Since the release of Ringu and its
Hollywood remakes, Asian horror films have become popular in other countries
outside the continent. Although Asian horror movies have produced good numbers
worldwide, the splash in international film awards has been smaller than
expected. A nomination for any Asian horror flick in the Oscars, the Academy
Awards should not be expected anytime soon. Horror flicks in general have done
poorly in such prestigious events. Those that pass rarely win any major awards.
Here are a few of the more popular Asian horror films and their accolades on
the international stage.
