J Horror

Japanese horror in many ways is very different than the usual franchise monsters and slasher movies in America. J horror is influenced by old ghost stories and from our useless materials that we take for granted in our everyday lives; and I find that very original and creative. It makes you question that things are not always what appear. When watching the film Kairo after class I felt really involved in the mystery and especially the concept behind the supernatural haunting computers, cell phones and cyber space.
