oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhh, this is a good site, hopefully it will give me some examples for other movies that could be a backup, if anything goes wrong!!!

it states
"J-Horror is a term used to refer to Japanese contributions to horror fiction in popular culture. Whereas American modern day horror films tend to rely heavily on special effects and a multitude of sub-genre (i.e. slashers, demons, extraterrestrials, etc.), J-horror tends to focus on psychological horror and tension building (anticipation), particularly involving ghosts and poltergeist. Certain popular J-Horror films are based on manga (e.g. Tomie, Uzumaki and Yogen). Many contain themes of folk religion such as: possession, exorcism, shamanism, precognition, and yokai (apparitions, spirits and demons)"
