hausu. If they aren't too expensive i'll give them a go.

The Bad Seed is quite evil in its own way...

Hopefully you'll be able to find some classic Asian cinema at reasonable prices! Hausu is extremely bizarre, but absolutely fantastic...(in my eyes) Kwaidan and Kuroneko are definitely recommended too.

If you were to choose one, which one?

Onibaba would probably be my favourite, although I do highly rate all of them.

Many thanks, bizarre_eye for compiling the list, but I think it's a travesty that The Exorcist was so low!

It might not be the best film but it's definitely in the top 1
