First to say very sorry for being late to reply you, as I had to take some time to memorize movies for the list of Asian twists below.
Oh! Have you already watched 'em? Then, you're a great follower of movies.
Agree with you. Irreversible twists our mind for its non-linear style of narration & brutality of its rape scenes. That's all 'bout it.
But, in Martyrs, it's still a puzzle for me as well "Why did that woman commit suicide in the end?".
She's not quite sure 'bout what will happen after death, even after she experimented that girl. Because, she's suspicious whether that girl have been in about-to-die status or after-death status, at the time she takes the statement. By other means, she thinks that it was yet another unsuccessful experiment. So, she commits suicide to see what will happen after death herself. That's how I got it.
Oh! What to say man...? I have a load of Asian twists to recommend you.

Anyway, enjoy these movies yourself! Thanks.
Thank you very much for this comprehensive list. By the look of it, you're definetly a movie-pro.
Sad to say, I have seen all the Hollywood movies you mentioned but only a few of the Asian ones.
Japan - Ring and The Grudge
Chineese - Silent witness
Thai - 4bia & Phobia 2
Korean - Oldboy, a tale of two sisters
Hindi - Wednesday (Ankur Arora Muder Case is a Hollywood copy)
And none of the others.
A word about Silent witness - one of the best Chineese movies I've ever seen. A Pity it isn't available in Bluray yet.
And what about Kahaani (2012)?
And I'm going to start downloading this list atraight away.
Thanks again.
