this is an article about j-horror producer tAKA iCHISE and the films such as Ju-on and Ring-o. these are said to be of the leading j-horror films of the ages and are very influential on the views of j-horror critics.
This article comment so the spiritual basis of j-horror films, especially such films as the ring and the grudge. he also talks about how he and sAM rAIMI discussed the values of j-horror and western horror, their similarities and their differences. Gore Verbinski the director of the ring was an American director transferring a japanese horror to western audiences, however in doing this he has changed the purity of its spiritual nature.
sPIRITUAL nATURE...
As I have said in a previous quote that western audiences prefer to look at monsters than spirits, perhaps because western religions and spiritual beliefs are not as prominent as Asian beliefs. it is true that Asian culture puts a stronger emphasis on the spiritual world, whereas western culture does not view “spirits” as a reality. In Japan, if you’re haunted by a Ghost, you’re bloody haunted by a ghost!!!
