Uvula Aficionado

From one of the weirdest dark comedies/musicals, "The Happiness of the Katakuris," comes this brilliant, play-doh, semi-animated scene involving a miniature, winged creature and his love for uvulas:


Also by Takashi Miike (the guy's brilliantly twisted)

Takashi Miike Gawker!

Few directors can transform the modern moviegoers into gawkers and jaw-droppers like Takashi Miike. In the old days the shadow of a knife was enough to get the audience anxious and scared. Nowadays we are not easily shocked, except for when we watch one of Takashi’s movies. The films have the kind of twisted horror that would have gotten the director imprisoned and banned back in Hitchcock's time. Lucky for us, we live in a different age where we can enjoy a good fright, brought to us by a genius mind.

Takashi is a very prolific director and not all of his films are considered horror (specially that Dead or Alive trilogy…) but nonetheless some of the most shocking and disturbing scenes in film history come from his cinematography vision. Here’s an interview from the BBC in which he talks about the motivation behind his most important film: Audition.

Terminal Call

Those are not ramen noodles. And that is not a normal phone. If you hear an eerie ringtone coming from your cel. that isn't yours, consider yourself dead (or search frantically for the origins of the ghost haunting you).

If you're curious about the premise described above, watch One Missed Call. It's so good, they're coming up with an American remake.

Delish!

Almost everyone wants to stay young forever. It's the reason why women pay hundreds of dollars for cremes, surgeries, books, Botox injections, and herbal remedies. Nobody can stop time, it's how nature works. If somebody where to come up with a controversial way to keep youthful beauty intact, undoubtedly hundreds of women would leave morality behind and forget the consequences.
"Dumplings," a short movie found in the "Three Extremes I" collection, tells the story of a famous actress yearning for infinite youth. In order to keep her polished complexion, she visits Mei, a sexy woman who knows a special dumplings recipe, the equivalent of "the fountain of youth."
It's not until later that the audience learns about the secret ingredient in Mei's carefully made dumplings, unborn babies. Ching's need for beauty increases with every bite. When Mei is arrested, Ching is left with two options: grow older or consume the life of the baby she carries in her womb.

Extreme Cut

Three Extremes is a collection of short movies uniquely filmed and portrayed. These are some snapshots of Chan-wook Park short, "The Cut".  
A famous director walks into his home and is abducted by an unsettled fan. When he wakes up, he finds himself tied around the waist and his wife sitting in front of a piano, an array of wire strings attached to her fingers. One incorrect word or move might leave the frantic, crying woman fingerless. The movie was called "The Cut" for a reason.

Tongue Tied

Yes. This video clip is painful to watch. It's undeniable that worse things have been posted, but there's something about a man mutilating himself that makes the uncomfortableness of the scene almost unbearable. "Ichi the Killer" is a gory movie, it's a simple fact. The bloodbath starts from the very moment you hit the play button. If you find yourself squinting, looking away, or pressing pause, don't feel weak. Murder can be distressful. So can cutting off your tongue.

Note: Kids don't try this at home! Actually, kids don't watch Ichi the killer!

Ohhh the gore!

Just admit it. You love watching the gore in those crazy, twisted, Asian horror films. There's something about dead women crawling around unnaturally that sets you on edge, and you love it. It's a creepy obsession that sends thrilling chills up your spine. It's, well, bewilderment, curiosity, awkwardness, perplexity, and confusion all packaged together in one stupefied look. When the faucet starts spitting out wads of hair, some primal force sends you to hit the pause button and see it over and over again. It's foul yet fascinating.
In the first post, we're honored to show one of the creepiest scenes in horror history. Audition (Ôdishon), directed by Takashi Miike, follows the relationship of a man with a sweet, soft spoken, polite young woman hidding a dark secret in her past. As the story unfolds, her personality reveals a wicked girl who is up to no good. In the following clip, you will catch a glimpse of angelical Asami (Eihi Shiina) as she unveils her evil nature to her lover, Shigeharu (Ryo Ishibashi).



Did you see the leg? Disturbing!
