What Happened to Japanese Horror? | Video Essay

Описание: What happened to Japanese horror?
Well that's what our video essay will try to answer by taking a condensed look at the long cinematic history of Japanese horror. We start with the traditional Kaidan stories like in Kuroneko, the cyberpunk era with Tetsuo: The Iron Man, to the peak of the J-horror boom with Ringu.

-------------Editor's Notes :
-I say Ring instead of Ringu because after researching I found out that apparently the title "Ringu" was born out of a miscommunication. The initial book the movie was adapted from is Ring so the name should be Ring. Although, I did write Ringu in the captions so it's easier to find.


-It was hard to find clips from the "Scary True Stories" anthology series, I only managed to find a video on YouTube but it had not date of release or credits at the end. So, I just added it as the closest reference.
