Hideo Nakata
I rented Dark Water and it might be the most frightening film I have ever seen, not surprising given it was written by Koji Suzuki of Ringu fame. The direction and music were astonishing, however, so I decided to find more films by its director, also of Ringu fame, Hideo Nakata. Chaos is more Hitchcock than horror but the music and luscious, slightly damp suburban architecture of Tokyo are in the same league as Dark Water.
Channel 4 is somewhat dismissive of the region 2 Chaos dvd's inclusion of Curse, Death And Spirit as a nod to Nakata completists. Pre-Googling, I could not tell you what "pink eiga" cinema might be but I would be just as happy to have the freebie. Unfortunately the region 1 version I watched did not appear to have it.
