With both at their absolute peak in quality noted, which do you perfer: American or Japanese horror movies?

American.

Because I usually know what the hell is going on in those movies.

The generic Japanese horror flicks I've seen have been more memorable than the generic American horror flicks, for what it's worth. 'fraid I haven't seen many main-stream Japanese horror flicks, but I heart Rungu was much better than the American remake. Also, the fact that American production companies are remaking Japanese horror flicks (The Grudge too) is telling me that they are starting to acknowledge the fact that the American Horror creativity well went dry in 1989.

I prefer UK horror actually. I thought 28 Days Later was a great horror film. And I loved The Descent. Also Cradle Of Fear it the most violent movie I've ever seen*Not very good though just violent as hell*

I really don't own many horror movies.

The Thing
American Psycho
Silent Hill
Nightbreed
Sleepy Hallow
Hellraiser

My DVD collection site also says Underworld is a horror movie but I hardly agree. Anyways horror is a hard one for me to get into because half the time the acting is so bad it's laughable. Not to mention instead of showing the monsters they beat around it the whole movie and show them at the end for like 5 minutes. Like Feast, that was a piece of crap.

That or their just plain dumb, like The Ring or The Grudge. OMFG hair is scary! AHH RUN FROM WATER!1!!! Or SAW where the audience goes "OH MY GOD WHAT A TWIST!" Yeah a twist if your an idiot.
