Recommend some foreign movies for me please?

I'm interested in viewing some foreign movies but need help finding some worth while. I'm more interested in the Japanese, Korean, or Chinese films, than European right now. I just watched Gate of Flesh, which was okay... wasn't spectacular on my list, but just okay for me.
Any suggestions? I love thrillers, and anything filled with suspense. A little skin and some blood & gore are always a great combo too.
Thanks!

It's over the top but if you're prepared for it, you may enjoy it.; ▶ Reply to This

But as for Jap,chine,korean,,,,,Id probably say just goto netflix and look it up, there is over 100 films just in horror. I know all these American remakes like the grudge, the ring, shutter, one missed call, the eye, dark water, red eye were all better to watch as originals.; ▶ Reply to This

Re-cycle
Reincarnation
Hausu---this one isn't available (unfortunately) on Netflix but I saw it recently on the IFC channel. I wish Netflix would carry it and already put in my request. It's a trippy, haunted house movie sort of like The Grudge. If you get to see it, it's fabulous.; ▶ Reply to This

Also, be sure to watch the other two movies that are part of the vengeance trilogy (with Oldboy). The order that you watch doesn't matter.

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance
Lady Vengeance

Also
Battle Royale
Infernal Affairs

and for something different

The Host; ▶ Reply to This
