Like the description says, it's a documentary. A pretty good one at that, it tells how the J-Horror genre started in Japan.
Was an interesting dive into the sub-genre, as an outsider I learned a lot.
I watched it but it would have been better without the AI images.

I loved this documentary, it explained to me what Japanese people find scary and has given me a new way to look at these movies. Plus, it gave me movies I had never even heard of but now want to see with new eyes.
