Since we already have a rec thread, let's talk about the bad pieces of j-horror you've watched/read/played and the various things they did wrong.

I think the worst j-horror film I've watched was "Grotesque" (2009), which is about a guy kidnapping a couple on their first date and torturing them for seventy minutes. The torture scenes were dull, there's no real story and the characterisation attempt on the torturer was pitiful (his reason for being nuts was just stupid as hell).

I know torture flicks aren't exactly intellectual works, but I didn't know it was possible to make torturing a couple boring. No tension, no reason to care and none of those "ouch, that had to hurt" moments really.

It looked okay even if it was filmed pretty much entirely in a basement.

I only watched it because it got banned in the UK for a variety of reasons (most of it comes from the lack of justifiable context on what's happening), but really it was just crap.
