    the grudge was a lot better than ju on, but its always fun to see the original :p
    I would also look for the original "Ring", though i dont know the name. Japanese horror is a lot scarier to me for some reason...the stories are just so creepy :)

    Oh also Suicide Club or Jisatsu saakuru (yes I had to look up the title) that was a pretty good movie

    oh and St. john's wort or Otogiriso is another good one

    except for the whole ghost/curse aspect of it ;). There was really no detective work in it at all. none that was central to the plot anyway

    i wouldnt say battle royale is a horror movie, but its one of my favorite live action japanese movies of all time.

    anyone ever seen eat the schoolgirl?
    by the same guy that did the grudge(the japanese version)
    very disturbing
    though it starts out with a pretty interesting phone sex scene, I wasnt able to watch the whole thing as at one point it got a little too disturbing to watch

    ANYTHING by takashi miike
    i suggest picking up this flick called three extremes, 3 short flicks by asian directors, all incredibly fucked up.

    old boy is a good one
    and this movie Pulse (Kairo in japan) just got the american remake treatment and is coming out soon, but it will suck, but the original is pretty good, check it out.

    i thought Ichi was overrated. Audition was great tho :)
    Evil dead trap. is quite fun
    and i prefered Testuo 2 bodyhammer to tetsuo
    and apparently Organ is ment to be very good although it doesnt really do anything for me.
    Biozombie and Wild zero are quite fun tho
