how do we make a good film adaptation of an Ito Junji manga?

should be like Un Chien Andalou

>>80830901

I find the stories are always shit, they just have a couple of panels of interesting imagery. The best course of action would be for a solid horror writer to hire him as a creative consultant for the visual aspects of a movie.

So

>>80830901
either a real cheesy gyo adaption with good effects
or a tv adaption of spiral

>>80830901
>Ito Junji
>good
You don't.

it should star scarlett johansson

but seriously, i think gregg araki should do it. does he know japanese?

Please no. I would laugh my ass off at people screaming IIIITTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOO in the cinema though.

it needs to be david lynch.

Whichever one they adapt, make sure they rewrite the ending, cause Ito can't write them for shit.

Uzumaki already had a film

>>80830962
fucking this, and the endings are always a let down.

Quads of truth

why do you guys always want adaptations of shit that functions perfectly well in its own medium?

What if some guy just came along and dumped Ito manga?

why does every single thing need a film adaptation

best Ito chapter was that additional bonus chapter at the end of Gyo, where people go into humanoid shaped holes and end up getting stretched. Really scary and interesting concept

>>80832591

>>80830962
>>80832793
If you want super scary shit, you came to the wrong place. Ito's style is always campy horror / horror comedy like the old twilight zone series.

>>80832812
All of his stories are the same

>Introduce interesting premise/monster
>Heighten suspense as monster grows more threatening to protag
>Story ends before climax or without a satisfying conclusion

>>80832643
this.

Junji Ito is a hack. None of his works is scary or artistic, he's just an autistic paranoid faggot. The gimmick of every little thing around you is a ghost is the most banal japshit gimmick I've ever seen in my entire life, are gooks truly autistic?

Compare this faggot to Lucio Fulci. Fulci was an artist, his horror, stories with the lack of antagonists, is an allegory to the omnipresence of suffering on earth. His imagery delivers this message. Ito's horror, it has nothing of value. It's meaningless vulgar bottom of the barrel schlock for 10 year olds. Don't mention the name of this faggot hack on this kino board ever again.

I'm reading.

>>80832643
I like his continuing short stories about the kid who 'married' a monster lady thing.

>>80833126
Why did they need to live in the chair after she met chairman? That can't have been practical. Also that guy that said Ito's endings were shit was right, unless this was intentional comedy.

Wrong

The total opposite the endings are perfect

Faggots like you expect some wrap up or happy ending, Junjo itos stuff is so much more disturbing because it usually just ends with no resolution whatsoever

Case in point The Neighbours Window

Ito is good but I think his endings can be kinda lakcluster. Sometimes it feels that his stories don't really have an ending, but he just had to stop somewhere.

I think the problem is that he walks a fine line between being traditional horror and weird fiction. The difference is that in weird fiction what's important is the sense of "wrongness" that can't really be explained, while horror always delves into an explanation. Ito does that sometimes, tries to explain the source of the horrors in stories that don't need it, and that's why some of his stories feel kinda off, while others that stick to being weird, like amigara fault orzumaki are very successful at being creepy.

>>80833271

Most people actually want a more horrifying ending.

It's kinda of lackluster to end say the one you posted with just "The house is living and the window is moving closer". And the main character even says it himself "We're probably going to move". That seems like a pretty big resolution. Not really scary when the "threat" doesn't actually ever do anything and the solution is to simply just leave.

>>80832755
>>80833226
I haven't read all of his work mostly because I was kinda always dissapointed with the endings, so I still haven't come across these two

>>80833374
I've always found that the fact most protagonists in his stories don't seem to be THAT bothered or scared by what's going on makes it even more fucked up

I personally find it really unsettling, though I will agree when you have longer stories like spiral conclude without a proper resolution it can be a bit disappointing

>>80830962
Back on /v/ this was actually a thing. He was on the team for Silent Hills. This fucker, Kojibmo, and Del Torro would have been the dream team and yet here we are with more phantom pain than The Phantom Pain

Lynch could do it, although he would probably make it even weirder

>>80833451
>I've always found that the fact most protagonists in his stories don't seem to be THAT bothered or scared by what's going on makes it even more fucked up
you should give Thomas Ligotti's Teatro Grottesco a look. Kind of has that strange "unreality" feeling where events are taking place in the world as we know it, but the protagonists are relatively nonchalant about bizarre phenomena.

>>80830901
>Junji Ito

Pure horror

thx for dumping ito man, its really good

Junji Ito does have some pretty bad endings, but a lot of them are pure kino. Take this one:
>Friends go to beach.
>One of them meets a qt.
>Qt says "I like you because I see people around you lol!"
>Wtf does that mean?
>Explains that loads of people die in the sea on this beach.
>He suddenly starts feeling sick one night and RUNS into the sea.
>They rescue him but he's screaming about a teacher coming to him begging him to rescue her kids who have been washed into the sea.
>No one can see the teacher or children but him.
>Next day his corpse is washed ashore.
>The friends go home and look at photos of their trip.
>They see a photo of their dead friend stood by the beach surrounded by horrifying ghost children hung on to him.
>Ask their friend who took the photos if he has any photos of the mysterious qt they met.
>Screams at them that those photos are beyond fucked and he got rid of them and to stop asking.
>End
>???
Perfect

>>80830962
Exactly. He's good at making creepy atmosphere and imagery.

>>80833904
Hanging balloons is one of my favourite stories and the ending is great.

>>80833917
>weather forecast today : lots of face baloons trying to hang people
>still try to go to work

Make one about the murder of Junko Furuta.

its only a matter of time before a true horror kino maker discovers Ito

you´ve seen nothing yet, not like this

your doing gods work, Trip fag

>>80832406
because the film industry is starving for content. look at how many remakes and reboots there are.

>>80833350
>The difference is that in weird fiction what's important is the sense of "wrongness" that can't really be explained, while horror always delves into an explanation.
I kind of agree, but I'd say that what you call "weird fiction" is what I think real horror should be. A conclusion or explanation is the antithesis to true horror. As soon as you give your viewers an explanation of the monster and show it can be killed, then it's not a horror movie, it's a monster movie.

That thing is one of Ito's favorites. She showed up in several of his short stories.

Holy shit this. Just like at the balloon one where the father just tried to guard his neck against fuckin flying human heads makes it extra creepy.

Fuck you for making me read this, I despise horror and everyone who enjoys it.

>Don't you get it, I want to feel like shit!
Wew

>>80830979
we already have the gyo animu which is utter shit

no matter how it was made, it would still lead to angry weebs screeching and biting online all throughout production

>>80835802
That is some ultraman tier makeup

>>80835185
Wait, is that the end?
What the fuck, this one didn't even leave off on some kind of reveal like the one about the neighbor. It's like he just stopped drawing 5 pages before the end

Why aren't there any decent scans of Uzumaki?
It's his most praised work, yet all I can find is blurry, mirrored garbage.

>>80835185
