I haven't seen Dead Alive but I was reading about its director, Takashi Miike, very recently. He has made some notable horror movies yes. haha Aside from this there is 'Audition' which is another strange movie and contains one of the most terrifying scenes I've seen in a movie, I think. I was looking at Ju-on - the grudge and it sounds great, alas I haven't seen that either.
Others I like, the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is great. Psycho... and I want to watch some of Hitchcock's other great movies. Slasher flicks, I remember going to the cinema to watch Scream. I guess some of those other movies like Halloween, Friday the 13th, I don't remember very well. I liked Evil Dead, though, I think.
