Interesting, cool documentary!
Interesting doc into a fascinating subject.
The fact that ghosts physically attacking humans makes a film become NOT scary to Japanese audiences and it’s the total opposite for western audiences fascinates me
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.
