One recent Saturday night, with a pathetically empty social calendar and a storm raging outside, I decided a J-Horror marathon (with English subs, obvs) was in order. Things that are sadly often neglected in Hollywood these days. Have you ever seen Japanese porn? There’s more incest, rape, and sex with crustaceans than you can shake a stick at.īecause they so often work within limited budgets, Japanese film-makers are forced to rely on plot, atmospherics and pure acting ability to make their work shine. Other than that, Japan is one fucked up place.


It’s pretty unique, partly because ghost stories have permeated Japanese culture for millennia and been granted more respect and freedom to evolve than in most other societies.
