    Good review site for Asian cinema?

    Just wondering as I'm starting to get back into them especially Asian horror. I use to visit www.kfccinema.com quite regulary for some good info but it's no longer running. Any suggestions?

    You could try Love HK Film (http://www.lovehkfilm.com/).

    www.kungfucinema.com is more about the fighting and www.hkflix.com is a good site to buy from with customer ratings and forums to discuss the films.

    However I'm subscribed to Impact Magazine (www.impactmoviemagazine.co.uk) and they have an Asian Extreme section. This month, they review Human Centipede, Meat Grinder and Macabre. If you don't like the paper version, you can also sign up to their site and buy a digital copy.

    It's not a massively well-known magazine, but it's been going 18 years and was started by Bey Logan. There's a nice mix of action, horror, sci-fi, television and anime from around the world, but it's less anime-biased than something like Neo magazine.

    Hope this helps, Zero9X.

    I could bung a couple of old issues in the post for you to peruse if you'd like and you're not specifically after up-to-date review wesites.

        Thanks QualityChimp, worked wonders and i'll have to check out this Impact Magazine, could have sworn i have seen it in my local WHsmith.
        Still after a nice website that does Japan, Korea and HK. Probably won't find a good one like KFCC again though.

          I really only know of Chinese review sites but View From The Brooklyn Bridge also covers other asian cinema:

          View from the brooklyn bridge (don't think it's been updated for a while but it has a good archive): http://brns.com/

          Far East Films-formerly Dragon's Den- http://www.fareastfilms.com/


          Hope those help

            I just use http://twitchfilm.net/ mainly. Asian cinema isn't all that great at the moment imo.
